A British tea classic, Earl Grey is the most widely enjoyed black tea blend in the world. Earl Grey dates back to the nineteenth-century tea trade when Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, was presented with a gift of tea scented with citrus blossoms during his travels in Canton. After Grey returned home, his namesake tea became wildly popular when the tea salons of Europe infused black teas with the essence of the bergamot citrus fruit that grows in Reggio Di’ Calabria, Italy. Our organic Earl Grey combines robust and fruity black tea with mellow, caramel sweet Yunnan black. This original blend perfectly complements the floral high notes of geranium and rose found in our first-pressing bergamot essential oil. We always use environmentally friendly packaging of our teas. We never use candy, sugar, or flavorings in our teas. Suggested Steeping: 8 ounces of water 212 F 1 teaspoon 4 minutes
