As grand as the name might suggest, Versailles Lavender Earl Grey Tea is a French take on an English classic. This scented Black Tea not only offers trademark citrusy flavours brought out from the essence of bergamot, but also boasts a wonderfully floral taste of French Provence Blue Lavender. A truly special blend consisting of high-grown Ceylon Orange Pekoe, Versailles Lavender Earl Grey Tea will transport you to the lavish banquet halls and vast, beautiful drawing rooms of the renowned French Palace known throughout the world.Traditional Earl Grey is usually made with Chinese Black Tea as opposed to Ceylon Tea. In fact, China is largely thought to be the home of Earl Grey Tea, not England. Like many teas to originate from China, Earl Grey has mysterious origins. Historians believe that black tea leaves were first scented with bergamot oil to prevent mould during transit out to sea. Other than that, the history of this famous brew can only be speculated.One legend referring to the naming of Earl Grey suggests that the 19th Century British Prime Minister of the same name travelled to China during a diplomatic mission. While there, Charles Grey, the Second Earl Grey, saved a boy from drowning in a river. Overcome with gratitude, the boy’s father later gifted Lord Grey with tea leaves scented with bergamot oil. It was eventually named in his honour, or at least according to this tale. We say this because Earl Grey (the man, not the tea!) made no known trip to China in his life, and as a result, this story is almost certainly false! In truth, the origins of Earl Grey Tea and its name remain elusive.
