About Earl Grey Tea
- Story has it that in 1830 Englishman Charles Earl Grey (the second Earl
Grey, 1764-1845) was on a diplomatic mission to China, when a Mandarin
presented him with the recipe for making this distinctive tea. Now it is
the most famous flavored tea in the Western world. (Continued below)
Earl Grey is one of our most
popular teas. It is a black tea flavored with bergamot, an oil extracted
from a pear-shaped Mediterranean citrus fruit about the size of an orange.
While other citrus fruits
are grown in many countries, bergamot is cultivated exclusively in a
narrow strip of coastal land in the Reggio Calabria province of Southern
Italy. Bergamot or “Citrus Bergamia Risso”, also called the "prince's
pear", is inedible, but its precious and fragrant oil is an ingredient in
both perfumes and food products.
Bergamot is hand-picked in
winter when the fruit is not yet quite ripe. The bergamot essence is
extracted by a cold-pressed method using special "peeling" machines. The
fragrant cold-pressed oil is then stored in special containers for a year
or longer before sale.
