What it is
This is a box of individually wrapped tea bags. Each bag contains a blend of black tea leaves and the oil of bergamot. Bergamot is a citrus fruit that gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive aroma and flavor. The tea is designed to be brewed with hot water to create a fragrant and invigorating beverage.

To prepare a cup of this tea, heat fresh water to a rolling boil. Place one tea bag in your favorite mug. Pour the hot water over the tea bag, ensuring it is fully submerged. Let the tea steep for the recommended time, typically 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Remove the tea bag and discard. You can enjoy the tea as is, or add milk, sugar, honey, or lemon to taste. It can also be cooled and served over ice for a refreshing iced tea.
How it differs from similar foods
Earl Grey tea differs from other black teas due to the addition of bergamot oil. This citrus essence imparts a unique floral and slightly bitter note that is not found in plain black tea. The specific blend of black tea leaves used by Lipton also contributes to its characteristic taste profile.
