I have to admit that this is not necessarily the case. I have a lot of favorite doctors, and can we just take a moment to give a shout out to talk the first woman doctor, what an earth shattering surprise that was! Oh sorry, back to the story. I was exhibiting at a Dr. Who convention a few years ago in Wichita, Kansas, and their guest of honor was none other than Sylvester McCoy, the Seventh Doctor. I wanted to create a tea blend especially for the convention so I jumped at the chance to let Dr. Who inspire me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarl Grey is one of the most popular teas, especially for English afternoon tea. It is traditionally a black tea that has been flavored with oil from the rind of the bergamot fruit (either natural or synthetic oil). Standard variations include Lady Grey (blended with blue cornflower blossoms); Russian Earl Grey (with pieces of citrus peel); and Red Earl Grey (using Rooibos as a base). Recently, we have even seen a Green Earl Grey, a White Earl Grey, and even a Decaf Earl Grey. Have you ever had a ‘London Fog’? This is a tea latte made with Earl Grey, steamed milk, and vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Earl Grey blend is akin to the Parisian version which adds lavender. While I was on a school trip with my daughter to France a number of years ago, I found their Lavender Earl Grey teas to be the most refreshing, heavenly, and satisfying teas I had ever tasted. I’ve now made my own spin on this beloved blend by also adding vanilla. When customers ask me what my favorite tea blend is from those I have created, I go straight to The Seventh Doctor every time. The aroma provides an enchanting lavender fragrance that combines with the bergamot and vanilla resulting in a headiness that makes me want to close my eyes, and sip that cup all day long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough Sylvester McCoy was Scottish, his Seventh Doctor persona was most definitely a fan of earl grey tea, and this black tea blend would make him proud. This Lavender Earl Grey blend is likely to become your favorite as well. You can go ahead and add a little cream and\/or sugar, or try it iced to open up new possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happy Turtle Tea","offers":[{"title":"Sample","offer_id":41922629533831,"sku":"LLT-SD-S","price":3.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 Gram","offer_id":41922629566599,"sku":"LLT-SD-50","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Gram","offer_id":41922629599367,"sku":"LLT-SD-100","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 Gram","offer_id":41922629632135,"sku":"LLT-SD-250","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/5535\/9367\/files\/lavender-earl-grey-tea.png?v=1738184629"},{"product_id":"chocolate-earl-grey","title":"Black Hat, White Shoes","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Jack White Inspired Black Tea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea blend is inspired by Jack White’s ‘Sixteen Saltines’ released in 2012. This blend is actually a custom tea blend requested by a friend of my daughters, for a Christmas gift. We were trying to create a blend similar to the discontinued Numi chocolate earl grey tea blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope that other earl grey tea lovers would like this blend as well.

You will definitely want to try this with a bit of milk for the perfect creamy concoction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDid you know that Bergamot is actually a citrus fruit? Yes, really. Bergamot is a citrus fruit that comes from the tropical Citrus bergamia plant, which is common in the Mediterranean. It is similar in size to an orange but looks more like a lime in color. Bergamot is a good source of potassium and vitamins C, B1, B2, and A. Bergamot oil is extracted from the rind and is what gives Earl Grey it’s distinct flavor and aroma. In Europe, bergamot is used as flavoring for cookies, syrups, cocktails, and is even served as a condiment. Who knew? You can also try diffusing bergamot oil to decrease your stress levels. Try this while you are drinking a nice hot cup of Black Hat, White Shoes, for the ultimate Earl Grey experience!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you aren’t a fan of chocolate in your Earl Grey, we have other Earl Grey blends that you might prefer. Take a look at The Seventh Doctor and Thru the Standing Stones.

Jean-Luc's Replicator Blend has twice the earl grey for twice the sipping pleasure!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of Earl Greys are a black tea base with natural bergamot oil. So, we've decided to boldly go where no tea has gone before and combine a Pu-erh with a Gunpowder Green and double the bergamot yumminess!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are unfamiliar with gunpowder green tea, this is a Chinese green tea that is rolled and compressed into little tea balls that resemble pellets. In China it is referred to as \"pearl tea\". English travelers thought it resembled gunpowder so that name has been the one that has stuck for all these years. Once you steep these pellets, they explode in your cup, turning into long beautiful leaves. Gunpowder green tea is also a bit higher than regular green tea in caffeine due to its preparation. Combined with the Pu-erh tea in this blend, you are going to be enjoying a very nice caffeinated cuppa at warp speed!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Jean-Luc prefers his Earl Grey hot, don't be afraid to try this double Earl Grey blend iced or with a bit of milk and sugar. It will hold up well to both. While we recommend brewing this blend for 4 minutes as if it was a black tea, please feel free to experiment with blending times and water temperatures to arrive at the perfect melding of flavors for you.

This blend uses a black tea blend with bergamot flavoring. We then blend in rose hips, rose petals, cornflowers, and a double dose of blackberry leaves to add creaminess. Now, this blend would not be worthy of Lady Whistledown if we didn't take it up a notch, so that's exactly what we did by adding some glitzy edible beverage glitter and yellow sugar pearls (naturally colored). Penelope does look stunning in yellow, and this Rose Earl Grey tea is 'the bomb'!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarl Grey tea may not be your cuppa. Some find the bergamot flavor overpowering and\/or bitter. One of the ways to tone this down is to add a bit of milk along with a dash of sugar or honey. Or, try it the British way and add lemon and sugar to your cup. This blend is hearty enough to support both options and it will be one tasty cup regardless of how you choose to enhance it. You should also try experimenting with steeping times. We recommend 4 minutes, but if you aren't the biggest fan of bergamot then try 3 minutes. However, if you are a purist eave it for a full 5 minutes to get the full, deep citrus flavor that bergamot has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhistledown Spills the Tea is part of our custom blend program here at Happy Turtle Tea.

This smoky gingerbread tea blend starts out with Lapsang Souchong mixed with Ceylon Black tea. Then, we've added in some cinnamon, star anise, cocoa beans, ginger, safflowers, white chamomile, and natural gingerbread flavor to create a blend that reminds us of hanging out at a bonfire with friends and family, while making homemade s'mores. Oh, we almost forgot to mention our secret ingredient: Fireball Infused Sugar (turbinado sugar, Fireball) to just give this blend a rounded bit of cinnamon sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLapsang Souchong is a black tea with a very distinct flavor profile. It is native to the Wuyi mountains of the Fujian Province, China. It is smoky yet slightly sweet. The tea leaves are usually dried over a fire of pine wood and\/or pine needles which is what gives this tea its distinct smokiness. Lapsang Souchong is a bold black tea usually enjoyed in the morning but will make an excellent choice any time of day. It also stands up very well to milk, cream, or sugar. In fact, give Smoking Tardis a try with a pinch of maple sugar or syrup, and travel to an entirely new dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile straight Lapsang Souchong may not be everyone's cup of tea, our smoky gingerbread blend is a great way to give it a try as the intense smokiness is mellowed a bit with the addition of the warm spices.

However, some may still remain in the scented tea. You can try scenting your own loose leaf tea at home. Take a good quality black, green, white, or oolong tea and place it in an air tight container with fresh jasmine flower and place in a cool, dark place for 4-5 days. You can also brew single cups by adding fresh or dried jasmine flowers to your choice of tea leaves.
