earl grey green
A different take on a classic combination: Indian black tea with tangy bergamot flavor. This features a fresh green tea, with a delicious crisp texture which pairs perfectly with the orange rind zestiness of the bergamot. Pleasantly dry finish with lingering citrus sweetness.189 reviews

ingredients & lore
blended with green tea, orange peels, natural bergamot flavor and blue cornflowers
It is said that in 1830, an Englishman named Charles Earl Grey traveled on a diplomatic mission to China, where in return for his act of kindness, a local man presented him with the recipe for making this distinctive tea. A few corrections are in order. Firstly, the Chinese have never been black tea drinkers, and were unlikely to have a recipe for Earl Grey to bestow on visitors. Secondly, Charles Earl Grey never set foot in China. Otherwise, the story is completely true.
