How to Make a London Fog
A Comforting Drink for Winter Days.
Inspired by the foggy mornings, and grey streets of a British winter, London Fog is a tea-based latte that's the perfect companion for chilly days.
Our Earl Grey with English Lavender adds a gentle floral note when used in this classic tea latte. Bright bergamot meets soft English lavender, it's the ultimate comfort drink for foggy mornings and chilly days.
Despite its name, it was actually invented in Vancouver, Canada in the 1990s, by a café barista who wanted a variation on the classic Earl Grey tea for latte lovers.
Using Albion Tea Earl Grey with Lavender, this latte is floral, comforting, and gently sweet.
