Contrary to popular belief, Earl Grey is not a particular type of tea, but rather a plain black tea infused with oil of bergamot. It is a British tea and is the most popular tea of the western world. This tea dates back to the 19th century, and is named after the 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830s. According to legend, a grateful Chinese bureaucrat, whose son was saved from drowning by one of Lord Grey’s men first presented the tea to the Earl in 1803. However, according to Jacksons of Piccadilly, a London tea house, claims to have invented the original recipe for Earl Grey tea after given a special order from Lord Grey.
