English tea store's double bergamot earl grey tea is for those who like a stronger taste of citrus. We also offer our standard earl grey with a more subtle citrus flavor. This earl grey tea is a blend of Indian and Ceylon teas. The tea gets its unusual flavor from oil of bergamot. Bergamot is a small acidic orange. The latest research indicates that the bergamot orange is a cross between the sweet or pear lemon (citrus limetta) and the Seville or sour orange (citrus aurantium). The sour orange is native to southern Vietnam, hence the Chinese connection. This tea has a light refreshing taste, and can be served hot with or without milk or sugar. It can be used to make iced tea. Earl grey tea was named after Charles grey, the second earl in his line. He was prime minister to king William iv in the early 19th century. The legend is that the earl was given the recipe by a Chinese mandarin with whom he was friends, and whose life he had saved.
