This orange-flavored tea originated in China and was first observed by Sir George Staunton of the East India Company in 1793. It was originally flavored by Neroli Oil, which is produced from the essence of Chinese Bitter Orange Flowers. Today, most Earl Grey teas get their orange flavor from Bergamot Oil, which is made from a plant that is not even indigenous to China. East India's Earl Grey harkens back to the original by reintroducing Neroli Oil to 20th Century tea lovers. Contains 20 tea bags.

Comments about East India Tea Company - Earl Grey:
East India Company?s Staunton definitely packs a whollop! Hold on tight if you are used to average Earls. Twinning?s, Stash, Double Bergamot and other known popular brands of the west country in America cannot truly stand in the shadow of this tea. It does take a little getting used to if you?ve been drinking other brands, but this stellar tea is well worth taking the time.
