On Friday, we met at a bakery located in ByWard Market. I love the place. I ordered an apple crumble pastry and a peppermint tea. He went with a millefeuille dessert and a cafe latte. We chatted for a bit before we had to go to his car to put more money into the metre.
You learn a lot about someone when you shop with him. My former professor loves cheese. He took me to a Polish grocery store and deli. I ended up getting a bag of perogies. He got some speciality ham.
Next door was a tea store. I am a tea fan. Luckily, he drinks tea, but he isn't as nuts as I can be. I did a bit of damage there, which shouldn't be a huge surprise.
We both noticed the Fifty Shades of Earl Grey jar of loose leaf tea.

We didn't go any further. We continued to look at tea.
We are similar. We both love math and computer science. I am wondering whether he enjoys spanking as much as I do.
Oh that tea jar label is funny...I've never heard of the Lady Grey tea in the next jar...is that an actual tea? If so, what is the difference between Earl and Lady Grey? Happy you are enjoying yourself.

I am not a big earl grey tea drinker, so I didn't buy any of it. It looks like Downunder Don has answered your question quite nicely, which saves me a bit of time. =)
Deletesounds like a fun afternoon with your former professor. The tea sounds great and what a good way to present it. I'm not a fan of Earl Grey though I prefer English or Irish Breakfast.

I'm not a earl grey fan, either. I am more of an herbal tea drinker, but I loved the tea jars and the tea store.
DeleteLike Lindy I am not a great fan of Earl Grey tea....but I do like the wonderful presentation. Lady Grey tea is the same added oils etc. as Earl Grey, but just a little milder so more of the true tea flavour shines through.
ReplyDeleteMe, neither! Earl grey doesn't do much for me. Thanks for the tea information... much appreciated. =)
