Lady Grey

last night I wanted to try something new, so I opened my lady grey. Not my favorite twinings but, twinings is never bad. A little too fruity maybe but plain earl grey is so much better!

I’m an Earl Grey fanatic and I found this in my cupboard when I had ran out (it was in one of those variety packs) so I decided to try it out. It actually surprised me at how much I liked it! It’s like a less harsh Earl Grey with prominent tones of citrus/lemon. Even if it’s lighter, it’s definitely not ‘weaker’. Steep it for 4-5 minutes and it’s perfect. So nice and refreshing for breakfast with a splash of milk.

For tea bagged tea I enjoy this one. It is lighter and more refreshing than Earl Grey. More citrusy than floral I have drunk it with and without lemon and both times found it to be pleasant. I am not sure that adding milk would be advisable.

First sip, basically tastes of nothing. Threw it away.
I suppose the thing I like about Earl Grey is the bergamot (you can thank snus for that one) and obviously Lady Grey is light on that.
Will try again, might benefit from a bit more sugar and maybe a bit less milk but not super keen.

This is a light and refreshing tea that’s great for mornings. It tastes almost like an Arnold Palmer (half tea, half lemonade). I take it with milk and sugar.

Glad I found the Lady Grey. Like it better than the stronger Earl Grey, and love the light citrus. I’m terrible about time and temperature, but this tea seems to be good even when the cup has gone cold or I left the bag in too long. It doesn’t seem to get as bitter as the “Earl”. I also like the decaf version of this when I can find it.

Lady Grey is a more refined version of Earl Grey; tasty but not overpowering. Another tea chest staple.

I’d love to be able to find the loose version of this, because I am loving the bagged version! More citrus than an Earl, light bergamot. Such a happy little tea!

(With sugar and milk added, it reminds me of Fruit Loops. Weird!)

I simply adore this tea. Light enough in flavour, not too strong and delicious to have anytime, I crave this tea. Has completely replaced my “need” for coffee. Tea is all the love you need!

I bought this tea because I’m a huge Earl Grey fan and thought I would like to try the “sister” tea. I find this tea to be “meh”. I’ve brewed it a couple times, thinking I would learn to appreciate it, but nope. Still “meh”. Not great, doesn’t totally suck. I would say it’s too light, not enough body, and too heavy on the lemony flavor.

Its like Earl Grey, but with slight taste of orange. Perfect if you want drink something fresh and fruity.

I am not a huge fan of earl grey, but this feminine version is fantastic! The citrus notes are lovely, no bitter tastes at all. I drink this in the summer to cool me off!

This tea tastes vaguely like fruit loops to me, and it’s delightful. Definitely a lighter blend of it’s husband. But equally delightful.

As I mentioned on my review of Twinings Peppermint tea (a very good purchase), I bought these two teas together on a “2fer” sale, not expecting much; I must say I am glad I got this box! I was actually intending to buy earl grey tea, so when I got home and read the label, I immediately thought: “What the heck is Lady Grey”
The ingredients are basically the same as Earl Grey, yet the taste is lighter and smoother. The ingredients list mentions additionalcitrus flavors listed after orange and lemon, but with further online research, I found that cornflower is an ingredient in this blend. I am assuming that cornflower isn’t listed in the ingredients as it’s probably there in negligible amounts. I think it smells like Earl Grey, an aroma that I adore. As I mentioned the taste is very light and smooth, which is not bad at all, I was just looking for something more robust, but I like this tea very much. It’s great with sugar and just earlier I made a very foamy tea latte with it. It was a really good way to enjoy the tea in different ways.

Excellent tea. Not bitter in the slightest. Though bagged, has very rich yet delicate flavour. The various citruses can clearly be tasted, though they leave a slightly sour aftertaste. Must try Twinings’ Earl Grey now.

I’m a novice tea drinker who used to have to add loads of milk or sugar to anything but I love this one without anything in it in the mornings! I discovered it in one of the Twining’s variety boxes and now I buy it alone all the time.
Random discovery: I was drinking this when I was up late studying one night and eating Girl Scout Thin Mints at the same time and it was a great combo!

I liked it. I wasn’t sure what to expect but the flavor is sweet and sensual. I seeped it for 2.5 minutes as I don’t like strong tea. I drank it without any sweetener or milk. Very nice cup of tea for anytime of the day.

So much better than Earl Grey. Delicate and fragrant. You must get the loose leaf though for those beautiful cornflower petals that float in your teapot.

One of my favorite brands of Lady Grey. Best with milk and a little sugar.

An absolutely lovely blend. The tea is perfectly dark to compliment the perfect amount of bergamot. Can be easily enjoyed prepared in a multitude of ways. Personally, I prefer stronger bergamot in my tea, if available, but this is so subtle yet distinctive, your attention is drawn to the flavor, just the same.
