A Noble Legacy in Every Cup
Earl Grey tea carries a rich history dating back to the 1830s, named after Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey and British Prime Minister. Legend suggests this blend was created as a diplomatic gift, featuring bergamot oil from Calabria, Italy. The Assam tea base comes from a region that revolutionized tea cultivation in the 19th century. In Victorian England, Earl Grey became a symbol of sophistication, often served during afternoon tea gatherings. The addition of bergamot oil to black tea was initially a solution for preserving tea during long sea voyages, but its unique flavor profile quickly gained popularity among London's elite society.
