Whittard Earl Grey Tea 50 Bags 125g

The essence of British tea drinking is beautifully captured in our interpretation of the classic Earl Grey blend. This splendid tea harmoniously combines the rich flavors of fine Chinese and Ceylon black tea, perfectly balanced with the zesty notes of citrusy bergamot. To add a touch of sophistication to this already delightful brew, we've included a charming sprinkle of blue cornflower petals, resulting in an elegant finishing touch.

Earl Grey, recognized for its captivating bergamot fragrance, has earned its place as a beloved staple of afternoon tea. According to legend, this distinguished blend was initially crafted for Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, as a token of appreciation for his courageous act of saving a Chinese mandarin's son from drowning. Once the earl's personal stock of tea was depleted, he sought the expertise of British tea blenders to replicate the unique flavor profile that he had come to cherish. Several decades later, Walter Whittard introduced his own signature version of this blend, revolutionizing the tea auction scene.

As you take a sip, you’ll discover why this tea has captured the hearts of so many.
