This original proprietary blend created at Simpson & Vail by Mr. Vail and J. P. Morgan boasts a unique blend of Earl Grey, Lapsang Souchong and other "hugger mugger" teas.

Correspondence at the Morgan Library in New York City shows the association between J.P. Morgan and Mr. Vail. Back in the early years of the company, these esteemed gentlemen created a most distinctive tea blend for Mr. Morgan's signature tea.

The original formula of Mr. Vail and J.P. Morgan is still used today in creating their unique blend of Earl Grey. The mellow smokiness of this blend is definitely an acquired taste!
