Lady Grey

I love Lady Grey tea, and I love Twining’s best of all- it’s basically a lighter version of traditional Earl Grey. I’ve found this to be a very versatile tea- drinkable at any time of day.

Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy…even after brewing for five minutes. A real disappointment from such a good brand likeTwining’s.

This is a wonderfully light tea. I mainly taste lemon, but it’s delicate, with very subtle tea flavor and just a hint of orange.
In general I like stronger teas, but this is so nice and tasty, I think it’s likely to become a staple.

I’m in love with this tea. However, I never actually want to drink it, for whatever reason. It may be the fruity smell/taste (not a big fruit fan), and I love Earl Grey, so I gave it a try. It’s a good, sweet tea, with some Splenda. There’s still the hint of EG (bergamot?) in the back of the smell and taste, but the fruitiness comes to the front. Really enjoy it in the morning.

I had a bunch of tea bags floating around, so I decided to bring them to the training center today. I already found out we have a hot water tap on the floor of our training room. Woot!

This is REALLY strong on the bergamot. I am fond of Twining’s Earl Grey. It’s one of the bagged teas I drank a lot before I switched mostly to loose leaf. Maybe I just haven’t drunk it in a while, but this one is stronger than earl grey with the bergamot. It also tastes like there is some other citrus in it too… a touch of lime? The base is nice as well, not overly bitter. Altogether, a solid morning cup of tea. Something to enjoy while I’m sitting here waiting for the boring class to begin. I hate these kind of training classes.

And I think this particular bag was sent to me by Shelley_Lorraine, so thanks again! :-)

I like this blend better than the classic Early Grey. Lighter, almost delicate black tea and the oranges and lemons less bitter than the usual lone bergamot.

This tea made my afternoon. I was finishing up a shift at work and this was exactly what I needed. A little hint of lemon, more orange though. Quite pleasant would drink again.

So today was a particularly dismal day, dark skies then pouring rain, and there’s that added sadness of having to write a paper. I figured I needed something to lift my moods up a bit, and after rummaging through my pantry I found this stashed into a corner, along with a tin of Earl Grey, behind the seasonings.
Since we’re out of milk (yes, how sad), I went with Lady as I only drink EG with milk.

Pretty reddish-brown coloring at the end of 3 minutes.
Smells nice, a little bit flowery.
Tastes lighter than Twinning’s EG, and with citrus flavors, very soothing.
A bit astringent, and it does get more so if you accidentally leave it in the pot for long.

I got around 5 steeps out of it, but it did start to get weak on the second steep.

A lovely and fragrant tea, rather subtle and gentle taste, I was expecting a stronger black base.
Reminiscent of an earl grey with a bit of pungency and bitterness removed.

Had without milk, very keen to try again.

Much better than the earl grey, in my opinion. Definitely worth looking into, probably one of the best “grocery store” teas I’ve had.
