Our Earl Grey Classic gives two old friends opportunity to shine – citrus and delicious tea. This cup offers you vibrant, bold notes.

Earl Grey, the world’s most popular tea blend, requires only two ingredients: black tea and bergamot. This Mediterranean citrus thrives in only a few regions of the world, but ever since it hooked up with Earl Grey, it has landed teacups in every corner of the globe.

Famously named after Charles Grey, a British prime minister in the 1830s. According to lore, the flavored tea was a gift. Others say he rescued a Chinese Mandarin from drowning—even though Charles never traveled to China. Others claim the bergamot was added to mimic a top-notch cultivar.

Lake Missoula Tea Company served Earl Grey Classic at its grand opening in 2012! Go ahead, reminisce about the old days, and check out our former retail space. Those were the days…

A made in Montana tea.

Victoria ★★★★★

Brewed a pot for afternoon tea and the bold citrus note hits right away without turning bitter, even after a few minutes in the cup. It's become my go-to when I need something vibrant but still comforting.

Hazel L. ★★★★★

The citrus really pops in this one — bold and bright without drowning out the tea itself. I've been brewing it strong in the morning and the vibrancy carries through even after it cools a bit. Exactly what I wanted from a classic Earl Grey.

Alexander ★★★★☆

The citrus really comes through clearly on the first sip, bright and lively without overpowering the tea underneath. I’ve had it black and with a splash of milk and both ways it holds its bold character nicely. Only wish the bag came with a bit more in the tin for the price.
