The story usually told is that a chest of tea scented with bergamot was given to the 2nd Earl Grey, a British prime minister, and that his household liked it enough to keep asking for more. The Grey family have said, more or less, that they don't know either. What isn't in dispute is the smell. Bergamot is a small, knobbled citrus grown along one narrow strip of coast in southern Italy, and its oil is nothing like lemon or orange — sharper, greener, faintly bitter, closer to perfume than to fruit. A spoonful of leaves, water just off the boil, four minutes. The steam comes up and the whole room changes. Five hours of café jazz for a grey afternoon and a long book. 🫖 ───────────────── 🍽 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 — 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝘆 Earl Grey is black tea scented with oil pressed from the peel of the bergamot orange. The bergamot grows almost nowhere else: a narrow coastal band in Calabria, at the southern tip of Italy, produces the overwhelming majority of the world's supply. It is grown for its skin rather than its juice, which is far too sour to drink on its own. The tea takes its name from Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, British prime minister from 1830 to 1834 — though how the blend actually reached him is undocumented, and every version of the story is contested. The base is usually a Chinese or Ceylon black tea, and the oil is added to the dried leaf, which is why the aroma arrives a moment before the taste does. In Britain it is drunk without milk more often than most black teas: bergamot and dairy don't flatter each other. ───────────────── 🎧 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (loops through the day) 00:00 Earl Grey Bossa 03:10 Earl Grey Ballad 06:33 Earl Grey Swing 09:41 Earl Grey Waltz 12:46 Earl Grey Duo 16:26 Earl Grey Samba 19:58 Earl Grey Lounge 23:21 Earl Grey Vibes …and the playlist keeps flowing. ───────────────── ✨🏠 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗮𝘇𝘇 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 One flavor a day, served with jazz.
