Hi Mags,
There are hundreds of Earl Grey teas (all with bergomot oil). The one I am
most familiar with is Jacksons of Piccadilly.
One similarity is that they are both "black" teas, but EG is usually a China
Tea and EBT is usually Indian (+Kenyan).
The active agent mentioned in the article is "polyphenols" (which is probably
tannin in the case of tea), and given that EBT has a lot more astringent
taste than EG it may well contain more polphenols.
My cuppa in the morning is so strong that if I tip it on my white shirt it
takes a couple of washes to get it out. Just think what its doing to my
insides - still, probably the same colour as my lungs, since my breakfast
accompaniment to a cuppa is a small cigar!!!
Cheers
Deri
