The distinctive aroma and flavor of our Earl Grey tea comes from the bergamot plant, a citrus plant similar to the orange with green skin like a lime. The name, Earl Grey, is in honor of Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom under King William IV from 1830-1834. It was once served in political circles by Grey’s wife, Lady Grey, where it became popular.
Today, this delightful tea can be drunk on its own or as a heady Earl Grey tea latte with steamed milk and sugar to taste. It can also be used to flavor everything from cocktails to confections. Order a bag of this gourmet, loose-leaf tea today and enjoy the bright, eye-opening flavor.
