Legend links it to Charles Grey , 2nd Earl Grey, who received a tea flavoured with bergamot orange after a diplomatic favour. Though the tale is unverified, it highlights the tea’s elegant origins. Traditionally, black tea leaves from China or Sri Lanka were flavoured with bergamot , a citrus fruit from Italy . Today, the history of Earl Grey tea continues through reinterpretations by modern tea companies, always retaining its signature character.
