History of Earl Grey Tea

Earl Grey tea is one of the most famous flavoured teas in the world, known for its distinctive citrus aroma.

It is traditionally made by infusing black tea with bergamot oil, extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange.

The origins of Earl Grey tea date back to the early 19th century.

It is commonly linked to Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey and former British Prime Minister.

Legend suggests that a Chinese tea master blended the tea as a gift for Earl Grey after one of his envoys saved the tea master’s son.

Another version states that the blend was created to complement the water at Earl Grey’s estate.

While its exact origins remain uncertain, the tea gained popularity and became a staple in British tea culture.

Today, Earl Grey is enjoyed worldwide in various forms, including classic black tea, green tea, and herbal variations.
