Lady Grey from Twinings

I have now had this without milk, but with honey. SO GOOD! No overpowering “Fruit Loops” taste. Just a sunny, happy, cup of tea. I promptly made myself another cup. :)

We are sick today, so trying a few different teas with honey. My husband really enjoyed this one. We both felt that the honey really complemented the flavors in the tea.

I think you’re the second person I’ve ever seen refer to the taste of Earl Grey as “Fruit Loops” :3

I haven’t gotten that flavor with any other Earl. I wonder if it is the extra citrus in this one that does it?

Really? I’ve actually been frightened to try other types of Earl Grey ever since starting my journey with loose leaf tea… It’s not to say “Fruit Loops” is a totally off putting taste, but it wasn’t as nice as the other teas I tried later.

However, if you say that it’s not a typical character of Earl Grey then I might just give the tea another chance.

I love crafting (especially macrame), books, and tea (obviously). I also collect Wade figurines (…the same people who make the figurines for Red Rose tea.).

I have a slight obsession with nail polish.

I adore Earl Grey. :)
