Paying homage to Earl Grey Tea, we knew this incredible flavor needed a home in our bitters lineup. Earl Grey Tea is a black tea that is flavored with oil from the rind of bergamot orange. Instead of using Chinese Tea Leaves we have opted for the American Native tea, Yaupon which grows prolifically here in Florida. We have partnered with a local company, Yaupon Brothers who grow native organic Yaupon hollys. Yaupon doesn’t offer any harsh of bitter tannins so it doesn’t require sweeteners like traditional tea. The true history of Earl Grey Tea is muddy but what we do know, is it is a staple flavor for many tea drinkers. This bergamot forward bitters can really liven up some classic and light and crisp drinks alike.
