Earl Grey tea is a kind of tea that has a flavour and smell that comes from bergamot orange, a citrus fruit.[1] The tea was named after Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, a British prime minister from the 1830s.[2]
The name "Earl Grey" only used to be given to black tea, but now the name is used for other teas that have oil of bergamot, or a bergamot flavour. Twinings, a British tea company, uses a portrait of Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey on its Earl Grey package.[3]
