Character

Earl Grey is a combination of Chinese and Indian tea. This blend is then seasoned with bergamot oil, so that its full body carries the typical character of malty notes with a fresh lemony hint from the bergamot.

Fun fact

The story goes that the tea is called after Earl Charles Grey, a British politician from the Eighteenth Century. During one of his trade missions to Asia, Charles Grey was offered to drink this tea. When a servant of the Earl saved a young boy from his death, the boy’s father named the tea after Earl Grey out of gratitude.
