Whittard of Chelsea Earl Grey Tea 50 Tea Bags 125g
The very essence of British tea drinking…
Whittard’s take on the quintessential British blend of fine Chinese and Ceylon black tea is perfectly balanced with flavours of bergamot.
Renowned for its wonderful bergamot aroma, Earl Grey has become firmly ensconced as an afternoon tea classic. The story goes that the iconic blend was specially created for Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, in reward for saving the son of a Chinese mandarin from drowning. When his supplies of the tea had run out, the earl commissioned British tea blenders to recreate the taste.
As Prime Minister between 1830 and 1834, the very same Earl Grey presided over the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833. Whittard has numbered this tea 33, to mark the date.

A tale of fondness for tea
Pursuing his passion for quality tea and coffee, Walter Whittard opened his first shop in London, in 1886. He gave up on the family business of leather merchant, and set out on a journey to source the finest quality tea, coffee and cocoa from across the globe.
At the age of 25, he established the first shop on Fleet Street. On that specific year, the tea trade boomed and England began importing huge quantities of tea from India, exceeding the tea imports from China.
But what really made the success of the small Fleet Street shop, filled floor to ceiling by the pots of varied loose tea, coffee, cocoa powder, were the exceptional blends crafted by Walter for the pleasure of his clients.
His creations met immediate success and Walter Whittard moved to the famous “Street of Tea” Mincing Lane, vibrant area for the tea trade in London back then. After World War II, the brand was established in Chelsea, hence the name we know of today: “Whittard of Chelsea”.
