Lady Grey

Black Tea by Twinings

“A refreshing, light black tea with the distinctive citrus fruit flavor of bergamot to deliver an uplifting tea with vibrant aroma and zesty flavors of orange and lemon. Lady Grey Tea is a unique blend from Twinings…[with a] gentle citrus flavor that is both relaxing and refreshing. It is perfect in the morning with breakfast or for afternoon tea. Enjoy it with a little milk, or with sweetener, or to your liking.”

Tea, in general, without milk is something I’ve had to accquire the taste for, and this tea has helped a lot. It smells wonderful and it’s mellow, and has enough body to keep me from missing the milk!

One of my favorite teas, great for this cold, wet and windy day.

This was nice, not as strong as Earl Grey, I think it’s missing the ceylon, but I liked the citrus hints in this. It was good both with and without milk.

An interesting off shoot from Earl Grey, still very nice for an afternoon cup.

Before I drank this tea I thought I wasn’t a fan of Earl Grey. This one reeled me in with its light citrus scent and delicate flavour. It is also wonderful over ice.

I’m not usually one for fruit teas but this was rather refreshing. The flavouring was subtle and the smell of orange, lemon and bergamot is a great way to start the day!

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

Very nice and light for a black tea. You can taste the citrus notes for sure. I will add it to my rotation.

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.

I don’t like bagged tea… but I like lady gray. A more citrusy black tea then Earl Grey

A good, citrusy black tea. I like this more than Earl Grey as the mister is a bit harsh; the lady has a smoothness.

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.

Good light citrusy/orangey tea, great for summer iced tea.

A very light, delicately flavoured, citrus tea. An ideal summertime tea. Great with or without milk (sometimes I even add a little extra lemon, if I’m feeling a little adventurous!)

This is, by and far, my favorite bagged tea. I think it wins points in the unique taste arena, too; I have a hard time describing it! Vaguely citrusy, but sweet at the same time. Refreshing!

This is good summertime drinking for classy ladies and even for humble gentlemen like myself.

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!”
