Some people confuse Blue Flowers Earl Grey with blue tea. This tea is not blue tea. It is made by blending high-quality black tea leaves grown in the Nilgiri region of India with blue mallow flowers and bergamot grown in Italy. It gets its name, Blue Flowers Earl Grey, because the Earl Grey blend uses black tea leaves with strong notes and body, making it a special tea.

The British are not tea producers, but Earl Grey tea spread throughout the world from them. Because India was under their colonial rule, they blended some high-quality teas with bergamot, creating unique blends for the tea market. Unintentionally, they made a significant contribution to tea culture. Customs like tea time and tea with milk originated from them. Earl Grey is sometimes incorrectly spelled as "Early Grey" or "Earl Gray".
