Earl Grey Flowery

A refuge in the colors of sky and petals

This enchanting blend is a favoriteby Cecilia Ashford, a sensitive soul and passionate about flowers and wife of George, whose family has been customers of the shop for generations.

It's on therooftops of Paris, between the Haussmannian chimneys and the zinc gutters, that Cécilia created her refuge. There, in thishilltop gardenwhere irises raise their violet swords towards the changing sky, where peonies unfurl their generous corollas like crumpled ball gowns, she cultivates much more than flowers: she cultivatesthe art of dreaming.

Every afternoon, Cécilia settles into hersmall glass greenhouse, a transparent refuge nestled in the heart of its suspended Garden of Eden.Under the glass roof with tin uprightswhere the dewdrops pearl, between thestonewarecarefully aligned and theseed packetslabeled with her delicate hand, she savors her cup of Earl Grey Flowery whilethe rustling of the wind in the leavesaccompanies his daydreams.

Tea and food pairings

OUREarl Grey FloweryIt's best enjoyed with a still-soft almond financier, where the sweetness blends with the tea's delicate flavor like a sweet accord reminiscent of an English paradise. Or perhaps with an orange blossom madeleine, whose delicate notes resonate with cornflower petals, evoking a springtime nostalgia. A simple shortbread with lemon curd, crumbly and fragrant, reveals the full poetry of the infusion, as if the simplicity of refined pleasures allows the tea to sing its own floral melody.

Tea-based cocktail

When warmer weather arrives, this delicate infusion becomes the heart of a non-alcoholic cocktail, as graceful as a wildflower 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 dash of elderflower syrup. Pour the mixture over ice and top it with edible flowers—pansies, cornflowers, or violets—that float like fragrant memories.
