Went for a little stock replenishing today.
I ran out of Earl Grey Cream tea and almost sobbed in the office.
I made a note to buy more, and voila!
(I also needed a new canister to hold them, those little bags are NOT airtight enough.)
This is Earl Grey Cream Tea. Aromatic and absolutely delicious.
Got back and had a cup with some freshly made biscotti.
But unfortunately, after the biscotti was made……
How goes your weekend? 🙂 Everyone excited for Christmas? It’s less than a week away!!!!

Earl grey CREAM tea??? Um, that sounds nothing short of phenomenal.
My recent post Morning & Merry Christmas
The cream just makes it that much better
I LOVE tea with lemon anything! Have you ever tried the Earl Grey tea from Tea Forte? It's really good! My parent-in-laws got me hooked on it.
My recent post Cookies for the Holidays
No, never! But I\’d like to. I have their app 🙂
a friend of mines introduced me to earl grey and i must say it's one of my faves along with green and oolong.
I don\’t like oolong, but I like Earl Grey Cream, Orange Pekoe and any tisanes!
Mmm…Earl Grey. I need to try Earl Grey cream tea, is that simply the name or does it come dusted with a powdered creamer perhaps?
My current tea obsession is oolong tea which I keep in a really cute Japanese tea canister on my desk at all times (see it and the haul of cute Japanese things: http://bit.ly/fRKrHE They are so irresistible). You got a good deal on your tea and canister!
My recent post Thrift Share- Holiday Thrifting
I think they add stuff like vanilla and mallow flower.
Ooo japanese canister. I like pretty things so I\’m a sucker for tins but I never know what to keep in them.
You crack me up with the lemon fight. I usually separate mine by throwing out the violent ones.
p.s. Glad you got your Earl Grey fix and the canister looks good and what a great price.
My recent post Sunday Giveaway Escape
I teach my violent lemons by eating them. 😉
Earl Grey Cream is also my favorite – My local tea house sells it in little metal tins, and if you bring your empty tin back for a refil, you save $0.50.
That\’s what I think they offer at my local tea house too!
I read all the way through waiting for the fight scene. Did she fight over the last of the tea? Nope it was the lemons. Poor things. 🙂
*LAUGHING*
The fight scene was a joke — it was between the two \”Lemon Gangs\”, when we used the zest on the biscotti from 3 of them.
That's my favorite flavor of tea! YUM!
I used to hate it. It\’s strange how my tastes have changed.
Mmm..it looks delicious! Will you be posting a recipe for the biscotti? 🙂
I am super excited for Christmas! 🙂 Can't wait! I wish time would fly this week!
My recent post Contest!
Er.. I should post the recipe right?
It seems pretty easy. 2 tsp of baking powder, 3 cups of flour, sugar, salt, milk and zest. Let me find the recipe.
Oh please do! 🙂 I'd love to make it! It'll make a pretty good breakfast with my tea that I drink every morning! 🙂
My recent post Contest!
I have to pester him for the recipe.
Those biscotti look soooo good! Perfect for with Earl Grey!
I have Twinnings Earl Grey in the cupboard, though I'll probably swap to loose when it's done like I did with my green teas. Where do you get your tea from? The container looks similar to those at David's Tea, just a different colour.
My recent post Needs vs Wants
I got mine from a local tea shop.. I can\’t remember the name. The Tea Room or something
We have David\’s Tea here too 🙂
Mmm. Earl Grey. I drink Higgins & Burke’s Fair Trade Organic earl grey. SO fragrant and yummy. I’m an Earl Grey nazi though. I insist drinking it only with lemon and honey. How do you take yours?
A little milk, a little sugar. Sometimes honey and milk instead. I NEED cream in it.
I've never had lemon biscotti. It sounds wonderfully decadent and fancy.

BF\’s new invention 🙂 It was tasty.
BF\’s new invention 🙂 It was tasty.
Oooo, that looks so good! You have me craving my tea now, except I have a hard time choosing between classic Earl Grey, English Breakfast, or my special Strawberry Green Tea 🙂
I like all of your options!
I have honestly never tried tea, just herbal and iced. It's going on my list of things to try for 2011!!
My recent post Catching up
Earl Grey isn\’t really herbal. It\’s just regular orange pekoe leaves/tea but with a more flowery flavour or aroma.
earl grey ice cream sounds gooood. who makes it?
It\’s just a standard tea. I buy it in loose tea leaves, so any tea shop should sell it 🙂
And it isn\’t ice cream..?
My favorite tea is Twinings Lady Grey, or else an English Breakfast. I must have my fix to start me off in the morning, I think it,s in the genes. 🙂

I used to hate Earl Grey, but as I get older I tend to enjoy it now.
I love Earl Grey Tea! I have never had the loose leaf Earl Grey Cream Tea, but I am sure it is delicious!
My recent post Saturday Evening
It tastes amazing! 🙂 Creamy and delicious.
