Description
Earl Grey Classic
Our Earl Grey Classic sets tea and bergamot in perfect balance with one another. The citrus never overwhelms the tea, and vice versa. If you want a smooth and complex standalone cuppa, steep for 3 minutes; if you like milk and sweetener, try a 4-minute steep.
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.
This famous blend is named after Charles Grey, a British prime minister in the 1830s. Some stories say he received the flavored tea as a gift. Others say he rescued a Chinese Mandarin from drowning—even though Charles never traveled to China. Tea lore also claims the bergamot was added to make the tea taste more like a top-notch cultivar.
Lake Missoula Tea Company served Earl Grey Classic at its grand opening in 2012! If you want to reminisce about the old days, and see our former retail space, check out this blog post. Those were the days…

This is my favorite tea. I have been drinking it for about two years. This is the best Earl Grey I have ever had. I am an avid tea drinker in my 60s. I am not a coffee drinker at all. I first tasted Lake Missoula Earl Grey tea at a little store in Lewistown, MT. The store has a mural of fish on the wall, I think trout. They had great cinnamon rolls too. I bought some of the Earl Grey from that little store and have been buying Lake Missoula tea ever since. I also like the Earl Grey Red.
