Çaysa Filiz Loose-Leaf Black Tea with Bergamot, 1 kg

Çaysa Filiz Bergamot is the bergamot-scented version of our beloved Filiz blend. The citrus aroma that fills the air even as the cup is being filled blends with the full-bodied character of Filiz tea, resulting in an elegant brew that combines the classic pleasure of Earl Grey with Black Sea tea.

Key Features

• Bergamot aroma: The citrus freshness complements the tea without overpowering it.
• Filiz base blend: The base is Çaysa Filiz's young-leaf blend; it does not turn astringent.
• Table and serving tea: It makes a difference at breakfast tables and when serving guests.
• 1 kg loose-leaf format: An economical size that will last a long time for bergamot lovers.

Brewing Suggestion

1. Warm the teapot and add 2.5–3 tablespoons of tea for a medium-sized teapot.
2. Pour in freshly boiled water and let steep over low heat for 10–12 minutes.
3. Keep the teapot lid closed throughout brewing to prevent the aroma from escaping.

Çaysa's tip: Bergamot tea shows its aroma most clearly without sugar or with a single sugar cube. Try it as afternoon tea with plain biscuits.
