Lady Grey

just had my second mug of this today (in my British Tea Power mug naturally) but this time with a drop of milk. Lovely

Good way to start the day, a little Lady Grey.

Your life would be very empty if you had nothing to regret.

No regrets, just good black tea w/ a hint of citrus.

Creativity is not always bred in an environment of tranquility; sometimes you have to squeeze a little to get the paste out of the tube.

I am really beginning to like this tea a lot. When I get home (out of town), I will pick up more.

This is a much gentler tea than most Earl Greys, the citrus and bergamot are a smooth-tasting hint rather than a bold statement.

I lied – apparently I do have one more bag of this tea left. :D

This is my last bag of this tea – unless I manage to unearth another from the depths of my tea cabinet. That actually happens semi-often; I’ll be looking for something different and then find a random teabag I didn’t know I had. :D

I’m usually pretty hard on brands like Twinings, but I have to say that their Lady Grey is a winner.

Backlogging from this morning.

The morning cuppa. :)

This seems to be a morning staple for me, mostly because when I first wake I’m too sleepy cough lazy cough to want to fiddle around with strainers and loose-leaf tea.

Yes, I’m bad. I know.

My morning tea.

An old standby, especially in the morning.

Forgot to log this this morning.

A nice, quick pick-me-up.

Drank this with milk this morning and the milk takes off some of the sharper edges from the tea and citrus flavouring. Yum.

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.

Tea time is the time for tea.

There was a character on the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation who liked to drink Earl Grey tea. I believe it was Captain Picard.

I had this for a British sort of small meal in the afternoon between lunch and supper.

It seems nearly certain that Chris DeBurgh’s saccharine 1986 hit “The Lady in Red” has little if anything to do with this tea, which also has a color in its title.

Somewhat off-topic, but when I was a very young boy, my friends and I wrote a very dirty song relating to G. I. Joe, the title of and lyrics to which were, “Naked Lady Jaye! Naked Lady Jaye!”
