The East India Company
Founded by Royal Charter in 1600 by Queen Elizabeth I, The East India Company introduced tea to Britain. Today, The Company's fine teas reflect Jonathan Swift's famous remark,
"Tea is water bewitched"
The true origins of Earl Grey tea remained a mystery until researched in The East India Company archives revealed that the use of orange flavourings with tea was first observed in China in 1793 by Sir George Staunton, a company botanist. Bergamot, commonly used in most Earl Grey tea today, is a subspecies of Citrus Aurentium, or Neroli, the original flavour used in China. Sir Joseph Banks, to whom Staunton reported his findings, experimented with the various flavourings, and thus the recipe was devised long before Earl Grey heard of it from Sir Banks, his friend.
The Staunton Earl Grey is a tribute to the man who enabled the western world to experience this fine tea.
