Earl
Aristo type who would have been called a Count (like in the rest of Europe), except the Normans were worried about a disturbingly-similar but strangely-less-flattering Saxon word.

Earl Grey
Earl Grey tea is a black tea blend, which gets its flavor from bergamot oil. This popular tea blend is named after Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, who reputedly received a gift, probably a diplomatic perquisite, of tea that was flavored with bergamot oil. Bergamot is a fragrant citrus plant, used for the oil in its rind rather than for the flesh of the fruit. The legend usually involves a grateful Chinese mandarin, but this blend of tea was first made from fermented black Indian and “Ceylon” (Sri Lankan) teas, though over the years many other varieties have been used.

“I like nothing better than a steaming hot mouthful of Earl Grey in the morning.... And a cup of tea is nice as well.” 😊
