History
Earl Grey is one of the most popular scented teas in the west. Earl Grey tea is named after the second Earl Charles Grey of Britain (1764-1845), who in the early 1830s, according to legend, received the scented tea from a Chinese Mandarin court trying to influence diplomatic relations.
Based on an ancient recipe, the black tea blended with the citrusy Bergamot peel, proved so popular with the Prime Minister and his cabinet that he requested Twinings in Strand, powerful British Tea Merchants at the time, to replicate the sample. Twinings went on to sell the first Earl's Grey Tea to the English public. Prime Minister Earl Grey is perhaps best known for abolishing slavery in the British Empire a generation before the American Civil War.

Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
Water
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boiling water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
Fire 1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
