Origin
Blend
A refreshing blend of organic green tea and Bergamot. The Earl Grey blend is named after Charles the 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830s. According to one legend, a Chinese Mandarin official presented Grey with the blend in gratitude for saving his son.
Calabria Bergamot
Reggio di Calabria in Southern Italy is the native growing area for ‘Citrus Bergamia’ Bergamot. We use a steam distilled Bergamot oil with the organic green tea.
Pairing
Green Earl Grey pairs especially well with breakfast breads, rice desserts, dark chocolate and slightly spicy foods.
Flavor Profile
Very aromatic, citrus notes, crisp flavor.
The Tao of Tea
Like the Tao, the art of tea is universal. We began our work serving as a connecting thread for tea culture in 1997. Practicing this art on a daily basis in our teahouses in Portland, Oregon, we are a group of tea enthusiasts from different backgrounds and cultures. We travel, learn, take delight and seek to offer pure leaf teas with great flavor, artistry and soul.
Brew one teaspoons of leaf in eight ounces of filtered water at 175ºF for four minutes. Provides at least two infusions.
Organic green tea leaves, organic bergamot essence.
