Lady Londonderry
A mixture of black teas from Ceylon and India, this tea is more delicate than English Breakfast and Earl Grey, with a wafting essence that inspires the mind toward things of higher and more noble substance. Enhance the taste of strawberries with white sugar and a touch of milk, and find the hint of lemon in its subtleties.
