Tetley - Earl Grey 50 Bags - 125g

Product Information

Some variations of the tea are made from the wild herb bee balm, which is known scientifically as Monarda didyma. This herb smells similar to bergamot and has been used medicinally by Native Americans for centuries. These polyphenols act as antioxidants, which fight reactive molecules called free radicals that can cause cell damage and disease ( 3). When I did the second taste test, I wanted to see how many times I could refill my mug using the same teabag. The number represents how many cups I was able to get out of one tea bag. Of course, thisis correlatedwith the strength of the tea as well. The more refills,typically, the stronger the tea. To do this, I followed the rules for Grandpa style tea, where I drink 3/4 of the cup and then refill it with water. My mug holds about a cup and a half of water. Based on these results, drinking bergamot tea may benefit your heart health. Still, more studies are needed. May aid digestion

They use the carbon dioxide decaffeinationmethod (yes, this is the same method that’s used to make our favourite sodas bubbly!). This method removes97 to 98% of the caffeine, which means you can now enjoy your favourite tea blend all night long!Bergamot tea’s high concentration of many different types of antioxidants may make it especially beneficial to your health ( 4). May boost heart health Taste: 3.5/5 This is a strong cup of tea, hindering on the bitter side. It drastically changes as you water it down. Similar to Tazo Earl Grey tea though, it got better after more refills, possibly being too strong for its own good. Like Twinings, it’s okay to leave the bag in. It’s a little stronger than Twinings, but still perfectly drinkable. Unlike Ahmad Tea’s Earl Grey which coats the mouth.

If you think this has anything to do with the colour or flavour of the tea, though, you’d be wrong.
