In the story, the young Dorian wishes that a portrait, painted of himself, would age instead of his actual body, allowing him to retain the spirit and beauty of his youth - Mr. Gray was evidently quite vain! The tragedy for Dorian is that no matter how hard he tries, beauty is ethereal and will always fade. In the end, he dies, aged and disfigured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen experimenting with a new blend, the thought was that there was no better way to capture the fleeting qualities of beauty than through a tea. Tea is itself a beautiful product to behold with so much time and effort going into creating each individual leaf. Once boiling water is poured over them, the leaves whither and releases their golden essence never to produce a good strong cup again. (Unless of course you're talking green teas, some of which can be brewed up to 5 times!) This blend is based on the floral notes of a good strong Earl Grey that is sweetened further with a touch of caramel, both flavors serving to hint at the sweet hold of youth. To further enhance this vision of a tea that reflects the waning qualities of temporal beauty, we blended in dried apple pieces, calendula petals, and delicate elderblossoms - products of nature that lend a character of tragic allure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black tea, Apple pieces, Cornflower + Linden + Mallow petals, Natural flavors(organic compliant).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet caramel ticklers come to the fore and finish with haunting Earl Grey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntioxidant Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e High\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaffeine Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #967102;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: #967102; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"\/howtomaketea.html\"\u003eHow to Make Tea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"English Tea Store","offers":[{"title":"1oz Sampler Pack","offer_id":50015401672982,"sku":"TOLSLP1_DGB","price":3.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4oz","offer_id":49794854912278,"sku":"TOLSLL_DGB-4OZ","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"16oz","offer_id":49794714861846,"sku":"TOLSLL_DGB-16OZ","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/1165\/6726\/files\/ovqin3gqzrcvph23keff.jpg?v=1741069030","url":"https:\/\/www.englishteastore.pro\/products\/loose-leaf-tea-dorian-grey","provider":"English Tea Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
