Earl Grey Black Tea

What is Earl Grey Black Tea?

Earl Grey is a black tea that has bergamot oil added to it. Bergamot oil comes from a Mediterranean citrus fruit that looks like a lime and is about the size of an orange. Earl Grey makes a beautiful brown cup of tea with a unique taste and a light scent. Earl Grey is a flexible tea that tastes best after dinner or in the afternoon. It tastes great on its own, but you can also serve it with sugar and milk. Plus, it makes a great iced tea that is very relaxing. Stash's Earl Grey is made with the best black tea. We want our tea to have a unique taste that isn't overpowered by the tangy citrus, so we only use 100% pure bergamot oil and not a mix. The story goes that in 1830, Charles Earl Grey (the second Earl Grey, who lived from 1764 to 1845) was in China on an official trip when a minister gave him the recipe for this unique tea. It is now the most well-known scented tea in the West.

Earl Grey tea has antioxidants that help keep the heart healthy and stop major heart problems like heart attacks and high blood pressure from happening. These vitamins help get rid of the plaque that builds up in the heart and blood vessels. They also work to stop the harm that reactive stress does to cells.

◉ Energy Booster: Earl Grey, like any other cup of tea, gives you an energy boost like coffee, but without as many side effects. Tea contains less caffeine than coffee, and the amino acid L-theanine, which is only present in tea, lessens the effects of caffeine. Without compromising caffeine's ability to increase alertness, L-theanine has a calming effect that counteracts the jitteriness it causes.

◉ Boosts Metabolism: Earl Grey Tea tastes good on its own, so you don't need to add milk or sugar to enjoy it. But that's not all! Citrus has been thought to help people lose weight for a long time, and when mixed with the polyphenols in tea, it will speed up the process. Try adding a lemon to your next cup of Earl Grey to make it taste better and help your body.

◉ Beneficial for Teeth: Earl Grey tea has a strong antioxidant called catechin, which helps prevent mouth diseases, especially around the teeth, and fights tooth decay.
