I love the smell of bergamot, very citrussy and uplifting. I don't particularly like Earl Grey Tea though, I found the bergamot a bit flowery in that,
I bought a couple of bergamot fruits to try. I guess I thought they'd be sweet , in the way that oranges are sweet, and that they would taste the way they smell.
I finally got around to trying one of them today. Super juicy, but so very sour. Like a cross between a lemon, a lime, and a grapefruit. The flesh was very delicate, like a lime (not a grapefruit) The flavour was OK, but too sour for me to eat as it was.
I've put it to one side to pop into some sparkling water later, for (hopefully) a refreshing drink
