Try a small size—about three servings—of our Earl Grey black tea. Click here to order regular retail sizes. The namesake of Charles, England's second Earl Grey, this popular drink—traditionally a blend of strong black tea and bergamot—has been produced since the 1830s. Our version starts with a single-estate organic Assam from northern India, which is scented only with pure bergamot oil that has been naturally extracted from the fruit’s skin. The full citrus notes are balanced enough with the rich black tea base so that it can enjoyed plain, or with milk and a sweetener.
