One of the most sought after of the black tea blends, Earl Grey is made with a mild tasting tea leaf and scented with the natural oil extracted from the Bergamot plant, which is similar to an orange and produces a smooth yet zesty citrus flavor. While the light citrus notes of the bergamot plant are well-suited to scenting tea if you notice a “soapy” taste you have simply used too much. Also available in decaf.
