As you know, the British love delicious tea in all its manifestations. So it is not surprising that they even add it to pastries. Initially, only black tea was used for it, but now you can replace it with “Earl Gray” (which will give the dish fragrant notes of bergamot) or any other at your discretion. This will only make the pastries tastier.
