SanSiro Organic Tea Earl Grey & Citrus

Earl Grey is the name of a tea blend that consists of black tea and originally was made exclusively from Chinese tea varieties. It is lightly flavored with the fine, fragrant-bitter oil of the bergamot fruit. The tea variety is named after Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, who abolished the East India Company's price monopoly in the tea trade with China in 1833 as British Prime Minister. A legend says that during a storm on a crossing at sea between England and China, the ship's cargo was severely jostled, causing bergamot oil to spill onto the tea bales being transported. Black tea with bergamot flavor and fruit pieces. Packed in a protective atmosphere.
