The Quick Sip
Organic Black Tea Supreme – that is, more flavour. Our blend of fine Organic China Black tea has a fragrant citrus aroma and wonderful complexity. It gets its well balanced taste from a judicious scenting with natural oil of bergamot. This may well be the finest tasting organic Earl Grey available. Contrary to popular myth, the recipe for this style of tea was never confided to Baron Charles Grey by a grateful Mandarin.

Tea Tales
Earl Grey is named after the British Prime Minister, Baron Charles Grey. Legend has it, that while on a diplomatic mission to China a Mandarin confided the recipe to him, after the Baron saved his son's life. Like many wonderful stories, this simply isn't true. More likely, the oil of bergamot, from a pear shaped variety of citrus fruit (citrus bergamia) was brought over to England by British naval officers stationed in Mediterranean island of Corfu and came to be in the Earl's tea by a much less adventurous process. Earl Grey initially blended black Darjeeling or China tea, though green teas are commonly used these days as well.
