Versailles Lavender Earl Grey - 125g

Versailles Lavender Earl Grey Tea is a luxurious French twist on a classic English favourite. This aromatic black tea combines the signature citrusy notes of bergamot with the delicate floral essence of French Provence blue lavender, creating a uniquely elegant and refined infusion. Made with high-grown Ceylon Orange Pekoe, it offers a smooth, full-bodied flavour that evokes the grandeur of Versailles’ palace halls and its famed gardens.

While traditional Earl Grey usually features Chinese black tea, its true origins remain a mystery. Some speculate that tea leaves were first scented with bergamot oil to prevent mould during long sea voyages. A popular, though likely apocryphal, tale tells of Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, saving a boy in China and receiving bergamot-scented tea in gratitude. Another story credits Lady Mary Elizabeth Grey with popularising the tea at social gatherings, prompting London merchants to recreate her favourite blend.

Versailles Lavender Earl Grey marries history, luxury, and floral elegance in every cup.
