Earl Grey Flowery

A haven in the colors of sky and petals

This enchanting blend is a favorite of Cecilia Ashford, a sensitive soul with a passion for flowers, and wife of George, whose family has been a client of the shop for generations.

It is on the rooftops of Paris, between Haussmann chimneys and zinc gutters, that Cecilia created her haven. There, in this elevated garden where irises raise their violet swords to the changing sky, where peonies unfurl their generous corollas like crumpled ball gowns, she cultivates more than just flowers: she cultivates the art of dreaming.

Every afternoon, Cecilia settles into her small glass greenhouse, a transparent refuge nestled in the heart of her suspended Garden of Eden. Under the glass roof with white iron frames where dewdrops glisten, among carefully aligned stoneware pots and seed packets labeled by her delicate hand, she savors her cup of Flowery Earl Grey while the rustling of the wind in the leaves accompanies her daydreams.

Tea and food pairings

Our Earl Grey Flowery can be enjoyed with a still-soft almond financier, where the sweetness marries the tea's finesse like a harmonious accord of English paradise. Or accompanied by an orange blossom madeleine, whose delicate notes resonate with the cornflower petals, awakening a spring nostalgia. A simple, crumbly, and fragrant shortbread with lemon curd reveals all the poetry of the infusion, as if the simplicity of refined pleasures allows the tea to sing its own floral melody.

Tea-based cocktail

When warm weather arrives, this delicate infusion becomes the soul of a non-alcoholic cocktail, as graceful as a wild flower bouquet. Simply let the tea cool, then combine it with a splash of white grape juice, a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon, and a hint of elderflower syrup. Pour over a bed of ice, then crown with edible flowers – pansies, cornflowers, or violets – that float like fragrant memories.
