Enjoy the convenience of teabags of our popular Earl Grey, a single-estate Assam black tea from northern India scented with 100% organic bergamot essential oil that has been naturally extracted from the fruit’s rind. The namesake of Charles, England's second Earl Grey, this popular drink—traditionally a blend of strong black tea and bergamot—has been produced since the 1830s.
The material for our teabags is completely plant-derived, and they are electrostatically sealed—without glue or staples—so the pure flavor and aroma of the tea can shine through. Once used, these teabags can be composted at industrial composting facilities. Find a composter near you in this national directory from the U.S. Composting Council.

Who's Earl Grey, anyway?
With its beguiling citrus and floral aroma, Earl Grey has been a favorite of teatime since its invention in the early 1800s. The "Earl" in Earl Grey is indeed an aristocratic title: The tea was named in honor of Charles Grey, who was the prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1830 to 1834.
Tea aside, Grey may be best known for his involvement in the Abolition of Slavery Act of 1833, which made the ownership, sale, and purchase of enslaved people illegal through the British Empire—though notably, the British East India Company and the territories under its control were exempted from this law. How Grey became associated with a bergamot-flavored black tea, however, remains a mystery.
