The description of this sounded pretty intriguing, so though I already have H&S Earl Grey Supreme established here as my house earl grey, I sprang for a tin during the black friday sale.
How do the two compare?
1. I think Earl Grey Supreme is still technically the better tea. Something about it just tastes higher quality.
2. The Victorian London Fog is noticeably finicky to make. If you set a timer, you’ll be fine, but I have a bad habit of wandering off like a space cadet, and I appreciate teas that can be a little more forgiving.
3. Having said that all that, when it turns out right, the London Fog is really delightful. The light vanilla and lavender notes are a delicious accent to the earl grey. And there is a bit of nice cream flavor too.
I don’t think this tea is going to supplant the Earl Grey Supreme any time soon, but it’s well worth trying. And really when you think about it, there’s nothing wrong with keeping a back-up earl grey around ;)

They were sold out of all but samples when I ordered, so I only got a wee bit, but we liked it. We also like their Earl Grey Supreme best, but this is a nice change and is very creamy, so I think I would have fun making lattes with it, if I made lattes. My daughter is the real EG lover and she liked it enough that I will be getting more for her.
Yes the cream aspect is very nice!
