FAQs

What does bergamot taste like?

It is a citrus fruit, close to a floral, slightly bitter orange. It sits on top of the black tea rather than sweetening it.

Does it work with milk?

Yes. Milk softens the citrus and brings out the malt. Lemon is the alternative if you like it tangy.

Can I use it for iced tea?

It chills well. Brew strong, cool, then serve over ice with a lemon slice.
