While Earl Grey tea itself does not have specific herbal benefits unique to the bergamot flavoring, the consumption of black tea, which is the base of Earl Grey, may help improve alertness due to its caffeine content. However, there is no conclusive evidence of any health effects specific to Earl Grey tea. The caffeine in black tea may interfere with the intended therapeutic effects of various prescription drugs.
Earl Grey tea is traditionally flavored with the oil of bergamot, which was initially used to enhance the taste of low-quality teas. The earliest reference to tea flavored with bergamot dates back to 1824, but it was not associated with Earl Grey at that time. The name "Earl Grey" is believed to be derived from Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, who was the British Prime Minister in the 1830s. However, this association is not definitively proven. Historically, bergamot was used to misrepresent tea as a superior product, leading to charges against companies in 1837 for secretly adding bergamot to their teas.
