Preparation Steps
- In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
- Boil 1 cup of water, remove from heat, and add the Earl Grey tea bags. Steep for about 10 minutes, then remove tea bags and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Gradually pour in cooled Earl Grey tea, vanilla extract, and sour cream, mixing until fully combined. Add eggs one by one, blending until smooth.
- Pour the creamy filling over the prepared crust. Place in a preheated oven at 325°F and bake for 55-60 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly.
- After baking, turn off the oven and let cool inside for 1 hour. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- In a small saucepan, combine mulberries, water, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until it thickens. Strain if desired.
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Spoon the cooled mulberry sauce over the top, slice into 8 pieces, and serve.

Notes
Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for the best flavor. Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling. Avoid overmixing after adding eggs to prevent cracks.
