:: I prefer Earl Grey Tea ::
border="0" alt="Earl Grey Tea">
Earl Grey is a premium black tea from Sri Lanka, and is a blend of Indian
and Ceylon teas. It is flavored with oil of the Bergamot orange.
Research indicates that this fruit is a cross between the sweet, or
pear, lemon (Citrus Limetta) and the Seville, or sour, orange (Citrus Aurantium).
The sour orange is native to southern Vietnam. According to legend, this tea is named for
Earl Grey, a British Prime Minister, to whom a Chinese noble entrusted its secret
recipe for saving his life.
This tea has a light refreshing taste, and can be served hot with or without
milk or sugar. It can be used to make iced tea and is widely considered the
perfect afternoon tea.
I seemI picked the most stereotypical ... but I like it. :) Perfect excuse to spend the afternoon, or any time with someone. Though some people use it as an excuse to get away from me LOL You know who you are :P
