I am about to commit tea blasphemy. I don’t really like Earl Grey. I try! I keep trying, but I never can really find one that speaks to me.
Lady Grey, however, is a different matter. I do like Lady Grey. The citrus just really works for me. This is a nice tea, for what it is (see, in tea bags) (or, at least, mine is). A solid, not inspired but perfectly presentable cup of tea.

Oooh, I love vanilla.
An unexpected crisis after a very long day kept me awake last night much too long, and due to my canine companion, I needed to get up early. So with five hours of sleep under my belt, I turned to a tea that would both wake me up and help manage stress. Vanilla black, you never disappoint. I have brewed up a trusty pot of this, and it makes everything just a little bit better. Highly recommended, especially if you, like me, cannot get enough vanilla.

I find this to be quite a full bodies camomile, if that makes any sense. I find most camomiles to be a little bland, so its nice that this one has a distinct flavor to it. Its almost a little bit spicy, which I like, but still a good, soothing cup in the evening. And the different floral notes are interesting. I particularly was interested in the addition of rose, which I hadnt seen before.

I like this. Its subtle, and soothing. But its maybe just a little too soothing for my black tea loving self. I will happily drink all I’ve got, but I may not buy it again.

Tower of London is a fruity, somewhat smoky tea. This is one of my good, solid, everyday teas. A lovely cuppa.

This is a perfectly nice chamomile, and the lavender is a nice touch, but its not quite as rich as I would like. Still, I always find this to be soothing at the end of a long day. I don’t even notice that I’m getting calmer, until I am.

Oh, Paris. This tea blends my favorite flavors (vanilla, fruit, floral) with a subtle black tea. This is the cup I turn to when I know its going to be a hard day, or to celebrate a wonderful time.
One of the very best, hands down. Just remember not to steep too long, or else it turns a bit bitter.
I cannot recommend this enough. Its a staple in my cubbord. I’ll always have Paris.

A very nice fruity rose tea. Its got some smokiness that I enjoy. And the rose is not too perfume-y.
