Earl Grey

Earl Grey, a great classic among English teas

Recognizable by its delicate scent of bergamot, a citrus fruit at the crossroads between lime and bitter orange,Traditional Earl Grey tea is served with a black tea base, which is made from oxidized Camellia sinensis leaves.

Although native to England, Earl Grey is the subject of various legends. The most popular associates the birth of this bergamot-flavored tea with the family of the British Earl Charles Grey (1764-1845), “Earl Grey” being the translation of “Count Grey.” The story goes that a servant of the Greys was inspired to dip a slice of bergamot into the tea served to his masters, unwittingly creating what would become one of the most renowned flavored teas in the West.

The essential Earl Grey tea now exists in different forms, to the delight of fans of green and white tea. Sometimes floral, like the French Earl Grey enhanced with rose petals, sometimes tangy, like the Lady Earl Grey enhanced with orange and lemon zest, Earl Grey now finds its place among all tea drinkers without exception. Let yourself be won over by its irresistible freshness, for cups of tea that are resolutely vitamin-packed.
