About Bergamot

Bergamot is a fragrant citrus fruit, primarily grown in the sunny regions of Southern Italy. The plant, scientifically known as Citrus bergamia, produces a fruit that resembles a small orange or lime, but with a yellow-green hue.

This unique citrus variety is renowned for its aromatic qualities and is a key ingredient in the production of Earl Grey tea, giving the tea its distinctive floral notes.

Besides its culinary uses, bergamot oil is extracted from the peel and widely utilized in perfumery, aromatherapy, and traditional medicine. It has properties that can uplift mood and reduce stress, making it a popular choice for essential oils. The fruit also boasts anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to its use in natural skincare products. With its versatility and rich history, bergamot continues to be a cherished component in various cultures and industries.

Flowers,
fine delicate, ephemeral.
Subjected to deluge and hale
and still surviving.
Such refined things
are the anchor of my life
in stormy times.


Henry Jackson Turnbull (1939-)
