We LOVE our ! Earl Grey is one of the most instantly recognizable teas on the planet. Current legend states that the blend was created in the 1800’s for British Prime Minister Charles Grey, when Chinese black tea was scented with fragrant bergamot (a coastal Mediterranean citrus fruit). Whether or not the story is absolutely true, the pairing has been extremely popular ever since.
Our Earl Grey starts with a smooth black tea as a base, combined with bright bergamot oil. The citrus smell out of the bag is distinct and pungent; the aroma and flavor melds beautifully with the black tea once it’s brewed. The bergamot is the first thing you taste, with the smooth tannic finish of the black tea pleasantly coating your mouth as you swallow your sip.
This classic tea is incredibly uplifting; a great start to your morning at home, but just as enjoyable as an afternoon pick-me-up. Earl Grey is lovely with a splash of vanilla syrup (bonus points if it’s homemade) and some milk; there’s nothing quite like a London Fog. Even iced or cold brewed, the bergamot remains king (or Earl, if you will) and is the highlight of this tea.
