Earl Grey Tea, Tulsi, and Ohio Tea Co

I was in Canton and I wanted to stop by and get some Earl Grey tea.   I love stopping in at Ohio Tea Company.  I can not tell you how great these guys are.  Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. 

They have shelves of all kinds of teas.  Any kind of tea you might be looking for has to be here.  They also have tons of herbs too.  I bought  some fun herbs to also add to my tea.

I bought some Tulsi (also known as Holy Basil) to add to my tea.  Tulsi does:

I also wanted some Earl Grey Tea.  Ohio Tea surprised me with putting my Earl Grey cat on the label.  It is just a label for me, others do not get this great label, lol.

Did you know that, Earl Grey tea was named after the 1830's British Prime Minister.  Earl Grey is the western world's most popular tea.

I love this shop! 

I like Earl Grey as a plain tea, but I also LOVE it as a London Fog.  A London Fog is when you frothed in milk and add vanilla or lavender into the milk and then add it to the Earl Grey tea.

This is a great tea!!  The price is good and the flavors are spot on.
