A superior blend of elegant Yunnan and spicy Ceylon with natural French Bergamot. An Earl Grey of particular distinction.

One of our best selling Earl Grey teas and rightly so. Every Earl Grey enthusiast should indulge in this version. It is full of good taste in every sense.

There are many claims to the origin of the name of this famous tea. Our favourite is that it is eponymously named after Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830s who, it is claimed, received a gift of tea flavoured with bergamot oil from a grateful Chinese mandarin. The fact that bergamot was unknown in China at the time is overlooked.

In time, Earl Grey's blend became popular with all sections of British society and is famous worldwide as one of Britain's most popular blends.

Region & Growing Info

China & Sri Lanka

This blended tea is from both China and Sri Lanka.

China produces a diverse range of tea, with delicately, floral white teas from the hilltops of Yunnan to clean, alluring green teas, before moving to bold, dark teas such as earthy, decadent Pu-Erh.  There is indeed a tea for everyone.  Most tea is grown in the south of China with the climate being favourable for tea plants to mature slowly, growing spectacularly in cooler, higher elevations.

Sri Lanka is home to teas with that of its historical name, Ceylon. Known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, the teas tell a wonderful story. Tea gardens in Sri Lanka thrive in their enviably position across high elevations, enjoying bright sunlight in the day and cool temperatures at night. This favourable climate produces several harvests per year.
