Earl Grey Tea at Tea-Direct – Distinctive, Aromatic and Refreshing

Earl Grey tea, with its distinctive bergamot flavour, is one of the most popular tea blends in the world, enjoyed for its delicious fruity and citrus taste and unique aromas.

Traditionally made as a blend of Chinese black tea, Earl Grey tea gets its wonderful flavour and aroma from the addition of oil of bergamot, extracted from the rinds of bergamot oranges. This citrus fruit, a cross between a lemon, lime and a bitter orange, is grown commercially in Calabria, Italy. Although its taste is quite acidic, it complements the full-bodied flavour of black tea perfectly, as well as green, white, oolong and rooibos varieties, providing a fresh, citrusy scent with sweet, floral and spicy notes.

Earl Grey tea is often enjoyed black, but it may be taken with a little milk, and the addition of sugar, honey or lemon if desired. And if you fancy something cooler, a refreshing iced Earl Grey tea or cold-brewed Earl Grey tea are delightful alternatives.
