• Earl Grey tea was named after Charles Grey, the second earl in his line. He was Prime Minister to King William IV in the early 19th century. It is said that the Earl was given the recipe by a Chinese mandarin with whom he was friends, and whose life he had saved.
• Earl Grey Tea gets its flavours from the oil, which is extracted from the rind of the small acidic Bergamot orange. The Bergamot tree can be found in Calabria in the south of Italy. This is where the majority of the world's bergamot oil comes from
• Different versions of Earl Grey exist depending on what type of base tea is used and what type of bergamot oil is used. Our Earl Grey Tea is made using a blend of Chinese Black, Assam and Nilgiri teas with the addition of blue cornflower petals.
• Made from fine black teas and natural flavourings and hand-crafted by us in Edinburgh.
• Earl Grey can be enjoyed black, with a slice of lemon or with milk.
• Our Earl Grey Tea is packed by hand in Edinburgh using infinitely recyclable aluminium caddies with a plastic free inner or resealable stand-up pouches

I had Pekoe over the summer on vacation in Edinburgh and I simply cannot find a better blend anywhere.
United KingdomDon't stop making this. I have it every afternoon just after work. It's a great cup to relax with.
United Kingdom United KingdomI’m now a regular user of the loose leaf Earl Grey tea and the Duchess grey. The pyramid tea bags are loved by friends and family alike. I always bought my tea from London but it’s good to support a local business. If you haven’t tried Pekoe, then do so and you won’t be disappointed.
Earl Grey tea is my favourite, and this blend in particular is divine. The exact right amount of bergamot makes it a delicious, fragrant tea.
