___ Grey tea

EARL

This British peer’s title also names a popular bergamot-flavored black tea blend often enjoyed with milk.

This clue is asking for a famous type of black tea flavored with bergamot oil, named after a British aristocrat. "Earl Grey" is the full name, but the blank space shows you only need the first word—"Earl," which is also a noble title. The tea is well-known worldwide, so the answer fits both the flavor reference and the missing word structure.
