I’ve been a loyal customer of Harney and Sons for nearly 25 years, and this tea right here is one of my absolute favorites! If steeped correctly, it yields a rich bouquet of malty Ceylon, fresh lavender, a whisper of bergamot and my favorite, sweet and soothing vanilla to round this flavor profile out. I also appreciate the fair price point for the quality of this tea, its accessible and reliable to new and seasoned tea lovers alike, what’s not to love!

Breathe in. Delicate lavender, sweet vanilla. Breathe in again. Robust tea and citrusy bergamot. Lightly sweet enough on its own, but amenable to a splash of milk and a spot of honey if you like. Wonderful on a rainy day.

This tea is best enjoyed while sitting by a big window overlooking a rainy cityscape (if the window isn't available, just close your eyes, take a sip, and the tea will do the rest). Jokes aside, this tea is a perfect balance between the robust earl gray and the delicate notes of bergamot and lavender. A classic; I love it in latte form. I served this at my wedding, and the tin is so pretty I used it as decor.
