Product Information

While bergamot tea is generally considered safe for healthy people, there may be some risks associated with overconsumption.

The plant compounds in bergamot may provide a variety of health benefits, but most studies have focused on bergamot essential oil, juice, or supplements instead of tea ( 1). There’s no actual orange in ‘Orange Pekoe’ tea. Instead, the inclusion of orange in the name is likely to do with its Royal Dutch roots. The citrus taste starts to intensify. The colour is a little darker in tone while the tea smell starts to shine.The second time I tried it, it was with about half a cup more of water and it was already a lot better. So I’d recommend making a cup of Tazo Earl Grey tea in your largest mug! As it was less concentrated, it was less bitter right off the bat. You might have noticed that is does contain the most tea per tea bag! Which is the reason for why it’s so much stronger (and got so many more refills out of it!). If you’re looking to find an Earl Grey to drink after hours, this is the tea for! You wouldn’t be able to tell based on the flavour that it’s a decaf tea. It tastes, and smells exactly like any other Earl Grey tea would. The main benefit of using loose leaf tea is that you can adjust the strength of the tea. This one was too weak for me, based on their recommendations, but I can easily steep for longer and add more tea.

The look was actually one of the darkest of the teas, looking quite coffee-esque. So I was quite surprised when I only had 3 good quality refills out of it. I was expecting a lot more based on the dark brown color. One study in mice with colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), found that bergamot juice inhibited the release of inflammatory proteins and reduced diarrhea episodes ( 10). Additionally, tea contains compounds called tannins, which can interfere with the absorption of iron in your body. If you regularly drink tea and are concerned about your iron status, consider drinking it in between meals to promote better iron absorption from food ( 16). How expensive is this tea compared to the others on this list. The most expensive tea will get the least points (1) and the cheapest will get the most (10).

A study in 80 people with high cholesterol levels found that taking bergamot extract every day significantly decreased blood levels of triglycerides and total and LDL (bad) cholesterol after 6 months, compared with baseline values ( 2).
