Jasmine...

hobbitommJasmine smells of my friends!
Let me elaborate...
... in the UK, Earl Gray tea is a specific thing- black tea, with bergamot oil, or flowers, or both. It has a specific smell. In Sweden, however, Early Gray tea (or Persian Early Gray), has Jasmine in it as well, and thus has a very different aroma. This aroma is hopelessly associated in my mind with Double Wars, and thus with my friends, and so the scent of Persian Earl Gray (Thank you, Hedwig!), is terribly relaxing. :)
