Aha, your thinking, already have, but this one is a bit different. A friend went to England with her family and brought me back a small tin of Williamson and Magor Earl Grey. The next year, she and her husband went back for their 25th anniv. and brought me back a bigger tin. I can't convince them that they need to make another trip because I'm out of tea! Would anyone like to make a trade for seeds, matted photos or poetry for a tin of Earl Grey??? There isn't a tea in the US to compare with it and I've had no luck finding it.
Oh, by the way, Mark, I'm one of the lurkers. The Osteopermum and Arctotis seeds are up, tiny little things yet, but lovely nonetheless.

Up for a trade with a Yank?
I confess! I'm a lurker, too. :)

I'll sort you out with Earl Grey. Do you want tea bags or loose tea?

Can't get Earl Grey? Oh dear! A tin of Earl Grey means you're looking for tea leaves not these bag things. Do you infuse your tea or mash it? Most of the tea I see round me is PG Tips or Typhoo or Brooke Bond or supermarket. This is a different brand. Have you had any luck checking this on the Internet?
I have seen Earl Grey in Giant and Foods from all Nations.
My tea caddy, containing humble supermarket tea-bags, is a Harrods one. So's the biscuit tin. They're for when I feel posh. Many years since I've been to Harrods. When I was studying for my M.Sc and living in London I did some of my research at a library near Harrods. When I wanted a break for some fresh air I used to wander down to Harrods. They used to have the most marvellous food department. I couldn't afford Harrods prices but I felt so rich buying my tin of tea in a Harrods bag.
Louisa,
Yes, well, they have what they call Earl Grey, but have you tasted it??? LOL

All the supermarkets in the Chicago area, and independent stores carry Earl Grey tea, and it's imported. The Lady Grey tea is the best ever! Makes beautiful ice tea!! djm906
Earl Grey is everywhere here! I can't imagine that you wouldn't have it. I like the Twinings version. I first had Lady Grey in France - they told me they had no E.G. and only offered LG. Wish I could find it over here.

It's not JUST earl Grey I'm looking for. It's Williamson and Magor Earl Grey. Twinings is ok, but try W and M and you don't want to go back! LOL I never imagined that it would cause an international incident!
Kathleen
Another one between the US and UK over tea!
Ah yes, we do have that history!

Kathleen, I will see if I can find it for you :-)
Semiplena, The super markets owned by American stores carry the Lady Grey tea. In my area, it's Jewel foods. In California they have a different name. Can't remember.But they're putting them out in 5 bag packs for 29 cents. I guess it's an introductory thing. Doris
