Black Tea Earl Grey 250g

Black Earl Grey - a fresh classicA black tea flavoured with the fruity oil of bergamot. This citrus fruit, originally from Asia, gives the tea a fresh and lemony note. Legend has it that a ship carrying Chinese tea on its way to England was caught in a storm. The loaded crates fell into disarray and were partly damaged. This is how bergamot oil got into parts of the black tea being carried. The aristocratic politician Earl Grey is said to have felt sorry for the supposedly spoiled tea and tasted it. Lo and behold, the combination of a quality black tea and the oil of bergamot remains a worldwide classic to this day.Black tea, natural flavour.
