A traditional blend of black tea with the essence of aromatic bergamot, Earl Gray is one of the world's most iconic teas. For our Earl Gray Min sing special, we prefer a superior black tea that makes this classic a little more refined.
The name of this tea is typically attributed to Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Gray and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1830 - 1834. Legend has it that he saved the son of a Chinese mandarin and was given the tea as a reward for the heroic deed. According to the "official" account published by Howick Hall, the home of Charles Grey, a Chinese mandarin mixed the tea (which contained bergamot) to disguise the taste of lime in the spring water of the Earl's house; the tea was later served by Lady Gray in London, where it was warmly welcomed.
Today Earl Gray tea is a beloved classic among tea connoisseurs and regular drinkers.
