However, many users, in addition to taste, are also interested in the properties of such a drink. Is it good for the body, or, conversely, can cause harm to humans? Let's try to answer these questions in a detailed manner.

What is valued with bergamot tea? The benefits of the drink

Bergamot itself is a citrus plant, previously it was used exclusively in the perfume industry, but the British, learning about the usefulness of this culture, created the famous Earl Gray tea on its basis.

The unique qualities of bergamot were known to our ancestors many centuries ago. So the essential oil of this plant was actively used for antiseptic purposes in the treatment of wounds, stomatitis and a variety of skin problems of an inflammatory and infectious nature. In addition, it was used to eliminate an unpleasant odor from the oral cavity.

The benefits of tea

Bergamot was previously used to treat a variety of pathological conditions as a good alternative to antibiotics. In the form of tea, it helps to quickly deal with colds or viral lesions. Such a drink has a wonderful expectorant effect, lowers temperature and stimulates the separation process. In addition, it well activates the body's defenses.

Systematic consumption of tea with bergamot can significantly improve skin turgor. In addition, such a drink perfectly tightens pores and reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands. Accordingly, its systematic consumption helps to give the skin a healthy color, smooth it and even eliminate all kinds of rashes.

Bergamot aroma is of great benefit to the nervous system. It eliminates anxiety and fatigue, has a good tonic effect and reduces stress damage to the body. Inhaling the aroma of bergamot, you can cheer up and eliminate depression. Also, such a drink helps to optimize the quality of night sleep.

Among other things, experts argue that the consumption of a drink with such a plant helps to increase milk production in women who are breastfeeding, and in general to establish lactation.

Scientists have found that bergamot is an excellent aphrodisiac. Tea with its addition can be consumed as a good sexual stimulant. It effectively enhances potency, adds sexual strength and even enhances sensations and impressions.

Also, such a drink is able to eliminate all kinds of spasms, it activates the digestive processes and helps to remove "bad" cholesterol from the body. Consumption of tea with bergamot has a positive effect on brain activity, because this drink effectively activates attention and improves memory. In addition, it is able to increase sociability, add vitality. It can be consumed throughout the working day so that this time passes more fruitfully.

As you know, both black and green tea are sources of a significant amount of caffeine, if bergamot is in their composition, it can reduce the tonic effect of this element, making it not so aggressive for the body.

Who is bergamot tea dangerous? Harm to drink

Some categories of people should rather carefully drink teas with bergamot, as some active particles in this drink can cause a number of undesirable consequences. Thymol, for example, can cause nausea, vomiting, rashes, and pain in the stomach. An element such as bergapten is able to provoke the development of phototoxicity. A person with such a problem should temporarily abandon being in the open sun with bare skin. Do not use any means with bergamot during the expectation of a child, since this plant can provoke uterine contractions, which can cause a miscarriage or premature birth.

If you suffer from problems falling asleep, do not drink bergamot tea shortly before your planned night's rest.

It should be noted that exclusively natural teas with bergamot are distinguished by their high utility. Tea in bags does not contain a fraction of nutrients from the tea itself, or from an additional component. Thus, in order to get a really high-quality and healthy drink, you should buy only tea leaves, and it is better to do this in specialized tea shops.

Brewing

In order to get all the benefits of tea with bergamot, you also need to brew it correctly. Before performing this procedure, rinse the teapot with boiling water. Next, put the tea leaves in it, at the rate of one teaspoon per cup and pour the appropriate amount of hot water (80-90C). Insist such a drink for five to ten minutes, then pour into cups and drink with pleasure.

High-quality bergamot tea is really able to benefit our body.

Bergamot is a citrus plant of the Rootov family, which is an artificial hybrid of citron and orange. The fruit was first grown in Southeast Asia, considered to be its natural homeland. There are two main versions of the origin of the name bergamot. Firstly, its industrial cultivation (in particular, for obtaining and selling oil) began in the city of Bergamo, located in the Italian province of Calabria. On numerous plantations of those territories, the plant was even called the “Bergamo orange”. Secondly, the name of the fruit resembles the Turkish phrases “beyarmudu” or “beg armudy”, which means “pear of the prince” and “pear of the lord”, respectively. The adjective indicates the category of aristocratic dishes, and the noun "pear" only speaks of the color and shape of the fruit, but in no way the genetic connection with pears. Nevertheless, pears have a variety of bergamot, which looks very much like the described fruit.

One of the first areas of application of bergamot was perfumery. Essential oil squeezed from flowers and fruits gave the perfume an unusual delicate aroma. Historical sources report that the pioneers in the use of bergamot in the 14th century were either French perfumers or Florentine monks. The unique bergamot squeeze solution was called “aqua regina” and carefully concealed the composition of the ingredients. However, after some time, an unknown Cologne pharmacist was able to uncover the secret of the perfumery recipe, therefore later on it was this German city that the fame of the cologne's homeland was fixed (the phrase “Eau De Cologne” is translated from French as “water from Cologne”).

In Latin, the type of bergamot is called Citrus bergamia. Its evergreen tree usually has a height of 2.5 to 11 m, and thin branches are equipped with spines 9–11 cm long. Oval alternating leaves with petioles have a leathery surface and are slightly pointed at the ends. Their upper side is green and smooth, and the bottom is light and matte. White or purple-pink bergamot flowers are combined in axillary bunches, but can remain single. They are very easily recognized by their strong aroma and fragrant petals. The spherical or pear-shaped fruit is covered with a dense peel of three layers. Pieces of sourish flesh, pleasant to the taste, are easily divided among themselves and contain several seeds. Flowering bergamot occurs in early spring, and fruit ripening is observed only at the beginning of winter.

Bergamot is considered the economic symbol of the Ionian coast in the Italian province of Calabria. There, in a small area with the most favorable soil and climatic conditions, the main fruit plantations are located, which ensure its export all over the world. Also, the cultivators of the fetus are engaged in planters of Argentina, Brazil and the American state of Georgia.

Bergamot fruits and flowers contain essential oil, which is successfully used in perfumery and confectionery production, and even in microscopic technology. Among Russians, bergamot gained fame thanks to Earl Gray tea, in which it is used for perfume. Medicine knows the photosensitizing properties of furocoumarins, which are part of the fruit. For example, bergapten heals the skin for pigmentation problems (vitiligo, baldness). In cooking, fruit is made from preserves and other sweets. For example, in the Sicilian marmalade brand Caff? Sicilia bergamot is the main ingredient. As in the early history of the cultivation of bergamot, the plant is actively used in perfumery. The smell of the skin of the fruit combines perfectly with other odors, forming unique pleasant bouquets of aromas. Some psychologists believe that the fragrant bergamot enhances attention with long mental work.
