Master Blender’s Notes Notes – Fresh, Floral, Sweet Colour – Translucent, Reddish-Brown Steep Time – 3 minutes (Recommended) “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.â€
