Lady Grey

In 1833, Earl Grey, the Earl of Howick Hall, then the British Prime Minister, suspended the price monopoly that the East India Company had on the tea trade with China. The originally pure Chinese tea was lightly flavored with the fine oil of the bergamot fruit. This extra scent, provided by the Chinese, was intended to protect the tea from the taste of mold and tar that might develop during the long sea journey to royal England. That's how this tea got its name, and Earl Gray is still the embodiment of the best English tea. A must for every good tea range!
