A candle that matches one of my favorite teas: Countess Grey from Fortnum & Mason. "The Countess Grey tea, made with orange pekoe teas, elevated by bergamot and orange combine to create a candle of rare brightness and refinement. A first in Fortnum's long and storied history, this range of tea candles is made in England. Presented in a beautifully decorative box, this tea candle would make a perfect gift." £45 for a 280g candle, also available in a 75g votive for £22. Other scents in the collection include Green Jasmine, Lapsang Souchong and Rose Pouchong.

How does Countess Grey compare to Twining’s Lady Grey? It sounds similar but a higher quality? (Not knocking Twinings; it’s a staple in my tea drawer.)
Yes, same idea. And I can’t speak to the quality really, because I am far from expert, just that the Twinings (I bought a loose leaf tin to see if it could replace the F&M) is much weaker and blander — even if you increase the amount you use.
