If you love curling up with a hot cup of tea while enjoying your favorite novel and you just so happen to be a Fifty Shades of Grey fan, you'll love the '50 Shades of Earl Grey' tea collection.
Created and blended by tea and erotic fiction enthusiast Eleanor Justice, the 50 Shades of Earl Grey teas are being sold on Adagio in 3-ounce pouches and 6-ounce tins. If you're not an Earl Gray fan, 50 Shades of Green tea is also available, although the latter is caffeinated.
Eleanor Justice adds a little personal flair to the collection and teases fans and tea enthusiasts with a cheeky description of ingredients on her boxes: "Rooibos Earl Grey with a Little Something Extra" and "Fine Green Earl Grey Tea with a Little Extra Oomph," which I'm sure all Fifty Shades' fans will enjoy.
