Strong enough for an Earl but refined enough for his Lady, this connoisseur-grade Earl Grey blends Ceylon India and China estate teas with just a hint of Bergamot. Perhaps one of the world's most famous scented teas, Earl Grey was named for Charles the 2nd Earl of Grey who was Britian's Prime Minister from 1830-1834. On a trip to China in 1830, he was presented with a fragrant gift of tea by the Mandarin court.
