As the name suggests, black tea with bergamot is a combination of black tea and bergamot fruit extract. Often believed to be a hybrid of lemon and orange, bergamot is a pear-shaped citrus fruit that is well-known for its medicinal properties. With counterbalancing the bitter taste of plain black tea, the addition of bergamot extract makes the tea good for weight loss and oral health as well as making it a good stress reviler.
