Earl Grey Tea

Do you like Earl Grey tea? It has a very unusual and strong flavor due to the addition of bergamot oil. I love most teas, but I really didn't used to like Earl Grey, not even the smell. However, a Japanese beverage company came out with Earl Grey soy milk tea in bottles, and I found it wasn't so bad. Now I occasionally make Earl Grey tea with honey and soy milk, and it's quite nice, not for every day, but occasionally. Lady Grey tea is a milder form of Earl Grey, and I can drink that black. I especially like it when I have a cold or sore throat because of the citrus flavor.

I do like Earl Grey tea and I love the one with the bergamot, but can no longer drink it Denise due to bladder problem. I think the tea that agrees with me most is called Red Rose Tea..it is mild and also they always have a porcelain collectible statue in the box I have never seen the Earl Grey soy here. I hope you are doing alright my friend.

@petatonicsca Earl Grey is my beverage of choice, without milk or sugar. I find Lady Grey a bit too fruity.
