BACKGROUND Legend has it that Earl Grey tea made its way into history through the family of Charles Grey, a British Prime Minister in the 1830s. Some say that this custom-made, exclusive flavor blend was a gift from a Chinese man to Earl Grey for saving his son; some maintain that it was a diplomatic gift to Earl Grey from the Chinese mandarin. It’s hard to know for sure what actually happened – but what we do know is that this tea has been extremely popular in Great Britain since the beginning of the 19th Century.
