Lady Grey

Note: This is a review for the bagged version.

I really wanted to try this tea because a good friend of mine, who hates bergamot and therefore cannot stand earl grey, said she liked this tea, and described it as a “lighter earl grey.” Light, yes, but definitely different from earl grey. The citrus note stands out more than, say, the lavender-like intensity from earl grey. I sometimes add milk to my earl grey but I think this Lady is best straight, though I will try it with a bit of milk on my next try.

Overall, it was a light tea, and though I prefer Earl Grey, it was a nice change. I saw the loose leaf before and they were quite pretty. I would like to try some, but it is not my favorite tea; I don’t see myself buying a whole tin.

This was a nice citrus flavored tea . Had two cups this morning .

Usually I add a bit of sugar, but didn’t this morning and I can really taste the citrus flavor. It’s a great wake up tea, not quite a breakfast tea, but mid-morning, maybe.

This is a much lighter version of Earl Grey with lemon and orange added. Its actually very easy to drink and very light. My wife likes this tea so I thought I would try it this morning and I am pleasantly surprised. I like the stronger EG’s, but I really enjoyed this tea.

Enh – It was okay. Not my favorite but then again I don’t really like earl grey teas so that probably had something to do with it. It was worked for my mid afternoon tea fix though.

This tea (loose) is my go-to cuppa when I want a black that will pick me up a bit but still be comforting. Love the floral and citrus scent and the fact that you can actually taste them (but they don’t overpower the tea). I take it with 1-2 tsp of sugar per mug, and a splash of milk (doesn’t curdle despite the citrus peel). This is a pretty forgiving tea – I put too much milk in the first cup but the flavor still came through. Oversteeping gives me caffeine jitters but the tea isn’t too bitter.

I find this to be a great tea right after dinner. Earl Grey is too heavy and too difficult to get right. Lady Grey is very forgiving with steep times. I do think it is a bit more than just a light version of Earl Grey. The citrus flavors are more pleasant when trying to relax.

This is one of my favorite teas. SO GOOD!

I love this tea, it’s one of the few that I can count on enjoying all the time, even when I’m sick and my taste buds are uncooperative.

This is a fantastic morning tea. Something in the aroma reminds me of early mornings of my childhood. Such a wonderful smooth taste for early mornings!

I love ladies.

The gateway to a good earl grey tea
Good for a pretentious version of an afternoon tea party.

Just made this into the most wonderful glass of iced tea. I have never been a fan of earl grey tea, but I really enjoy the citrus undertone in lady grey. Even though I am not usually a huge fan of bagged tea, I would strongly recommend this tea to my friends.

This tea was delicious. Mixed with a little milk and sugar. Perfect for relaxing after a long day at work!

this tea was gifted to me by a friend. i’ve always preferred the lady to the earl, which i always found too perfumy tasting. i stepped my LG for just four minutes & i think it could have done with a bit more time. the Twinings variety doesn’t have as much flavour as other versions of this tea, but it’s pleasant, calming & quenching. not a bad way to start the day.

A pretty mild Earl Grey-type tea. It is pleasant, but not my favorite. I appreciate the prominent bergamot and lavender-ish flavor, but the overall blend doesn’t have the bite that I expect from an Earl Grey.

One of my favorite teas, has a unique taste that I just love.

Very nice looking.
Pleasant smell.
Tastes like Twinings Earl Grey but with lemon-scented detergent added.
Not really appealing.

A decent Earl Grey, but the bergamot flavoring seems a bit artificial, and a little bit heavy handed, and that’s what stops me from giving it higher marks. Its a good tea when faced with a tea box at a restaurant that stocks a Twinings sampler (which is often where I’ve had it).

Yum. The citrusy wife of earl grey! This is my favourite tea to drink when im sick with honey and milk. Its a keeper.
