Earl Grey Collage

The Prime Minister of England (1830-1834) Earl Grey made this tea fashionable.

Bergamot oil, derived from the peel of the bergamot citrus fruit gives Earl Grey teas their classic flavor. The tea base and the amount of flavoring oil used greatly affects the flavor of the tea. Adding vanilla, citrus flavor or additional ingredients gives Earl Grey a new flavor dimension.

Earl Grey tea was named after Charles Grey, the second earl in his line. He was Prime Minister to King William IV in the early 19th century. The legend is that the Earl was given the recipe by a Chinese mandarin with whom he was friends, and whose life he had saved. The tea gets its unusual flavor from oil of Bergamot. Bergamot is a small acidic orange. The latest research indicates that the Bergamot orange is a cross between the sweet or pear lemon and the Seville or sour orange. The sour orange is native to southern Vietnam, hence the Chinese connection. This tea has a light refreshing taste.
