[mkdf_accordion style=”toggle”][mkdf_accordion_tab title_tag=”h3″ title=”About this Tea”]

This bestselling tea, infused with the subtle citrus-orange flavour of bergamot, has an aristocratic heritage. Named after the late British prime minister from the 1830’s, legend dictates that Earl Grey saved the life of a Chinese official’s son. The Earl was presented with the tea as a gift of gratitude.

The Gibraltar Tea Company uses Chinese black tea leaves and natural bergamot oil pressed from real bergamot citrus fruits, in celebration of this great British hero.
