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.

A colourful selection of delicious fruits and berries from the garden has been lovingly brought together in our basket to create a very special fruit tea blend for our especially ambitious customers. The rich and berry-like taste of this creation is pleasantly fruity and immediately reminds you of the freshly squeezed juice of red fruits. Correspondingly, we have ennobled the sweet and juicy strawberry and raspberry flavours with a nuance of mild, tangy rhubarb flavour. This unforgotten old love offers us a great and unrivalled taste each time.

"You are my sunshine...!" The favourite citrus fruit works its magic once again all year round and brightens up the grey skies around you. A real classic: fruity, nippy, juicy and orange-sweet! Enjoy it warm or served on ice and let all your sorrows be swept away!
