    Like other black teas, Earl Grey contains caffeine. For this reason, it’s best to drink it in the morning or early afternoon. If you’d prefer to drink it later in the day, try a decaf blend.

    Earl Grey is usually black tea mixed with other varieties, like green and oolong. What makes it unique is the fact that it's flavored with oil of Bergamot (a type of orange often grown in Italy and France).

    Try an English/rest-of-the-world-style biscuit (cookie), like a malt biscuit or chocolate-coated digestive. Oatmeal-raisin cookies would go well with a London fog too.

    No, Earl Grey tea is not actually grey. The brownish color of the tea differs between Earl Grey Green tea and Earl Grey Black tea. Neither are grey.
