The namesake of Charles, England’s second Earl Grey, this tea traditionally a blend of strong black tea and bergamot has been produced since the early 1800s.
Our version starts with a single-estate organic Assam from northern India, which is scented only with pure bergamot oil that has been naturally extracted from the fruit’s rind. The full citrus notes are balanced enough with the rich black tea base so that it can enjoyed plain, or with milk and a sweetener.
