The story goes that in 1830, Charles Earl Grey, an English diplomat travelled  to China, and as a reward for his act of kindness, a local man presented him with the recipe for making this distinctive tea. As inspiring as it may sound, the story is factually incorrect. Chinese have never been black tea drinkers, and so it was very unlikely that they had  a tea recipe for Earl Grey to bestow on visitors. Also, Charles Earl Grey never set foot in China.
