Traditionally Earl Grey was a blend of Chinese and Indian teas scented with oil from the citrus bergamot fruit - similar to an orange. One tale tells how a British diplomat saved the life of a Mandarin and was given the recipe for the blend in gratitude. Upon returning to Britain, the diplomat presented the blend to the Prime Minister - Earl Grey (Prime Minister 1830-1834). The blend became ever after known for him. This tea is blended with high grade teas from Sri Lanka, which have classic ceylon character and color. We enhance this premium tea with natural flavor, not artificial flavors designed to mask inferior teas. Processed and blended in Canada.
