lady grey
by twinings
(23 reviews)Legend has it that my ancestor, the second Earl Grey, was presented with this exquisite recipe by an envoy on his return from China. He liked it so much he asked Richard Twining to recreate it for him. Richard did so and the blend would become known throughout the world as Earl Grey tea. Although it's hard to top an original, our continuous pursuit of a new and unique teas brought forth Lady Grey tea- a softer, more elegant version of Earl Grey tea developed exclusively for Twinings. This aromatic blend starts with the teas carefully selected from distinct regions, each with their own unique characteristics. This light, mild taste originates from teas grown in the humid, subtropical climates of China and Central Africa, while low-grown teas from India provide its bright amber colour. Orange peel, lemon peel and other citrus fruit flavours are then added to yield a fresh, uplifting tea that just may become one of your new favourites.

I really like this, went in thinking it would be like an Earl, was pleasantly surprised at it's mild citrus flavor, a softer version and unique, will keep this one around

Earl Grey is bold. When he wants your attention he grabs you by the chin and shouts.
Lady Grey is more refined. A gentle caress of the cheek, impossible to ignore but much more pleasant.
In truth, I enjoy both but there are times when the Lady Grey tea is the only one I want. It's simultaneously punchier and more refined than regular Earl Grey, and always worth a try!

It's a light, fruity take on an Earl. I like it in the afternoon, or as an iced, tea.

This tea is so floral and pretty, it's pretty good with cream and just a bit of sugar.

This is a nice alternative to Earl Grey. In theory. Howeverz the execution is flawed by that thing Twinings does where the tea is weak and multiple bags are needed.

Earl grey was always too perfume like for me, but Lady Grey is perfect! Light and lemony, it’s refined and delicate, perfect for am afternoon pick me up. This is one I can drink plain.

This is a delicious tea, very good as an afternoon refresher. The difference between the earl grey and the lady grey is quite subtle, but noticeable enough that this tea is worth trying.

I wasn't a huge fan of this Grey. It's a little strange on the palate compared to Twining's other offerings. It's a little extravagant on the additional flavors but it's not terrible.

I actually don't like this tea for drinking - it's a bit off I guess.
Like when someone else makes your cup up for you and adds too much milk and sugar.
That said this tea makes for a wonderful earl/lady gray cookie.
It's less successful when experimenting with bars and muffins.

This tea is wonderfully balanced, light and refreshing. Not a touch of bitter. The fragrance comes first - the purity of the tea with a hint of citrus. It cannot stand for a second steep, but doesn't require any additives to improve the flavor.

The Lady holds her flowers more subtly than the Earl, and benefits from it. Lady Grey tea has remarkably less lavender aroma, but makes up for it with a bright hit of citrus and a gentle creaminess. One of my favorite morning teas.

Calming black tea with citrus notes. Complex flavor. It's great iced or hot.

Pleasant smooth black tea with citrus, I preferred this one over the earl gray when my stomach was uneasy in the morning

The light lemon flavor rounds out the bergamot well. I used to drink the Earl Grey but much prefer this tea as the creaminess is pleasant but does not take away from the flavor.

This is a classic. It has a lot more going on than Earl Grey. Much more flavor

You won't need a squeeze of any citrus for this tea. For this brand, I've always preferred Lady Grey over their traditional Earl Grey due to the addition of citrus. Any time I saw this in a grocery store, this was my go to 'Grey.'

This used to be my favorite tea when I only knew tea bags, and nothing about loose leaf. I steeped it again and I don't know why I used to like this. It was very bitter and not much citrusy flavor at all.

This Earl Grey has a nice flavor that is balanced out really nicely with bargamont. It's a bit on the creamy side so I didn't need to add much to my cup. Don't let it seep too long because the flavor does get a bit bitter over time.
