Tea of the Month



Earl Grey Organic Full-Leaf Ceylon Tea & Bergamot


Our Earl Grey starts with a great quality, organic large leaf, sweet black tea (not "blending teas") from Ceylon (Sri Lanka). We add just a hint of pure bergamot oil to create the famous Earl Grey taste.There are many legends of how Earl Grey came into being. Our favorite is that the Earl had a shipment of tea that also picked up bergamot oranges. Tea absorbs flavors and odors and this shipment did just that. It was a huge success on the market and... a legend was born.
PS--Have you ever tried a London Fog? It is basically a tea latte, or tea misto, made with Earl Grey Tea, milk and vanilla syrup. It is SO good. And always reminds of this time of year, when my sister and I are normally out in the greenhouses sorting through Christmas ornaments, drinking London Fogs to keep warm.
