The orange citrus flavor provi9de by the bergamot oil provides a refreshing tea that is far brighter and more tart than other classic black teas.

Earl Grey is one of the most popular and well-known teas in the west. Earl Grey tea is name after the second Earl Charles Grey of Britain in the early 1830s, who is traditionally credited with creating this blend of tea himself before he became Prime Minister (those drinking Earl Grey tea might recall that Prime Minister Earl Grey is perhaps best known for abolishing slavery in the British Empire a generation before the American Civil War).

Mighty Leaf Tea was born for the sole purpose of infusing life into an ancient indulgence by creating tea products that reach new heights of quality and innovation.

The genesis of Mighty Leaf Tea came in 1996 as a result of a shared passion and dream envisioned by husband-and-wife team Gary Shinner and Jill Portman when they founded their teahouse on Fillmore St. in San Francisco. Their passion is for creating the most incredible handcrafted tea blends found anywhere, globally sourcing the finest ingredients available. Paralleling the highest standards of quality at Mighty Leaf Tea is ongoing creative innovation. Our specially created handcrafted Tea Pouches are designed to unleash the essence of the quality that is Mighty Leaf Tea. Supporting our quality and innovation is our promise to deliver the highest level of customer service excellence in serving you the finest tea products available.

Mighty Leaf Tea is now available in a number of locations including retail outlets, many hotels and fancy restaurants. While it wasn’t the partners’ first intent to enter the retail market, the constant requests for a take home version of their unique product created a demand. In fact, their introduction into the retail market helped sales increase from 10% to 23% within one year. From the tea selection to the silky wrapping to the tea top lid, Mighty Leaf Tea delivers a delicious cup of tea.
