Purists won't consider this a "real" Earl Grey, but you just might like the combination of dried fruit, hibiscus, lavender, orange peel, lemon myrtle, lime, and bergamot flavoring.

Black tea is fully oxidized, removing all green color from the original leaves. This is sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as “fermenting.” (If you want real fermented tea, see our Pu-erh teas).
After oxidation, the tea is generally stronger and higher in caffeine than white, green, or oolong tea. It also has a longer shelf life.
The main defining characteristic of Earl Grey tea is bergamot. Earl Grey is typically made from black tea, but can be produced from any base variety of tea.
