When it comes to classic teas that exude elegance and sophistication, few can rival the timeless charm of Earl Grey. This iconic blend has captivated tea enthusiasts for centuries with its aromatic citrus notes and delicate black tea base. Named after the 2nd Earl Grey, a prominent British statesman of the 19th century, this tea has evolved from being a private blend to a global sensation, adorning teacups and warming hearts all around the world.
The exact origin of Earl Grey tea remains shrouded in mystery, but the most popular legend traces its roots back to China. It is believed that the tea was presented as a gift to Lord Grey by a Chinese tea trader, possibly as a gesture of gratitude for the assistance given to his countrymen. The unique flavor of this tea comes from the oil of bergamot, a type of citrus fruit grown predominantly in Italy. The bergamot oil is derived from the rind of the fruit and adds a distinct and delightful citrusy twist to the traditional black tea blend.
