Earl Grey Tea

$9.99

According to popular legend, Earl Grey tea owes its name to Charles, Earl Grey, who served as the British Prime Minister during the 1830s under King William IV. The story goes that this tea was presented to Earl Grey as a token of gratitude from a Chinese Mandarin, in appreciation for Grey's men saving the Mandarin's drowning son. The defining characteristic of Earl Grey tea is its flavoring with bergamot oil, derived from a pear-shaped citrus fruit grown near the Mediterranean. This unique ingredient imbues the blended black tea with an exotic complexity and a distinctive, delightful aroma. The blend of the robust black tea with the fragrant bergamot creates a sensory experience that is both rich and aromatic, making Earl Grey a timeless favorite among tea enthusiasts.
