Our Earl Grey Imperial tea is an elegant tea with a little extra bergamot, as compared to a regular Earl Grey tea. So it is an absolute must for those who just need a little bit 'extra' in their Earl Grey. A particular blend of four teas from China and India flavored with the natural oil of Bergamot. This fine afternoon tea was originally commissioned for British Prime Minister, Earl Grey. Ingredients: Black teas, Oolong Tea, Natural Oil of Bergamot. Brewing Instructions: Steep in Boiling water for 5 minutesIn 1660, the 17th-century diarist Samuel Pepys had his first ever 'Cupp of Tee, a China drink', then only introduced to Britain. Catherine of Braganza, Charles II's tea-drinking queen, made it fashionable. Queen Anne would often enjoy a cup of tea at Hampton Court Palace and the double wedding of Queen Charlotte's sons at Kew in 1818 was celebrated with a tea party. Until the abolition of import duties in 1784, tea was the expensive preserve of royalty and the rich. Despite its ubiquity in later times, tea is a truly historic, royal tipple.
