{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_FEg_Y8a5","product_name":"Earl Grey","category":"Black Tea","description":"The Earl Grey for people who want the real thing.\nReal cold-pressed oil from the rind of Italian Bergamot, blended into an organic, malt-forward black tea base from northern Thailand. The flavor reads as fresh orange peel, sharp and clean, over a biscuit-warm body. Bright up front. Round on the finish. It holds its own in a cup, and it holds up to milk.\n\nWhy the oil matters.\nBergamot grows in commercial volume in one place: the coastal strip of Calabria, at the toe of Italy. About 90% of the world's Bergamot comes from this region. The fruit ripens between December and March. The oil gets cold-pressed from the rind, never heated, so the aromatic compounds stay intact. It takes roughly 200 kilograms of fruit to yield 1 kilogram of oil. That craft is the reason real Bergamot smells like the actual fruit. Synthetic Bergamot, which most supermarket Earl Greys lean on, smells like a flavoring of itself.\n\nThe London Fog ritual.\nThe drink came out of a Vancouver café in the mid-1990s. A pregnant tea drinker named Mary Loria asked for Earl Grey, steamed milk, and a touch of vanilla. The combination took off and has been on every café menu since. To build a proper one at home: 1 heaping teaspoon to 8 ounces of full-boil water, 5 minutes. Strain. Top with steamed oat or whole milk and a single drop of vanilla. The fat in the milk rounds the Bergamot. The vanilla bridges the citrus into something dessert-adjacent.","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/earl-grey-loose-leaf-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851323","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/earl-grey-brewed-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851323","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/earl-grey-tin-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851323"],"price":18,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":19998,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:46:17.024Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_FEg_Y8a5","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
