BELLOCQ TEA

In a nation obsessed with tea, it's no wonder England is home to some of the best in the world. I've always been a tea person, but it wasn't until I got to London that tea became a near obsession. My new favorite: Bellocq Tea Atelier. This absolutely beautiful tea shop on Kings Road offers the finest hand-crafted signature tea blends including white peony, Afghani chai (organic Indian black tea with poppy flowers and spices), Siam basil lemongrass, and charleston (organic black tea, organic red poppy petals, chamolile, lavender and blue cornflower petals). If you're in the area, you have to stop by this shop and pick up some for yourself. If you're not in London, you must order some online.
