Organic Lemon Essential Oil, Purity : 100%

Bergamot is the main flavoring in Earl Grey tea. It’s also widely used in eau de cologne. It was named after the north Italian town of Bergamo but is mainly produced in southern Italy. There is an annual herb that is also called bergamot (Monarda didyma) but is unrelated to bergamot essential oil. “FCF” indicates the oil is bergapten- or furocoumarin-free.
