Earl Grey

A British tea classic, Earl Grey is the most widely enjoyed black tea blend in the world. Earl Grey dates back to the nineteenth century tea trade when Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, was presented with a gift of Taitaicha—tea scented with citrus blossoms—during his travels in Canton. After Grey returned home, his namesake tea became wildly popular when the tea salons of Europe infused black teas with the essence of the bergamot citrus fruit that grows in Reggio Di' Calabria, Italy. We’ve crafted our premium Earl Grey using naturally sweet and smooth black teas from Yunnan and Thailand, accented with the first early winter pressing of bergamot essential oil which has the most delicately floral and citrusy aromatics.
