The Shops at Colonial Williamsburg Earl Grey Colonial Loose Tea Canister

Product Description

These fine teas, specially blended for Colonial Williamsburg, include varieties that delighted colonial tea enthusiasts. In 1768, colonists consumed more than a million pounds of tea. Their willingness to boycott tea in the 1770s is a testament to their passion for revolution. Earl Gray is an early 19th-century blend of fully fermented black teas with a tangy, pungent note introduced by bergamot orange oil. It is especially popular as a breakfast tea. Earl Grey was introduced in England in the early 1800's. It was named after the 2nd Earl Grey, British Prime Minister in the 1830's.
