The premium Ceylon tea leaves are delicately scented with the essential oil of bergamot fruit and then mixed with vibrant blue cornflowers.
History of Earl Grey
Earl Grey tea takes its name from the Second Earl of Grey, Charles Grey, who was an important figure in British history - and in the history of tea consumption in Britain. One apocryphal story suggests that a bergamot infused black tea was gifted to the Earl Grey by a Chinese tea maker. Legend has it that the Earl’s men, who were stationed in China, saved the tea maker’s son from drowning. To show his gratitude, the Chinese man created a blend of black teas to gift the Earl. Allegedly, he added the bergamot oil to combat the taste of minerals in the water in the Earl’s Northumberland home.
