Ep 2 - A Little Bit of a Grey Area - Earl Grey Tea

Time to spill the tea! Join us as we introduce one of our favorite teas, Earl Grey, and the, uh, history, behind it! Learn about some of the health benefits, find out why there are NO CAPES, and read tea leaves. We made an Earl Grey according to Mr. Twinings himself and tried some “Earl Grey” tea cookies. As a bonus we tried a traditional Chai Tea with our local chai “expert,” the boy, Mike! Find out what kind of tea you are!
