Information
Traditionally Earl Grey was a blend of Chinese and Indian teas scented with the oil from the citrus fruit bergamot - a sort of orange. The stories of Earl Grey are numerous. One such tale tells how a British diplomat on a mission to China saved the life of a Mandarin and as a gift of gratitude was given the recipe for this flavoured tea. This diplomat upon his return to Britain presented the tea to the Prime Minister of the day, Earl Grey. Another story says that it was the Prime Minister himself who saved the life of the Mandarin. In any event it was the Prime Minister of England (1830 to 1834) Earl Grey who made this tea fashionable. Lavender Earl Grey is a sophisticated variant of the original.
Some people enjoy this tea with a little milk or coconut milk.

Delicious Verified Purchase
A wonderful change to Earl Grey, when I fancy a more delicate flavour. The lavender compliments the bergamot perfectly, and is just delicious

Wonderful Earl Grey
My favourite EG blend . Flavoursome and balanced . Great any time of day

Lovely!
You can really taste the Lavender, it gives a nice floral note and makes the tea almost creamy, surprisingly delicious!

The nicest earl grey I’ve ever had
Be warned - this tea is highly addictive and you probably won’t want to drink anything else ever again. Can’t recommend it enough
