Sương mù London thời Victoria

The lavender is subtle enough that it doesn't fight the bergamot, which is what usually ruins these blends for me. Steeped it a full five minutes and it stayed smooth rather than turning bitter.

The vanilla comes through right at the front before the bergamot kicks in, and it's a much smoother cup than plain Earl Grey. I've been steeping it a bit longer and adding steamed milk the way the description mentions, and it holds up without going bitter.

The lavender is what makes this one stand out — it's subtle, not soapy, and it softens the bergamot just enough. I've been steeping it a bit longer and adding steamed milk the way the tin suggests, and it's become my whole evening ritual.
