In 1833, Earl Grey, the Earl of Howick Hall, at that time British Prime Minister, suspended the price monopoly, which the East India Company had over the tea trade with China. The originally pure Chinese tea was lightly flavoured with fine bergamot oil. This citrus plant, which was provided by the Chinese, was intended to protect the tea from the taste of mould and tar, which could arise from the long voyage at sea to royal England. Thus this tea received its name, and, still today, Earl Grey is the embodiment of the finest English tea.

This flavoured black tea is a perfect companion not only in the Christmas season. Its characteristic is its spiciness: a generous portion of sweet apple pieces masterfully rounds off sweet cinnamon bits, spicy coriander, cardamom, cloves and hot, fruity pepper. The scents of juicy oranges and delicate cream complete this unique taste experience.

This creation is just as proud as the volcanic island by the same name. To do this name justice, we have not used one of our standard blends as a base, but composed this creation in a particularly careful manner, clearly evident in the choice of many select local and exotic fruits. It has also been enriched with bright blue and yellow blossoms and ennobled with the finest flavours of southern fruits. Here, sweet and tangy flavours and red and yellow fruits complement one another particularly well. An absolute top seller in our diversified product range.
