شاي أسود صائم بالبرغموت

I was worried a fasting tea would taste like nothing, but the whole ground bergamot actually comes through — bright and citrusy without any sweetener. It dissolves fast in warm water, no gritty bits at the bottom of the cup. This has quietly replaced my morning coffee.

The ground bergamot from Calabria gives this a genuinely citrusy depth I didn't expect from a black tea. I stir the crystals into 8oz of warm water around 10am and it carries me through till lunch without snacking.

I've been swapping my morning coffee for this during my eating window, and the bergamot comes through so clearly it almost tastes like a proper Earl Grey, just without the milk. The crystals dissolve fast in 8oz of warm water, no gritty bits left at the bottom of the cup.
