Did you know? Earl Grey tea was supposedly invented around 1830 for Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey and British prime minister. A Chinese dignitary supposedly gifted him the bergamot addition. The family itself denied the story in 1894 — but the name stuck and so did the flavour.

Earl Grey-thee zou rond 1830 zijn uitgevonden voor Charles Grey, de 2e Earl Grey en Britse premier. Een Chinese dignataris zou de bergamot-toevoeging hebben geschonken. De familie ontkende dit verhaal in 1894 zelf — maar de naam stak en de smaak bleef.
