Early Grey Tea
Traditionally Earl Grey was a blend of Chinese and Indian teas scented with oil from the citrus bergamot fruit - a sort of orange. Stories about the origins of Earl Grey are numerous. One such tale tells how a British diplomat on a mission to China saved the life of a Mandarin. As a gift of gratitude, the diplomat was given the recipe for this flavored tea. Upon his return to Britain, the diplomat presented the tea to the Prime Minister of the day, Earl Grey. Another story says it was the Prime Minister himself who saved the Mandarin. In any event it was the Prime Minister of England (1830-1834) Earl Grey who made this tea fashionable.

The best earl grey I've tried
Hands down the best Earl Grey I've ever had. I've been drinking Early Grey for 30 years and had it everywhere and nothing comes even close to All Tea's Earl Grey. Outstanding.
The bergamot is just the right amount and the Ceylon black tea that is used as the base is just perfect. I like to have this in the morning, but I end up drinking it all day.
Well done, All Tea.
Earl Grey
Thanks! You're not alone in thinking that!
