Bergamot Tea 200g - Large!

I mistakenly expected the bergamot peel/tea to smell and taste like bergamot oil, and was planning on adding it to black tea to create an earl grey flavour. It is very bitter and does not smell or taste like bergamot or citrus whatsoever. Unfortunately I really dislike bitter flavours so won't be using the bergamot peel/tea.

Bergamot Tea 50g - Small

I received the tea in good time. I put enough in to make a litre liquid. Steep for about 5 minutes and then cool. I put a couple of drops of stevia in and refridgerate. Very refreshing on a hot day.

I added some bergamot peel to a black tea recently & it was a really subtle added flavour that was quite smooth & delicious. It's much more subtle & yummy than Earl Grey tea!

Are your teas certified organic?

Up until recently we were certified organic but due to rising administration costs and the difficulty of maintaining certification we've put this on hold for now. Our suppliers and farms remain the same without any change but just now label things are organic, pesticide free or wildcrafted.

This also allows us to maintain our current pricing without any increases which we feel is more important at this time.
