More About Bergamot

Bergamot has showy, scarlet flowers in large heads or whorls at the top of the stem. The whole plant is strongly impregnated with a delightful fragrance; even after the darkly-coloured leaves have died away, the surface rootlets give off the pleasant smell by which the plant has earned its common name 'Bergamot,' it being reminiscent of the aroma of the Bergamot Orange. It is also sometimes called 'Bee Balm,' as bees are fond of its blossoms, which secrete much nectar. Bergamot is used as an ingredient of Earl Grey tea, and gives the tea an uplifting and cooling effect.
