Earl Grey is a popular flavored tea that is traditionally made from black tea infused with oil from the rind of the Bergamot orange, a citrus fruit. This unique combination gives Earl Grey its distinctive aroma and flavor, which is both floral and citrusy. The tea can be enjoyed on its own or with milk, lemon, or sweeteners, depending on personal preference. The origins of Earl Grey tea are often attributed to the 2nd Earl Grey, a British Prime Minister in the 1830s. According to legend, he received a gift of tea flavored with Bergamot from a Chinese diplomat, which inspired the blend that bears his name. Today, Earl Grey is enjoyed worldwide and is available in various forms, including loose leaf and tea bags.
