Best Answer

The essential oil of Bergamot (a citrus fruit) was originally added to China Black tea and sold under the name of Earl Grey Tea for generations. In recent years any number of black tea blends have been substituted for the China Black, as long as the bergamot scent is added it may now be called Earl Grey.
