Awaken your senses with a more intense version of this classic tea. Individual tea bags sealed for freshness. The Twinings of London® StoryIn 1706, Thomas Twining began selling fine tea from an English storefront in The Strand, London. Today, Twinings continues to sell some of the world's best teas from the original store and in more than 100 countries throughout the world. "Twinings has been blending my family tea for years. Legend has it that my ancestor, the second Earl Grey, was presented with this exquisite recipe by an envoy on his return from China. He liked it so much, he asked Richard Twining to recreate it for him. Generations of my family have enjoyed Earl Grey tea and today, I am proud to continue this tradition with the tea celebrated throughout the world known as Twinings Earl Grey." —At Twinings, we've been blending Earl Grey tea for nearly two centuries. But, sometimes, a little change can be good. That's why we are excited to bring you Extra Bold Earl Grey - a modern twist to a classic tea. Starting with our original Earl Grey tea, we added more of its exquisite flavour to create a mouthwatering tea with a rich, vibrant taste. Rupert Byerley - Master Blender. Ethical Tea Partnership
