Earl Grey Tea Caddy Whole Leaf

A classic English tea and the most famous of the flavoured teas, Earl Grey is a blend of fine hand-plucked whole leaf black Keemum and Darjeeling teas with all natural citrus oil extracted from the rind of the Bergamot, a pear-shaped citrus fruit grown in Italy.  Legend has it the tea is named after Earl Grey, the prime minister of Britain in 1830, after receiving the recipe as a gift of gratitude for saving the life of a mandarin while touring China. Earl Grey was then reputed to have the tea recreated for him in London and the taste became fashionable, eventually spreading worldwide.

This tea produces rich coloured liquor with a delightful citrus aroma and flavour.  This delicious, aromatic tea is best served black and sweetened to taste. Enjoy at any time of day.  Its refreshing taste is well suited to cakes and pastries.  Best served without milk and sweetened to taste.

The elegant black and gold tin is a beautiful way to
display your tea and provides maximum protection of
flavour and aroma.
