Origin & Craft
The belief in doing things well has persevered at Tregothnan; the estate has stayed within the same family since 1335.
At the heart of the estate is the private walled Botanic Garden.Tregothnan is passionate about growing and collecting plants, including many rare specimens, and this passion is the inspiration for cultivating the first ever English estate tea.
Seven years of trials have been undertaken to achieve this tea, one that really deserves every accolade. It's one of the best Earl Greys we have encountered.
The rare english tea leaves are blended with some of the finest Assam and flavoured with real bergamot oil, Citrus bergamia.
