Earl Grey tea.
My colleagues seemed to think it was odd I could give such a specific description for the aroma of a tea and I'm curious if anyone gives the same description as me.
Hint: Two different food products often used as condiments.

Hmmm.... did I take drugs or something this afternoon?

What kind of a weird-ass thread did I create here

All I know is that it smells funny. Never trusted funny smelling objects.

I probably have some in the kitchen someplace. My girlfriend and I will give it a go and reply back

I like it more than just plain black tea, but I didn't know what was special about it (I just wikied it)
Obligatory reference:
"Keep your forty I'll just have an Earl Gray Tea"

It's sort of a dry, musty, deep, floral goodness. With a hint of wicked.

Anyone that can name the smell of anything named Earl has issues.
I'll stick with coding thanks.

Lemon and pepper? I'm going to be off smelling my tea for the next half hour or so....

I've only had it in ice-cream. It smells like, well, tea.
