According to legend, Charles Grey was the man who introduced us to Earl Grey tea. A big thank you would appear to be in order as Earl Grey is one of the most popular tea varieties in the west. But, do we actually know what it is we are drinking when ordering a cup of “Earl”?
There are many different leg ends about how this berga mot-flavoured tea came into being. For example, there is one version claiming that the tea is from China. Fo Shou is a pricey, slightly oxidised oolong originating from the Yongchun county in the province of Fujian. The tea variety would be naturally blessed with a bergamot aroma. No addi tives, just the way it is. And yet there are tea sommeliers all over the world who doubt this statement because they think that Fo Shou oolong has more of a pear aroma than a berga mot aroma. And pear and ber gamot are far from the same.
A third and last explanation regarding the origin of Earl Grey, is that the tea variety was named after a tea dealer with the surname Grey, where the addition of “earl” was supposed to make the tea sound more chic. William Grey of the same name tea warehouse, William Grey & Co, appears to be the most plausible candidate.
Charles Grey, the British prime minister Far more likely and widely ac cepted is the legend in which Charles Grey plays the lead ing role. He was the British prime minister from 1830 on wards and the author of the 1832 Reform Act that ended the monopoly position of the British East India Company with regards to the import of tea. This resulted in a price drop making tea more popu lar with the entire population. Charles Grey himself became acquainted with “Earl Grey” when a diplomat gifted him a box of tea flavoured with ber gamot oil.
The tea dealer
Text Richard Schukkink, ITC Academy
Tea mystery Ultimately, William Grey & Co disappeared and around 1880 Charlton & Co, a company from London, claimed to be the “in ventor” of this flavoured tea via various advertisements. A melange that, in those days, exactly,what, is earltea?grey
There can, however, be no doubt about the characteristic addition of bergamot oil to Earl Grey tea. The bergamot fruit – also referred to as citrus ber gamia – is a small, yellow-green citrus fruit. It is a cross be tween the citrus limetta (sweet lime) and citrus aurantium (bitter orange), ensuring not just a citrussy flavour, but also a flowery and spicy aroma. Originally, the bergamot fruit could only be found in South China and Vietnam. Today, ber gamot is grown on a large scale in France, Turkey and the Ivory Coast, with the South Italian province of Calabria providing 80% of the worldwide produc tion. The bergamot trees can reach a height of twelve metres although they are often pruned back to five metres at planta tions to make picking easier. It takes about seven years be fore the first fruits appear and no less than twelve to fifteen years to achieve a full harvest. Bergamot oil is a fairly pricey product, which is why the aroma has been synthetical ly copied for many years. The advantage being that the somewhat bitter aftertaste of bergamot can be removed in the laboratory. The tea with synthetic bergamot oil isn’t only cheaper, but also stable. Where organic tea varieties are concerned, the addition of a synthetic aroma is not permit ted. The packaging will then feature the words; natural aro mas. However, this doesn’t au tomatically mean that the Earl Grey tea contains real berga mot oil. It merely indicates that a “natural” product was used. Which product exactly, is a secret the producers of these aromas are very good at keep ing. What, exactly, is Earl Grey tea? Earl Grey is not a registered trade name. This means that everyone can decide for them selves which ingredients they wish to add to the tea. Where in the old days they mainly used Chinese black tea, such as smoked lapsang souchong, as a basis, today we see many tea varieties from different countries. The most traditional producers opt for black Ceylon tea from Sri Lanka, while many other brands prefer a cheaper tea from African countries. Making Earl Grey tea Earl Grey tea is tradition ally made with water of 100°C where the tea is left to steep for at least 5 minutes. Sometimes a slice of lemon or lime is served with the tea. Most Dutch consider this far too strong and the combination of a high water temperature and long steeping time makes the tea far too bitter. For a less bit ter taste it is recommended to shorten the steeping time to 2 to 3 minutes and to reduce the water temperature to 8090°C.
Bredemeijer Group l 9 cost about five shillings and four pence a pound. The inven torship is again disputed at the start of the twentieth century by the companies Twinings of London and Jacksons of Piccadilly. Twinings of London – the internationally known tea label with three hundred years of expertise – was supported in this respect by Earl Grey VI (1939). His signature still adorns the Earl Grey packag ing of Twinings. Yet, there still isn’t any hard proof that one of these two companies had any thing to do with the origin of the tea causing history to re main an intriguing tea mystery.

Ethiopia is regarded as the country of origin of coffee. According to popular legend, the coffee plant was discovered about 300 years AD by an observant goatherd. This goatherd noticed that, after eating specific berries, his goats became extremely lively. He mentioned this to the abbot of a nearby monastery who started experimenting with the berries. The pouring of boiling water onto it resulted in a stimulating drink; coffee was born.
It didn’t take long for coffee not only becoming a drink to stay awake, it also became a trade item and a means of bringing people together. In order to honour this holy product, the Ethiopians engaged in a coffee ceremony that, in this day and age, is still a sign of hospitality, friendship and respect. Have you been given the opportuni ty to attend such a ceremony? Go for it!
Preparation The coffee ceremony is per formed by the lady or the daughter of the house who will be dressed in traditional Ethiopian clothing. The guests are seated around the cof fee preparation area which will be sprinkled with fresh grass and possibly even flow ers for decoration purposes. The hostess sets out all that is necessary and burns some in cense, the fragrance of which will mix with the aroma of coffee in honour of God. She will then take her place on a three-legged wooden stool, called a berchuma. In front of her is a table of about the same height as the stool, with on it a tray with porcelain cups, better known as Cini cups

Serving the coffee is an art with a capital A. The coffee is poured into the cups from a substantial height without any spillage whatsoever. Three rounds The ceremony consists of three rounds during which snacks, such as popcorn or traditional bread, are served. The first round is called abol, and during this round the cof fee served is at its most con centrated. Out of respect, the first coffee is served to the older or important persons. Tona is the name of the second round, and the third is called baraka. As new water is con tinuously added to the origi nal coffee, the drink becomes less strong with each round.

Brewing pot After roasting, the beans are ground into a powder in a heavy, wooden bowl, a type of mortar. The powder is then put into the jebena, a brewing pot to which boiling water is added and which is placed on the charcoal stove for as long as it takes the coffee grounds to settle on the bottom and the coffee to have become sufficiently strong.

When Dick Bruna first started drawing the bunny he wasn’t sure whether it was going to be a boy or a girl. She eventually became a girl because Dick Bruna enjoyed drawing dresses more than trousers. Miffy is most well-known in Japan There is no other country in which Miffy is as well-known as in Japan. Besides countless fashion lines that feature the bunny and collections of fluffy stuffed Miffy’s there are even Miffy cafés. The bunny is root ed so deep in Japanese culture that she is even used for gov ernmental campaigns. Most Japanese people believe that Miffy is from Japan and do not know that she comes from the Netherlands!

how to take the perfect picture
When you start photograph ing people it is important that they feel good. Have them wear clothes they feel comfortable in. Keep in mind though that the colours of the clothes must not clash with each other. Too many colours and prints combined can give a messy impression. Choose a backdrop that suits the participants and the col ours of their clothing well and arrange for sufficient light. There is usually sufficient light

GOLD makes for a great combination with almost all colours. Combine it with dark blue, for a chic look. Other colours that combine perfectly with gold are shades of green and natural colours. A frame that will definitely pass muster.
And once the photos are ready? Put the best one in a frame. What’s also great fun is to photograph each family member separately and frame their pictures. Arrange all the frames playfully on a wall and, hey presto, the best collage ever.
