Earl Grey Green

Description

Green tea from China with the robust flavors of bergamot. Makes a light and refreshing drink that's popular both hot and iced. If you are new to green tea, this flavored tea may be a good place to start.

Story

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 mandarin 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.

"It's okay. For some reason, it tastes a tad musty to me, and I definitely prefer the citron green tea. Bt it's not actually bad, just not all that good."

"Great color, vivid citrus aroma, nice sharp taste. Close to a traditional earl grey black, but without the smoky taste."

"This tea is a favorite of my husband and I. Adagio's Earl Grey is perfect. Not too bitter or floral like some Earl Greys can be! And the Earl Grey Green is no different. It has a full delicious flavor and resteeps well. This is definitely a regular on our tea lineup."

"I love earl grey black so I wanted to try earl grey green and I think I like the green better! It has the same wonderful flavor but with the lightness of the green. It is a must try!!"
