The unusual flavoring that makes Earl Grey so special is the oil of bergamot. Bergamot comes from the Turkish word for "prince's pear" and describes a pear shaped citrus that is grown around the Mediterranean. The oil is pressed from the rind and is used for perfume as well as Earl Grey tea. We take the concentration of this exotic flavor and blend it with mild teas of China and Sri Lanka.

This gourmet black tea is in loose leaf form and will require a tea infuser or tea filter when brewing. This can be purchased separately here.
