The Preparation of Earl Grey Green Tea

Measure three teaspoons of Earl Grey green tea. Be careful not to use boiling water to preserve its delicate aromas. Let this fragrant blend steep for three minutes, allowing the characteristic flavors of green tea and bergamot to be released. Enjoy it during the day or evening, appreciating the subtle bitterness of green tea combined with the distinctive citrusy touch of Earl Grey.

The Citrusy Aromas of Earl Grey Green Tea

Earl Grey green tea is distinguished by its unique aromas, harmoniously combining the fresh, vegetal notes of green tea with the citrusy and floral nuances of bergamot. The delicately rolled green tea leaves release a vibrant, herbaceous fragrance when infused. The addition of bergamot essential oil provides a refined citrus touch.
