Bergamot may refer to: The Bergamot orange · Monarda, genus of herbs of similar odor to the Bergamot orange; in particular. Monarda didyma, called Bergamot. Citrus bergamia, the Bergamot orange, is a fragrant fruit the size of an orange, with a yellow colour similar to a lemon. Genetic research into the ancestral origins.

Tucked away in our minds are a thousand different scenarios where we had a wondrous pot of tea! Glad the scent opened up those memories...the power of a great monoku! Nice. Love, Gwendolen

Smile ˜ I would sit with Your Beauty upon the porch sharing a bit of tea ˜ Gazing into Your endless beautiful eyes; listening unto the serenity found in this moment I hear Your precious voice ˜ Someday, I too, shall savor the scent of a beautiful woman, just like You ˜ My love, Forever, John!:) ˜
