Types

• Earl Grey can be made of green, white, black, oolong or herbal (tisane) teas as it is more of a flavor than a specific type of tea. The benefits of drinking Earl Grey tea depends largely on the type of tea or tisane it is based on.

Features

• Earl Grey tea is a mix of tea with oil of bergamot. Bergamot is a small, aromatic orange that is high in antioxidants. It has been used in the past to treat depression, anxiety, fevers and internal parasites, and has disinfectant properties.

Tea

• The tea, if black, green or oolong, has antioxidants; thus, it's good for heart health. Earl Grey has natural fluoride and is good for your teeth. It's soothing, but also has some caffeine, though much less than coffee.
