Notes

My favorite Earl Grey tea is Mariage Freres' Earl Grey French Blue. However I am not always able to find it here. Next recommendation would be TeaSpot's Earl of Grey. After that I pretty much buy whatever I find at my local international store -- they have quite a selection -- Harney and Sons', Taylors of Harrogate, Stash, etc., etc. Use your favorite.
