What is the last name of the British P.M. of the 1800s who received a gift of tea flavored with bergamot oil and the variety of which is now named after him?
"He reputedly received a gift, probably a diplomatic perquisite, of tea flavoured with bergamot oil. According to one legend, a grateful Chinese mandarin whose son was rescued from drowning by one of Lord Grey's men first presented the blend to the Earl in 1803. The tale appears to be apocryphal, as Lord Grey never set foot in China and the use of bergamot oil to scent tea was then unknown in China. However, this tale is subsequently told (and slightly corrected) on the Twinings website, as ""having been presented by an envoy on his return from China"". Jacksons of Piccadilly"

According to the Grey family, the tea was specially blended by a Chinese mandarin-speaking individual for Lord Grey, to suit the water at Howick Hall, the family seat in Northumberland, using bergamot in particular to offset the preponderance of lime in the local water.
