Earl Grey tea is a tea blend with a distinctive flavor and aroma derived from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit.

History

Traditionally the term "Earl Grey" was applied only to black tea; however, today the term is used for other teas that contain oil of bergamot, or a bergamot flavour.

The Earl Grey blend is named after the 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830s and author of the Reform Bill of 1832, who reputedly received a gift, probably a diplomatic perquisite, of tea flavoured with bergamot oil, taken from bergamot, a citrus fruit typical of Southeast Asia and grown commercially in Italy.

Emma S. ★★★★★

I was worried it'd taste like perfume, but the citrus stays balanced with the black tea instead of overpowering it. Two minutes steeped and it's smooth enough to drink without milk.

Joseph ★★★★★

Brewed a cup this afternoon and the citrus kick from the bergamot oil is unmistakable without being sharp. The black tea base holds up well to milk, so it's become my new afternoon staple. Wish the bag had a resealable top, but the flavor makes up for it.

Ruby L. ★★★★★

The moment I opened the bag, that bergamot aroma hit me—so bright and citrusy, exactly what I crave in an afternoon cup. It brews up smooth with no bitterness, even when I forget it's steeping for a minute too long.
