What is Earl Grey tea?

Earl Grey tea is a black tea blend infused with the delicate essence of bergamot, a fragrant citrus fruit. This enchanting combination results in a unique flavour profile that is both robust and aromatic. Earl Grey tea can be traced back to 19th century England and is believed to have been created as a tribute to the English aristocrat and former Prime Minister Charles Grey. As the story goes, during a trip to China, Charles saved the life of a Lord. As a thank you, the Lord gifted Charles Grey with a recipe for black tea scented with the oil of bergamot oranges, laying the foundations for Earl Grey tea. Now, it is a timeless classic that continues to captivate tea enthusiasts all over the world with its elegant flavour and rich heritage.
