Cherry...Vanilla...Green Tea...Lime... and now
Earl Grey? As slashfoodies, chefs and beverage companies scramble to hop aboard with the next trendy taste, they may want to take a look at this one. Earl Grey is the toniest of British teas, redolent of the Empire, unmistakeable with its bergamot tang. I've been noticing the tea popping up on blogs all over the place, lately. It's partly because of July's
IMBB theme, TasteTea (cute hmm?). And I think it's partly because of the Earl Grey mystique. Cybele at the
Candy Blog reviewed truffles flavored with raspberry and Earl Grey. Earl Grey-themed entries for IMBB included truffles and gelato from
delicious:days; Earl Grey Mixed Berries Cake from
Renée; Earl Grey-infused Apricots from
Il Forno; and Earl Grey and Satsuma Jelly from
Lex Culinaria. What's next for Earl Grey? Well, if we see it as a flavoring in the Coca-Cola company's next new beverage, Earl Grey will have arrived.
