Earl Grey All Day

 

Earl Grey tea is a well-known and refreshing black tea blended with oil from the rind of the orange-like bergamot fruit. The tea is highly aromatic and the perfect accompaniment with afternoon tea. Traditionally made with Chinese black tea, Earl Grey is also now produced using teas from other parts of the world, including green teas.

Earl Grey is most widely defined as a flavoured black tea, and there is no 'one' way to brew Earl Grey tea, which is why every Earl Grey tea you've ever tried has probably tasted slightly different.  Once the tea leaves have dried, the tea is either flavoured or scented with flowers, spices or herbs or sprayed with essential oils or extracts.
