I am a tea drinker and Herb grower
I have been guilty of misleading people about the tea Earl grey because of one of the ingredients in the tea is Bergamont
The bergamont in the tea is not beebalm / monarda
The bergamont in the tea is an orange , and the oil from the rind is what is used in the tea.
This is my small way to try to correct the misinformation I have been part of .
This seems to be a very popular misconception that I have read over and over in blogs and other places on the net.
Who knew there was a bergamont orange
