This noble black tea classic delights with a hint of lemony freshness, which it owes to organically cultivated bergamot.
Earl Grey is a tea blend that originally consisted exclusively of Chinese teas and was lightly flavoured with the fine, fragrant-bitter oil of bergamot.
The tea was named after Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey (1764-1845). In 1833, as British Prime Minister, he abolished the East India Company's price monopoly in the tea trade with China. However, tea was not actually invented by Earl Grey. Legend has it that during a storm on the crossing, the cargo was badly shaken up and bergamot oil poured onto the tea bales. When the ship arrived in London, Lord Grey was shown the damage and decided to first taste the tea and then decide whether the cargo should be destroyed. However, the tea was so well received by friends and acquaintances that the Earl decided to put the "flavoured" tea on the market.
Today, an Earl Grey is not only blended from Chinese teas, but also from Indian varieties, and goes perfectly with slightly salty dishes and small snacks.
