Our organic Classic Earl Grey can please even the most picky of Earl Grey lovers– with a bold Assam tea as the base and pure, organic bergamot oil used to flavor the leaves, it is an elevated version of one of the western world’s most popular teas.
For those who are curious, the difference between our Earl Grey and our Classic Earl Grey is simple– the Classic Earl Grey uses an organic Assam tea as its base where the Earl Grey uses an Orange Pekoe from Ceylon, and the Classic Earl Grey uses bergamot oil where Earl Grey uses bergamot flavoring.
Perhaps more than any other tea, Earl Grey appears to have been the beverage of choice for one fictitious character after the next. From James Bond, to Star Trek’s Captain Jean-Luc Picard, to Sir Leigh Teabing of the DaVinci code, Earl Grey holds a special place in the world of storytelling.
Named after the 1830's British Prime Minister, Earl Grey is the western world's most popular tea. Earl Grey has traditionally meant any type or blend of tea which is scented with oil of bergamot, a fruit resembling an orange found in the Mediterranean region. Corfu, Greece was the center of the bergamot trade during the same decades it was headquarters for the British Mediterranean fleet, commanded by Lord Grey in London.
