Tea has been my absolute obsession for the last 8 years since my first authentic cup of green tea my first night in Japan. I had never even thought of tea before that moment, but when I took that first sip, I knew I was hooked.
Green tea was my go to tea for the 3 years I lived in Gifu Prefecture, and it still is in many ways. It was only when I returned home to the States that I realized just how many forms, flavors and colors of tea there was to offer. More than I could have ever imagined! Yet out of them all, and I’ve tried quite a lot, there is but one tea I can truly call my favorite: Double Earl Grey.
Earl Grey itself is full bodied, robust, and extraordinarily rich yet somehow refreshing at the same time. Its refined notes of tart orange and floral lavender make it an aromatic and relaxing tea. I love Earl Grey tea so much I even diffuse
Now imagine doubling all that awesome-osity! You’ve got yourself an amazing cup of tea. But wait! I’m not finished yet because I can make this tea even better. Not possible? Oh, I think it is…
