Earl Grey tea has a long history dating back to the 1800’s and is said to be named after Charles Grey, the second Earl Grey, Prime Minister in the 1830’s. According to legend he receive the flavored tea as a gift from a Chinese man whose son was saved by one of Lord Grey’s men though he appears to have never actually visited.
