Earl Grey Green

Description

Green tea from China with the taste of bergamot. Just the right touch of citrus flavors to liven up the cup. Makes a light and refreshing drink that's popular both hot and iced. If you are new to green tea, this lightly flavored tea may be a good place to start.

Story

It is said that in 1830, an Englishman named Charles Earl Grey traveled on a diplomatic mission to China, where in return for his act of kindness, a local man presented him with the recipe for making this distinctive tea. A few corrections are in order. Firstly, the Chinese have never been black tea drinkers, and were unlikely to have a recipe for Earl Grey to bestow on visitors. Secondly, Charles Earl Grey never set foot in China. Otherwise, the story is completely true.

"I absolutely loved this tea. I actually prefer this instead of the Earl Grey Bravo tea that Adagio offers. I will definitely be ordering more =]"

"I enjoy Earl Gray Bravo and I'm usually more partial to greens than to blacks. This is a nice, light flavor combination that is quite tasty first thing in the morning or as an afternoon indulgence. I will probably get another sampler again just to add into the rotation."

"A great twist to the original! I normally drink regular earl grey with cream and sugar but this needs neither. Smooth and comforting all on its own. A new favorite. Good morning or night!"

"FANTASTIC! It was everything I was hoping for and more! I love earl grey, but sometimes I just need something a little lighter"
