Earl Grey is perhaps the quintessential tea of Britain. It is what we all know. I believe that one could even be so bold as to say the most well known tea.
And while there may be numerous stories about Earl Grey, and how it came about to be, this post is not about the standard, more of a new take.
Lavender Earl Grey is still Earl Grey. The bergamot maintains its standard flavour, that is so distinct to the Earl Grey, and maintains a comfort, while the lavender, a flavour, and aroma that is itself a standard, adds to the blend harmonizing them both, while taking off more of the astringent nature of the tea, yet still very full-bodied. No lemon need be added, this tea's added complexity has an aroma most pleasant, with a flavour to match. I would strongly suggest this blend, or a similar blend, for those that are tired of the standard.
This particular blend was made by Sterling Tea, (http://www.sterlingtea.com/) though their prices are a tad bit higher than they should be, it is an interesting blend that I am amazed that I hadn't had before today.
