Earl Grey: A Timeless Classic Among English Teas
Recognizable by its delicate bergamot fragrance, an aromatic citrus fruit that sits between lime and bitter orange, traditional Earl Grey tea is made with a base of black tea from oxidized Camellia sinensis leaves.
Though originating in England, Earl Grey is steeped in various legends. The most popular one ties the creation of this bergamot-infused tea to the British noble family of Charles Grey (1764-1845)—“Earl Grey” being the English translation of “Comte Grey.” The story goes that a servant of the Grey family had the inspiration to add a slice of bergamot to the tea served to his masters, unknowingly creating what would become one of the most renowned flavored teas in the Western world.
