A second tea that my friend Ana gave me to sample was the Tardis Blend from Adagio Teas.

From the website, the tea is a blend of Earl grey and blackberry with vanilla (also included are orange peels and blue cornflowers.) I love the tiny Tardis blue flowers:

Ana’s favorite part about the Tardis blend is that rather than the usual 3oz size, you get 4oz of Tardis tea because the pouch is “bigger on the inside.”  You can get the 4oz size for $9 or a 5oz tin for $19.

When I first opened the bag I smelled the Earl grey, which almost reminded me of licorice.  Once steeped I smelled a little bit of the vanilla.  I loved that this was a slightly sweeter, fruitier Earl Grey. It was perfect for afternoon tea on an overcast day.
