Tazo Earl Grey includes some of the world's most sought-after teas, grown in the high-elevation gardens of Sri Lanka and northeast India. Following the original recipe, we add the essence of bergamot, a citrus fruit with subtle lemon and spicy lavender notes. We think the aromatic result would have curled the Earl's stiff upper lip into a smile.

While on a diplomatic mission for the King, Earl Charles Grey was given a gift from a Chinese mandarin: The tea recipe that would thereafter bear his name.

The Way of Tazo: Only the finest leaves were used in this tea. Those that didn't make the cut were composted and wished "better luck next time" as they returned to earth.

Tazo happens when one combines amazingly flavorful teas with a fertile imagination and some other good things from nature.
