Earl Grey Tea: an ingenious and much adored blend created by
Earl Grey (1764-1845) of England. He was Prime Minister to King William IV
in the early 19th century. The legend is that the Earl was given the recipe
by a Chinese mandarin with whom he was friends, and whose life he had saved.
We continue with this famed tradition, bringing to you a rich blend premium,
aromatic teas with a subtle infusion of pure Bergamot Orange.
Earl Grey is a blend of Indian and Ceylon teas. The tea gets its unusual
flavor from oil of BERGAMOT. Bergamot is a small acidic orange.
The latest research indicates that the Bergamot orange is a cross between
the sweet or pear lemon (Citrus Limetta) and the Seville or sour orange
(Citrus Aurantium). The sour orange is native to southern Vietnam, hence
the Chinese connection. This tea has a light refreshing taste, and can be
served hot with or without milk or sugar. It can be used to make iced tea.
Suttons of London's Earl Grey Tea is a full bodied and refreshing blend
which can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
