Earl Grey tea

Earl Grey tea is an aromatic variety of black tea infused with bergamot oil, a citrus fruit that gives it its distinctive and refreshing flavor. This tea is characterized by its floral and slightly citrusy aroma, making it ideal both for drinking on its own and for use in dessert and beverage recipes.

Its origin dates back to the 19th century in England, where it became popular thanks to Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, who, according to tradition, received this blend as a diplomatic gift. Since then, Earl Grey tea has become an international classic and a staple in tea culture.

Among its properties, Earl Grey tea provides natural antioxidants from the black tea, which help combat cellular damage and improve concentration. Furthermore, bergamot oil contains compounds that can aid digestion and provide relaxing effects.

Regarding synonyms or names used in different regions of Latin America, it is generally known simply as Earl Grey tea. However, in some places, it may be referred to as black tea with bergamot or bergamot-flavored tea, although the term "Earl Grey" is the most common in the culinary and gastronomic fields.
