Grey's Mixture - Earl Grey | Black Tea Blend | Sense + SensibiliTea
Earl Grey comes from a criminal and sordid past. The first known appearance came in the 1830s when two tea merchants sued one another over the rights to sell this new tea blend. It was being sold as an expensive Chinese tea but was in fact a forgery. The flavour came from the addition of Bergamot and a number of other ingredients added to lower-quality tea. These merchants succeeded in getting this tea banned, but it was not long before it reappeared under the name Grey's Mixture, and eventually Earl Grey.

Grey's Mixture | Black Tea Blend | Sense + SensibiliTea
Sense and SensibiliTea are the tea creations of Wanda and Andrew Aulenback. Their company started from humble roots. It began in a make shift 18th century tea parlour. Having hosted many fully costumed period teas, Wanda decided to take the next step, and begin research to make sure the teas she was serving were accurate to the various time periods they were playing in. So began Sense and SensibiliTea.
