Earl Grey is a popular variety of black tea flavored with oil of bergamot, a citrus fruit primarily grown in southern Italy. The tea is named after Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the 1830s. The flavor of Earl Grey tea is a unique combination of the rich, malty flavor of black tea with the bright, citrusy notes of bergamot. Earl Grey tea is traditionally served without milk, although some people prefer to add milk or sweeteners such as sugar or honey. It can be enjoyed hot or cold and is a popular choice for tea drinkers looking for a unique and aromatic tea experience.
