Earl Grey French Blue, 30 Sachets

Everyone has had Earl Grey. Not everyone has had this one.

Mariage Frères layers velvety bergamot over black tea and finishes it with cornflower petals, which add something the original never had. Thirty cotton muslin sachets, hand-blended in Paris by a house at it since 1854.

For the Earl Grey loyalist who doesn't yet know an upgrade exists, or the host whose tea shelf deserves better company.
