A light tea, pale gold in colour with the delicate flavour of the citrus fruit bergamot. Ideal to drink at any time of the day.

The story goes that Earl Grey, the Georgian prime minister, was given cases of this tea by a Chinese Mandarin. He liked it so much he brought it home and asked Twinings to recreate it for him. And that's what we've been doing ever since. Light, fragrant and with a distinctive lemon and bergamot flavour, our Earl Grey still has all the taste of the original. And we like to think it's still the best.
