The Cozy London Fog

Soft, creamy, and gently fragrant, The Cozy London Fog is our take on the classic Earl Grey tea latte. Oatstraw Double Cream Earl Grey brings bold black tea, bergamot, and a naturally smooth finish to the recipe before it is topped with warm, frothy milk and vanilla.

It is an easy café-style drink for slow mornings, rainy afternoons, or any moment that calls for a little extra comfort.
