Story

Earl Grey tea, named after Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey and former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1830 to 1834, is steeped in mystery and legend. The blend's exact origins and reason for creation remain unclear. One popular legend suggests it was specially blended as a diplomatic gift, while another credits a Chinese mandarin tea master with its creation. According to the Grey family, bergamot was added to offset the lime flavor in the water on Earl Grey’s estate, Howick Hall, near Newcastle, England. Lady Grey, Earl Grey’s wife, loved the tea so much that it became her exclusive choice for entertaining and soon gained popularity in London society.

The legacy of Classic Earl Grey tea lives on as one of the most beloved and iconic tea blends in the world. Its delicate balance of robust black tea and fragrant bergamot continues to enchant tea enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike, embodying the timeless elegance and sophistication of its namesake, the 2nd Earl Grey.

Surprisingly Delicious & Different

The tea tastes Fantastic. It comes in a little brick which you open & then transfer to a little pouch. You know that feeling of delicious micronutrients entering your body? I feel that with every sip. Couldn’t be happier with the bergamot flavor & how it comes together in the perfect cup of Earl Grey. Highly recommend!

Tea Love

I’m so glad I decided to give Teabox teas a try! I’m not going back to grocery store tea…my mouth would revolt! The classic Earl Grey is my favorite way to wake up in the morning, with a gentle kiss of flavor, and the Assam Masala Chai spices up my afternoons. Thank goodness for Teabox!

Earl Grey Darjeeling

I tried an earl grey darjeeling in a sampler pack a couple years ago and I can't find it anywhere else on the site. The bergamot flavor complimented the muscatel profile and was well balanced, but this can easily became astringent.

Earl Grey

I love the scent each time I open the packet to make a fresh pot of tea. The taste is perfect for my liking. Mary

Fresh clean and brisk
