In 1833, Earl Grey, the Earl of Howick Hall, at that time British Prime Minister, suspended the price monopoly, which the East India Company had over the tea trade with China. The originally pure Chinese tea was lightly flavoured with fine bergamot oil. This citrus plant, which was provided by the Chinese, was intended to protect the tea from the taste of mould and tar, which could arise from the long voyage at sea to royal England. Thus this tea received its name, and, still today, Earl Grey is the embodiment of the finest English tea.
In memory of his prematurely deceased daughter Margaret, who had loved this garden very much, the proprietor Mr. Bagdon gave her name to the plantation in the early 1930s. Plants of the Chinese type Thea Sinensis are almost exclusively cultivated on this plantation. The slow growth of the shrubs at the cool, higher altitudes of the Himalaya forms the basis for high-grade and fully aromatic qualities! A crisp, fully aromatic tea from the beginning of the second flush period with a full amber-coloured cup. The bouquet is aromatic, spicy and a bit sweet.
For all those among the tea drinkers who still do not think our English Blend # 22637, for example, is strong enough. Select broken teas from Assam and the African continent form the basis for an extremely yielding quality, which is strongly reminiscent of East Frisian blends. It presents a marvellously dark infusion with a malty spiciness, which is at its best when slightly sweetened with a dash of milk or cream.
Ever since the Middle Ages, the number seven has been the numeric symbol for perfection and completeness in the world; God created heaven and earth in seven days! Royal ingredients and their noble, blazing colours, enrich this select blend of finest black and green teas. The full, fruity, sweet flavours from a rich and colourful fruit basket, worthy of an emperor, offer a great perfection of taste. A simply divine blend with lots of admirers!
Fruity, fresh lemon grass and spicy ginger match perfectly and liquorice root contributes the extra touch of finesse. This herb tea is not spicy, but is given a natural sweetness by the added liquorice. This very attractive blend combines the Indian teachings and the European idea of wellness perfectly. An absolute delight served chilled!
