Tea World - Everything you ever need to know about tea! (#)
„There are many authentic and supposed references to tea in the centuries before Christ, according to the Chinese dictionary dated circa 350 AD. The Chinese t'u was often used to describe shrubs other than tea, hence the confusion when Confucius allegedly referred to tea or t'u when writing about the "sow thistle" plant in the Book of Odes. From the earliest times tea was reknowned for its properties as a healthy, refreshing drink. By the third century AD many stories were being told and some written about tea and the benefits of tea drinking, but it was not until the Tang Dynasty (618 AD - 906 AD) that tea became China's national drink and the word ch'a was used to describe tea.“

Amazon.com: Gourmet Food: Twinings Earl Grey Tea, 50 Tea Bags, 3.53 oz
„Earl Grey is my favorite blend of tea by far - no competition there. The biggest secret with this tea once given to 19th century British Prime Minister Earl Grey of Hoswick Hall by a Chinese manadarin, reportedly in gratitude after the earl saved his life, is to get just the right doseage of bergamot oil, a rather intense, tangy scent derived from the bergamot orange (which in turn is a cross between the pear lemon and the sour orange; the latter is native to South Vietnam, and its oil was probably the recipe's original ingredient). Using too much bergamot oil can easily obscure the black tea's natural flavor - but with Twinings you just can't go wrong, because the original Earl Grey turned to none other than company founder Thomas Twining for a match to the quickly dwindling supply he had received from his Chinese friend; and the original recipe is still faithfully adhered to today.“
