Stash The Earl Grey Tea
What it is
This is a classic black tea blend infused with the distinct aroma and flavor of bergamot oil. Bergamot is a fragrant citrus fruit, and its essence gives Earl Grey its signature floral and slightly citrusy notes. The tea itself is typically a robust black tea, providing a solid base for the aromatic additions. It is a popular choice for tea drinkers seeking a sophisticated and refreshing beverage.
How people cook with it

To prepare, heat fresh, cold water to a rolling boil. Place one tea bag or one teaspoon of loose leaf tea per cup in your mug or teapot. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Remove the tea bag or strain the leaves. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and serve over ice with your preferred additions.
