« Back | EARL GREY

Charles Grey, born 250 years ago on 13 March 1764 may have been Prime Minister of the United Kingdom when slavery was abolished across the British Empire, but for some tea lovers his political career pales into insignificance when they learn that Earl Grey tea is said to be named after him. We're celebrating 250 years of Earl Grey with a cuppa and this selection of tea-related images.

What better to accompany a cup of char than a slice of cake? See our selection of bakers and pastry cooks here
