I see Earl Grey Tea was mentioned by Zoe Archer being highly flavoured.

The flavour of Earl Grey is from the Bergomet Oil added to this tea.

Zoe also mentioned eating Cucumber Sandwiches and the English tradition etc.

But Zoe should check the history, the folklore of tea and this blend.

Tradition has it that this tea was served in the Boudoirs of the East End of London, to the Gentleman after their exertions in the Boudoirs.

So much for Cucumber sandwiches!
