Earl Grey Tea

Store tea in an airtight container away from light, moisture, and strong odors to preserve its flavor and aroma.

Use fresh, cold water for the best flavor. Avoid re-boiling water, as it can reduce the oxygen content and make the tea taste flat.

Steep tea bags or loose leaves for the recommended time (usually 3-5 minutes) to avoid bitterness.

Experiment with adding a slice of lemon or a drop of honey to complement the bergamot flavor.
