Hello all! I couldn't think of another blend of
coffee to do today, so I decided to do another tea, this time Black Tea. Black
tea is a wonderfully refreshing beverage, either sweetened or unsweetened. My
favorite blend of black tea is Earl Grey. Earl Grey tea is a simple black tea
that can be enjoyed hot or iced. I personally prefer it piping hot with some
vanilla and creamer, but that’s simply my cup of tea…. Pun totally intended.
This tea completely embodies what it is to be British. It warms you up
when it’s cold (which I hear is a common occurrence across the pond) and goes
great with scones (which I hear are enjoyed thoroughly across the pond). But
enough about ponds and such, lets musicfy this tea.
When I mix up my tea, I add in some vanilla and half
and half. This creates a wonderfully hot concoction which tastes like Fruit Loops. No joke, I
swear this tea was created by the British version of Toucan Sam… Robin Robin or
Alby Albatross?… or the dynamic duo of Robin Robin and Alby Albatross! Bringing Earl Grey Tea to the
rest of the world! And teaching them about the wonders of tea!
Well, in the words of Austin Powers, I just went “all
sixes and sevens” for a second. Let’s get to some music things. Because Earl Grey
is so British, I have to throw some Queen into the mix of flavor. I Want To Break Free is a
good song for this tea because Earl Grey is supposedly a basic black tea, but
is so different from other breakfast teas, making it anything but basic. It has
that distinct flavor of Early Grey, which is next to impossible to describe.
Imagine drinking a cup of England!
The tea almost screams “drink me whilst reading some Charles Dickens, wearing a
turtle neck sweater and listening to The Smiths!” It’s almost comical
how British I feel drinking my cuppa Earl Grey.
Sadly,
I’m not British. So this is an unfulfilled dream, and shall likely remain so
unless someone wants to buy me a ticket to a certain foggy island? Anywho,
thank you for reading my blog, it has been fun, maybe I’ll continue blogging,
maybe not. Until I decide if I want to or not, this is goodbye. God Save The Queen!
