Earl Grey Tea
Earl Grey Tea is shipped pure and straight from Ceylon. It is a combination of premium black tea from Ceylon flavored with the oil of bergamot, a citrus fruit. DRUERA teas are packed within days of harvest and shipped straight from Ceylon.
We only offer pure and straight natural products from Ceylon to guarantee their freshness. The blend of Earl Grey Tea is named after the 2nd Earl Grey, who reputedly received a gift of tea flavored with bergamot oil.
The legend usually involves a grateful Chinese Mandarin whose son was rescued from drowning by one of Lord Grey's men, although this tea blend was first made from fermented black "Ceylonese" (Sri Lankan) teas.
A few corrections are in order. Firstly, the Chinese have never been black tea drinkers and were unlikely to have a recipe for Earl Grey to bestow on visitors. Secondly, Charles Earl Grey never set foot in China. Otherwise, the story is completely true. Earl Grey tea is bright, tart, and refreshing, unlike other black teas—the perfect afternoon tea.
