This tea is named after Count (Earl) Charles Grey (1764–1845). Legend has it that during a trade trip to Asia this tea was offered to Earl Grey.

You can also make delicious and simple iced tea from Earl Gray: 6 -7 teaspoons of Earl Gray in 1 liter (34 fl oz) of cold water. Then let it rest overnight in the refrigerator. The next day you can sift out the leaves and drink! Also delicious with honey or some orange slices ...
The Earl Grey Bio tea has a refined and balanced taste, with the perfect balance between the sweetness of black tea and the subtle citrus flavors of bergamot. The aroma is subtle and inviting, making you want to take a sip. The taste is not too strong or spicy, but rather refined and balanced. The organic tea adds an extra dimension to the taste, giving you a pure and natural taste experience.
The strength of the Earl Grey Bio tea depends on the brewing time and the amount of tea used. When you brew the tea for longer than the recommended time of 3-4 minutes, the taste can become stronger and more intense. It's important not to let the tea steep for too long to prevent the taste from becoming too bitter. For the optimal taste experience, we recommend using 2 grams of tea per 200 ml of water and steeping it for 3-4 minutes at a temperature of 95 degrees Celsius.

I put it to the test with a delicious piece of old Cantal cheese, brought from the beautiful Auvergne in France. Cantal cheese has a strong taste. Spicy, slightly salty and with full tones in which a creamy, almost vanilla-like hint can be detected. Curious how it tastes in combination with an Oolong from Tanzania?
