{"product_id":"bergamot-rose","title":"Bergamot Rose","description":"\u003ch3\u003eEarl Grey with the rose top note that completes it.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal cold-pressed oil from the rind of Italian Bergamot, organic rose petals, and an organic, malt-forward black tea base from northern Thailand. The rose softens the citrus. The citrus sharpens the rose. Both ride a biscuit-warm tea base that holds up to milk. The cup tastes naturally creamy before you add anything to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the pairing works.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBergamot and rose share chemistry. Both contain geraniol and citronellol as aromatic compounds, the molecules that give each ingredient part of its character. Bergamot is citrusy and slightly bitter; rose is floral and slightly sweet. In the cup, the shared compounds knit the two together, and the different ones balance each other. The same logic explains why rose and Bergamot have been paired in fine perfumery since the 1800s, when French and British perfumers used the combination as a heart-note bridge. The chemistry holds in tea the same way it holds in cologne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe latte ritual.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea was built for milk. Brew it strong (1 heaping teaspoon for 4 to 5 minutes), then top with steamed oat or whole milk and a drop of vanilla. The milk fat rounds the Bergamot, the vanilla bridges the floral notes into something close to dessert. Best in a wide cup on a slow afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yerba Buena Tea Co.","offers":[{"title":"Tea Tin","offer_id":47256234066242,"sku":"SQ7258223","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tea Refill","offer_id":47256234099010,"sku":"SQ7258224","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/0862\/4962\/files\/bergamot-rose-loose-leaf-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779850968","url":"https:\/\/ybtco.mom\/products\/bergamot-rose","provider":"Yerba Buena Tea Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
