What is Earl Grey?

Earl Grey tea is primarily a blend of black teas enhanced with the oil of bergamot, a citrus fruit resembling an orange but closer in flavor to a lemon, which gives it that unique floral and citrusy aroma.

Are there different types of Earl Grey?

Yes, at Spice Pilgrim, we explore various adaptations of this classic tea:

• Classic Earl Grey: Stays true to the traditional recipe with a black tea base and bergamot.
• Earl Grey Lavender: Adds a soothing floral twist with hints of lavender.
• Lemon Earl Grey: Incorporates additional citrus peels for a zesty flavor.
• Rose Earl Grey: The floral aroma of rose petals is the perfect complement to the full-bodied citrus bergamot flavor of a traditional Earl Grey. 

How do you make Earl Grey blend?

To create an Earl Grey blend, black tea leaves are infused with bergamot oil. This process varies slightly depending on the additional flavors being included, such as Rose petals, Lavender, or extra citrus, to create unique variations.

What blends well with Earl Grey?

Earl Grey is versatile and pairs well with a variety of flavors including vanilla, which softens its robust edges, or citrus elements that enhance its bright notes. Floral herbs like lavender can also complement the bergamot's floral characteristics.

Are you supposed to put milk in Earl Grey?

Yes, you can enjoy Earl Grey with milk, which softens its robust citrus flavors, although many purists prefer it black to fully appreciate the bergamot's fragrance.

Why is Earl Grey tea so good?

Earl Grey has a distinct flavor profile that balances the deep, rich notes of black tea with the bright, aromatic qualities of bergamot oil. This makes it both refreshing and comforting, ideal for any time of day.

Who should not take citrus bergamot?

Individuals on certain medications, particularly those affecting cholesterol, should avoid citrus bergamot as it can interact with these drugs. Always consult with a healthcare provider if unsure.
