Tea companies are wise to send out emails about their new offerings. I got one from Harney & Sons last week about their new Victorian London Fog tea. Now, they had me at "Victorian London Fog," but when I also got an offer to receive $5 off plus free shipping, I started clicking like mad, knowing full well I was going to place an order.
First, a few words about this thoroughly delightful new tea. I've had "London Fog" drinks in several tea establishments over the past few years. Harney says this tea was the winning blend in their Tea Blend Sweepstakes (how did I not know about that?), and that "the beverage called London Fog originated during the Victorian era. It is traditionally an Earl Grey served with steamed milk." So I added milk to mine and loved it!
As you can see from the loose tea, this tea has lavender buds blended in, along with bergamot and "hints of vanilla." If you like Earl Grey with a twist, this is definitely a great tea to try.
Harney is also offering a new line of Madison Bay transferware teacups and saucers. I ordered the blue and white set (it's really more of a blue and creamy ivory color), and I think the patterns are lovely. You can see all five colors by clicking here.
Have any of you tried this new tea? I'm a fan, and if you haven't tried it yet, I bet you will be too!
Hmm, I haven't tried it yet but I want to - I'd better go look for that email! The teacup and saucer are lovely, too.
ReplyDeleteThis one sounds lovely! and I am definitely loving your teacup. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt does sound delicious. One of these days I must taste it. The cup is pretty too.
ReplyDeleteGlad the tea tastes as good as it looks. When I first saw it, I told my husband it would make a good stocking stuffer.
ReplyDeleteThe tea looks delicious. I must try it soon. And I am smitten with those teacups and saucers! I may add them to my Christmas list!
