The Tao of Tea, Certified Organic Black Tea and Bergamot, Earl Grey, 3.5 oz (100 g)

Origin

Blend, The Tao of Tea Earl Grey is probably the most well-known tea in the West and perhaps the first scented tea. Its popularity parallels that of Jasmine tea in China, and Chai in India. This is a handcrafted blend of certified organic black tea and organic Bergamot Essence.

Organic Black Tea

We choose a fine grade of organic Assam black tea with a full-bodied, smooth and rich flavor.

Calabria Bergamot

Reggio di Calabria in Southern Italy is the native growing area for Bergamot, or Citrus Bergamia. This area is known for producing the essential oil popularly used to make Earl Grey tea. The oil is also widely used for aromatherapy treatments and is known to have antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties. We use a refined steam-distilled essence of organic bergamot for this tea.

Flavor Profile

Full-bodied and smooth with a fresh, citrusy, slightly floral aroma.

Use one teaspoon of leaf in eight ounces of non-chlorinated water at 180ºF for three minutes.
