Our Earl Grey Tea is a Chinese black leaf tea, scented with oil of Bergamot. This celebrated classic was first discovered when a shipment of essential oils and tea accidentally mixed in 1803. Upon arrival at their destination, this combination was an instant success. Bergamot is a fruit and the oil is extracted from the peel giving Earl Grey teas a fruity, light and aromatic flavor. Packaged 25 tea bags per box. Each tea bag has a string & tag and is enclosed in a foil wrapper.
