History
To be or not to be thanks to Mr Charles Grey, the enigmatic origins of earl grey tea are intertwined with the legacy of the British Prime Minister back in 1830. Renowned for his advocacy for the abolition of slavery, Earl Grey's association with this iconic tea remains a subject of speculation. While the true paternity of Earl Grey tea eludes a definitive answer, its composition is rooted in a Chinese red tea base infused with bergamot peel. Alternatively, modern variations may utilise bergamot essential oils to achieve the desired flavour profile. Given its mysterious lineage, Earl Grey tea holds a significant place in the hierarchy of brewed beverages. Positioned in the brewery after jasmine tea, Earl Grey's historical significance in the context of European popularisation underscores its cultural and culinary importance.
Design
Inspired by one of Brindi’s ribbitting frog themed tattoo flash, mixed with a cheeky nod to the English mischief nickname ‘frog’ for the French; we hopped on board faster than a frog chasing flies to portrayed Earl Grey as a vibrant and spirited bergamot, being eagerly shedding its peel in a burst of juicy exuberance.
