INFORMATION:
Traditionally Earl Grey was a blend of Chinese and Indian teas scented with the oil from the citrus bergamot fruit. The stories of Earl Grey are numerous. One such tale tells how a British diplomat on a mission to China saved the life of a Mandarin and as a gift of gratitude was given the recipe for this flavored tea. This diplomat upon his return to Britain presented the tea to the Prime Minister of the day, Earl Grey. Another story says it was the Prime Minister himself who saved the Mandarin. In any event it was the Prime Minister of England (1830-1834) Earl Grey who made this tea fashionable.
Premium Tea and Natural Flavoring:
We use high grown teas from the top 3 tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva. These three high-grown districts produce flavorful teas that have classic Ceylon character which is noted by a floral bouquet, touches of mild astringency, and bright coppery color. We buy during peak season to ensure top quality and freshness. We only use natural flavoring on the tea as we do not want to mask the natural taste of high grown black tea (the overpowering and synthetic character of artificial flavoring is often used to hide lower quality tea).
