Bergamot in Earl Grey Tea

I learned something new this weekend.  Earl Grey tea has a citrus flavoring in it called bergamot.  I'd never heard of this before.  It can be extracted as an essential oil and tastes great in the tea...supposed  to build confidence and enhance your mood.  No wonder Jean-Luc Picard always drank it on the Enterprise!  Having some right now.   Delicious.

The bergamot is in the Twinings of London and Bigelow brands of tea.
