Harney & Sons Victorian London Fog – 4oz Loose Leaf Black & Oolong Tea with Bergamot, Lavender & Vanilla

Harney & Sons Victorian London Fog is a 4 oz loose leaf blend that pays homage to a London tea tradition with a contemporary twist. Born from a customer-created recipe that rose to the top in our contest, this blend marries bold black and smooth oolong with bergamot oil, lavender, and a touch of vanilla to create a fragrant, inviting cup.

Opening the tin releases a bright, citrus-bergamot aroma backed by floral lavender and creamy vanilla. In the cup, you’ll experience a balanced body that holds up to milk or dairy alternatives, delivering warmth and depth without heaviness. This is a versatile blend that can fit into a quiet morning ritual, a cozy afternoon tea, or a comforting evening cup after a busy day.

Flavor profile and sensory notes

• Bright bergamot with a citrus lift and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel
• Subtle lavender notes that add a gentle floral finish

• Pair with light pastries, scones, or a favorite afternoon snack
• Store in the tin to preserve freshness and aroma between uses
