Earl Grey Teas
The most ordered black tea by name in the Adagio catalog - Earl Grey in its multiple expressions covers every variation on the bergamot-scented black tea that has been the defining afternoon tea in the English-speaking world since the 19th century. Named for Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey and British Prime Minister, who received the blend as a diplomatic gift in the 1830s, Earl Grey has since become the most recognizable flavored tea in the world.
- Earl Grey Bravo (scored 95, from 15¢/cup) - bold, assertive bergamot over a strong black tea base. For anyone who wants their Earl Grey to announce itself from the moment hot water hits the leaves.
- Earl Grey Moonlight (scored 96) - a softer, creamier interpretation of Earl Grey with a floral dimension that rounds the bergamot's citrus edge. The Earl Grey for afternoon rather than morning.
- Earl Grey Bella Luna (scored 96) - a refined, floral Earl Grey with a delicate bergamot character that suits the most discerning Earl Grey drinkers. One of the consistently highest-rated teas in the collection.
- Earl Grey Lavender (scored 95) - bergamot and lavender together - the classic combination that turns Earl Grey into something more botanical and more aromatic than either ingredient achieves alone.
