May I leave a recommendation please? Marriage Frères in Paris sell a couple of different types of Earl Grey (Impérial, French Blue) that are top drawer. Brew and serve with buttery shortbread for a real treat.

Earl grey summer here I cooooome! Reading about the history was super interesting. Makes me curious what the story is behind other teas. As always, thanks for sharing your magic!

Yes! So many teas are ancient. I love learning about the origins. And how they are harvested now too! So fascinating.

I loved reading this post. As a London Fog fan already this hit home. What a great deep dive.

Also, if you're in Denver you can find a Mountain Fog (earl grey with cardamom syrup). If you want to experiment, an Irish Fog (Irish breakfast tea with vanilla syrup) is lovely as well.

Yes to London Fog. I make it by the half gallon and keep it in the fridge so it's ready to go on an early morning.

PSA I was gifted an Earle grey from a store called Miro Tea (“Earle grey de la creme) and it is so exceptional!! Great for a fog! Totally made me fall in love with Earle grey.

I love a good London fog, especially lavender London fogs. The first time I had a London Fog it kinda reminded me of the flavor of fruity pebbles. The taste, the nostalgia, the super cool name. I was instantly hooked.

I highly recommend Crème de la Earl Grey from Portal Tea Company!

Yes! I have said “Fruit Loop Milk” before to describe it! Haha. I wonder why that is? Also thank you for the recommendation. Sounds heavenly.

I feel seen! London Fog is such a comforting, gorgeous, rainy day drink and this is such a beautiful ode to Earl Grey and all its perfumed glory <3 Our London Fog scented candle would be right up your alley, a warming blend of lavender essential oils, honeycomb, buttermilk and white musk.

I recommend you ditch the bag and try loose leaf.
