About Earl Grey Tea Bags

This is one of the most popular and beloved types of flavoured Black Tea in the world. It is perhaps best known for its exceptional flavour, which has a distinct citrusy note with malty undertones.

The origins of the infusion, on the other hand, are largely unknown. One theory is that people added bergamot to preserve Tea leaves during long journeys overseas. There is also a fascinating legend associated with it. 

The story goes that the 19th-century Earl and later British Prime Minister Charles Grey (1764-1845) travelled to China on a diplomatic mission. He subsequently saved a boy from drowning in a river, returning the child to his father, who, overcome with gratitude, gifted Grey with Black Tea scented with bergamot.

It took on his name thereafter - or so the tale goes, as no such trip ever happened! 

Caffeine in Earl Grey Tea Bags

Mysterious though its history might be, what we do know is the amount of caffeine in Earl Grey Tea Bags. This stimulant exists in every Tea variety from the Camellia sinensis (Tea) plant, including Black, Green, White and Oolong.

The difference between each one is the processing at the factory, whereby Earl Grey Tea is the most processed and, therefore, has 45-mg of caffeine per 8-oz cup.
