Forget Foggy London Streets, Dive into a Bright and Tea-riffic London Fog!
Ever heard of a drink so delightful it could clear away the murkiest London fog? Well, move over cuppa, because the London Fog is here to steal the show (and warm your hands). But before you dive into this delightful beverage, there's one crucial question: what tea is the star of the show?

| What Tea Is In A London Fog |
The Earl Grey Whisperer
Fear not, tea detectives! Unlike a London fog itself, the answer isn't shrouded in mystery. The tea that forms the base of this comforting drink is none other than Earl Grey. Yes, the same Earl Grey enjoyed by pinky-extending pinky-out enthusiasts (though pinky extension is entirely optional, we don't judge).
But why Earl Grey?
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
Ah, that's where the magic lies. Earl Grey boasts a distinctive citrusy aroma thanks to the addition of bergamot oil. This bergamot magic mingles beautifully with the hot, frothy milk that's another key ingredient in a London Fog. The result? A tea that's both elegant and invigorating, with a hint of sweetness (often added with a touch of vanilla syrup or honey).
Not a Fan of Fancy Earls?
Fear not, fellow fog enthusiasts! While Earl Grey is the traditional choice, the beauty of the London Fog is its versatility. Don't fancy yourself an Earl? Here are a couple of alternatives:
- English Breakfast: A strong black tea that can hold its own against the creamy milk.
- Lady Grey: A milder Earl Grey with hints of citrus and floral notes (perfect for those who find regular Earl Grey a tad too strong).
- Vanilla Black Tea: For those who want to double down on the creamy sweetness.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
The Final Sip: Fog-Free Fun!
So there you have it! The next time you're looking to add a touch of delightful mystery (minus the actual fog) to your day, grab a cup and whip up a London Fog. It's the perfect pick-me-up, guaranteed to chase away the blues (and maybe even some pesky pigeons).
