The "bergamot lemon" is not a true lemon but a hybrid citrus fruit sometimes called the bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia). It is known for its intense aroma and bitter, floral flavor, and is famously used to scent Earl Grey tea. The fruit's rind is particularly rich in fragrant essential oils. 
Flavor and uses
Bergamot is highly aromatic and too sour and bitter to be eaten on its own, unlike a standard lemon. It is primarily cultivated for its rind, from which essential oils are extracted. 
Culinary uses
Tea: The essential oil is used to flavor Earl Grey and Lady Grey teas, giving them their signature taste.
Marmalade and baking: When cooked, the bitterness is tamed. It can be made into intensely fragrant marmalades or used in baking recipes for biscuits, madeleines, and cakes.
Desserts: Its juice and zest are used to create flavor-infused curd, sorbet, or gelato.
Savory dishes: It can be used as a finishing touch over fish, in a vinaigrette, or to flavor cocktails.
