There are two stories about the origin of Earl Grey tea: One suggests that the Earl Grey received a box of this perfumed tea from a Chinese mandarin and was so taken with it that he asked Twinings to reproduce the flavor. The second version states that during a stormy crossing, the ship's cargo was jumbled, and bergamot oil spilled into a tea chest. Instead of discarding the tea, the Earl tried it and found the result delightful. By the way, Messmer Finest Earl Grey is UTZ Certified. Its origin can be traced from the producer back to the fields. UTZ, a term from the ancient Maya, means "Good." The Dutch organization UTZ Certified is a program and quality label for sustainable farming. This label guarantees that the tea used was grown socially, ecologically, and economically.
