Earl Grey is probably the world's most famous flavoured tea - and it's the floral, citrussy fragrance of the bergamot orange that gives it that flavour.
This iconic tea first dates back to the early 19th century. As is often the case in tea, it has many origin stories. One tale suggests that it was given to Earl Charles Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830s, as a diplomatic gift from China – but there’s little evidence to support that. A more pragmatic theory suggests the use of bergamot simply helped tea traders disguise poor quality tea leaves, and the unique fragrance caught on.
However it came to be, today this classic British tea is loved worldwide as one the most refined and distinctive flavoured teas.
Bergamot is most commonly paired with black tea, but we’ve found that it also matches wonderfully with our unique African green tea blend.
For this blend, we source green tea from somewhere a little different. Rather than choosing leaves from China, the world’s biggest tea (and green tea) producer, we’ve found that green teas from Kenya and Rwanda pair particularly well with citrus.
The resulting blend is a delicate and mellow tea with no harshness or bitterness and a hint of crispness, lifted by that aromatic bergamot.
