Earl Grey history and origin
Dating back to 19th century England, the origins of Earl Grey are shrouded in legend and mystery. Charles Grey, 2nd Earl and British Prime Minister, is often associated with its creation. Whatever the history or origin of the recipe, the essential oil of bergamot is at its heart.
Bergamot: the secret of the recipe
Bergamot, the fruit of the bergamot tree grown mainly in Italy, offers a beautiful range of fruity flavors, between the tart notes of lime and the bitter notes of sour orange. The essential oil, blended with black tea, creates a perfect balance between the tannins of tea and the bright, sparkling notes of citrus.
