Earl Grey flavored broken black tea is a processed tea made from a combination of high-quality "broken" black tea leaves with natural bergamot peel essential oil. Unlike loose leaf tea, the smaller, broken particles of this tea allow its aroma and flavor to be released more quickly and intensely in boiling water, resulting in a thick, rich, and aromatic brew in a short time. The unique, citrusy aroma of bergamot, which is the main characteristic of Earl Grey tea, along with the tart and refreshing taste of black tea, creates a pleasant and energizing experience for the consumer. This tea is often offered in bulk or in teabags and is considered an ideal choice for parties and leisure time as a hot or cold drink (iced tea).
