A FINE ROMANCE Lavender Earl Grey Tea: Susan’s own private blend, the one she wrote about in her newest book A FINE ROMANCE ~ Falling in Love with the English Countryside; the tea she traveled across the ocean with, tucked in her bag aboard the Queen Mary 2. This is her “4 o’clock tea,” “almost a dessert,” a tea she says is perfect with a good book or the newest issue of British Country Living Magazine. She likes hers with a spoonful of honey and a splash of half and half, but it’s lovely alone, or with sugar and milk, or even with a squeeze of lemon. A rich black tea with flavors of Bergamot, lavender buds and rose petals. The six-ounce bag, alone, $16.99
(We also have the “Come. Sit. Stay.” Tea Tin available without tea for $11.99)
HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT CUP OF TEA: Put one rounded spoonful of loose tea into a tea ball, one of our mesh tea-infuser spoons, or into the mesh basket that comes with some of our tea mugs. Pour over freshly boiled water. Allow the tea to steep from 2 to 5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. Your choice of accompaniments include honey, sugar, lemon, half and half, or milk. Cookies are good too. A Tea Cake like Susan’s Milk Cake (from her new book A FINE ROMANCE) makes it a tea party. ♥
