Earl Grey
Earl Grey is certainly one of the world's best known teas, where the highest-quality black China teas are blended with Bergamot oil to create a delicate, aromatic and tantalisingly refreshing tea.
An interesting fact, Bergamot is a citrus fruit that grows in Italy and the oil extract is used in aromatherapy to treat depression.
To Brew
Put one teaspoon of Earl Grey tea per person in a warmed pot, then add fresh boiling water. Allow to brew for 4 minutes, then strain into cups or mugs. Earl Grey can be enjoyed with or without milk. Purists would prefer it without, perhaps adding a slice of orange or lemon, which do both seem to go very well with the Bergamot.
