earl grey.

Earl Grey. What a splendid tea. The history is rich and long. As it turns out, it’s quite the versatile flavor profile. Infusions of this tasty tea blend make for some very unique and unnexpected treats.

This special tea is flavored with the rind oil of bergamont citrus to give Earl Grey its unique taste. We love it with a dash of steamed almond milk and a vanilla simple syrup. At high noon tea, we start with a piping hot cup of Earl Grey and sink into the afternoon knowing we’ve treated ourselves today. Such a delightful way to start off the holidays!

What comes to mind when you hear something is handmade?

For us, it’s hand crafted chocolates, homemade freshly baked cookies, quality craftsmanship and watching holiday movies where Santas helpers make toys by hand. Much like in the claymation classics, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty The Snowman, these figures are all made by hand! There’s nothing that quite compares anymore!

So, we’re super inspired this year to make handmade/homehade gifts for friends and family. If they turn our well, it might be a new tradition!

Here’s to trying new things!
