The Origins of Earl Grey Tea
The story of Earl Grey tea dates back to the 19th century and is traditionally associated with Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, a British prime minister whose name became attached to the now-famous blend. What makes Earl Grey distinctive is the addition of bergamot, a fragrant citrus fruit whose essential oil is infused into black tea leaves. The result is a tea with delicate citrus, floral, and tea notes layered together—creating the signature bergamot flavor that makes Earl Grey so recognizable.
