Delicious plain, this tea may also be served with sugar and milk. Plus it makes a wonderful, refreshing iced tea.
Story has it that in 1830 Englishman Charles Earl Grey (the second Earl Grey, 1764-1845) was on a diplomatic mission to China, when a mandarin presented him with the recipe for making this distinctive tea. Now it is the most famous flavored tea in the Western world. Earl Grey is a black tea flavored with bergamot, an oil extracted from a pear-shaped Mediterranean citrus fruit about the size of an orange.
Ingredients: naturally decaffeinated blended black teas, bergamot extract
