Earl Grey Tea
Earl Grey is a popular black tea blend distinctively flavored with bergamot oil from a citrus fruit called the bergamot orange (pictured, right). It is named after Charles Grey, British Prime Minister (1830-1834) who supposedly received the tea as a gift. Jacksons of Piccadilly claim to have first commercially produced the “real” Earl Grey tea, though this claim is contested. Earl Grey tea is often made with a slightly smoky black tea as a base, though recently green, white and oolong Earl Grey blends have become commercially available.

Stephen's review: "An Earl Grey whose bergamot flavoring is included almost as an afterthought... smoky and earthy, with a hint of an almost butterscotch-like aftertaste, this blend is actually pretty good despite its somewhat unorthodox taste." Read review » |
