Introduction: Bergamot is a Turkish name given to a pear shaped fruit, 'Citrus Bergamia', popularily used in Earl Grey tea.
Darjeeling Bergamot is a blend of light, crisp, Darjeeling black tea and the essence of Bergamot. Very aromatic, clear and smooth. Refreshing as an iced tea.
Brewing Suggestion
In general, Darjeeling teas are lighter and more delicate than other Indian black teas. Therefore, we recommend using mineral or spring water 180 to 190 F in temperature. The lower temperature water allows for a full bodied brew with a balanced sweetness and astringency. Because of its smaller leaf and astringent qualities, it is also best to use a shorter steeping time than with other Indian Black teas. Three to four minutes is usually sufficient, slightly longer if you wish to use a little milk.
