I caved and bought a larger quantity of this in my recent ETS order, it’s just so delicious! A wonderful twist on Earl Grey, not as rich as an EGC but with just the right amount of sweetness and light floral undertones.

Oohh! Sounds great. Now I’m imaging blends for all sorts of classic novels! What would a Jane Eyre blend be like? Something that appears plain but is packed with intriguing flavors. Something forgiving and sweet but also strong. Ideas?
Hmm, maybe a peppery rose for Jane Eyre—looks simple and sweet on the outside, but packed with flavor! A whole literary tea line would be awesome.
It really would!
It makes me want to try my hand at custom blending, so much potential. I’d love to see a Tale of Two Cities blend especially.
Let’s see… Tale of Two Cities… Revolution, conspiracy … Don’t remember the story too well. Was there a love story? kind of? Mistaken identity of some sort? I wasn’t a fan of Dickens… Perhaps an Assam with lavender for harsh times with some hint of goodness still present. I’d have said rose, but lavender reminds me of France. If you want to blend your own tea, you can play around with Adagio a bit. They let you combine their teas and name them what you like. I find it a bit limiting, but it can be fun!
Assam lavender sounds amazing! I’ve thought about making some at Adagio, it seems fun (though of course you don’t let you taste a bunch of times until it’s perfect haha)
Let’s open our own literary tea shop!
This is definitely my new goal in life, a literary tea shop!
