London fog is a creamy tea latte that is perfectly brewed with a cup of earl grey that is topped off with steamed milk and a dash of vanilla syrup and honey. The term 'fog' in the name of this drink refers to the steamed milk and the texture created by it when it’s poured down into a cup filled with earl grey tea. The drink holds an engrossing story behind its origin. London fog was invented in Vancouver, British Columbia. During the late 19th century, a woman named Mary Loria was pregnant and during those days she would visit a cafe named Vancouver's Buckwheat Cafe.

After she discovered the drink, she fell in love with the taste of it and began ordering it at every other cafe she visited.

Surprisingly, the drink has never waned in popularity, in fact even today, London fog is just as popular as it was back in those good old days when it first saw its rise and fame among people.
