A Revered Classic in Its Purest Form!

Imperial Earl Grey is a combination of Bergamot oil infused in black tea which is a citrus fruit. It is a cross breed of lemon and orange tree resulting in a shape that resembles more like a pear and is a light shade of green to yellow (depending on the ripeness).

Let’s know more about Bergamot and its history in European culture.

The rind of Bergamot is used as an essential oil in the perfume industry as well. Bergamot is mostly grown in the Province of south Italy- Reggio DI Calabria and is usually harvested in the month of November.

Bergamot is taken from the Turkish word: beg-armudi, which means it’s a Pear of the Lord. It is quite a respectable attribute for citrus fruit and it has been used immensely in scenting the tea as well as its use in the cosmetic industry due to the presence of essential oils.

Used in Swedish Tobacco (Snus- Smokeless tobacco flavoured with the citrus of bergamot) as a fragrant additive, Europe is no stranger to the many benefits of bergamot. It was used by elite class people in Europe to suppress body odour.

Bergamot was extracted manually in the 17th century by the sponge method (Squeezing) but in 1840, Nicola Barilla and Luigi Auteri invented the Calabrian machine which had much more yield than the conventional method of extracting the oil. It is quite an expensive affair to extract the oil as 200 Kg of bergamot is required to make a litre of essential oil.
