drank Lady Grey by Twinings
13 tasting notes

I started drinking Earl Grey because I wanted to be a badass like Jean Luc Picard. I didn’t know at the time that my favorite tea would actually become Lady Grey. Maybe I’m just not cut out for Starfleet.

Anyway, this is basically an Earl Grey with a little orange and lemon thrown in. You would expect it to have an overpowering citrus flavor, but it really doesn’t. It has a smooth black tea foretaste, and a refreshing citrus aftertaste. Neither part of this tea is particularly overpowering. It’s just a well-balanced, finely blended cup of comfort. My innards feel happy for a solid hour after I pour a cup of Lady Grey down. Do yourself a favor and try this stuff. It’s fantastic.

Bio

I’m a recent ex-Mormon, which means that I only recently began drinking tea (oddly enough, tea is verboten in Mormon doctrine). I started drinking tea (Earl Grey, hot) because of Jean Luc Picard, but I keep drinking tea because it’s delicious. I am a supertaster, which means bitter teas (I’m looking at you, Darjeeling) are much more bitter to me than they are to the average human. I’ve enjoyed getting into tea thus far and I look forward to tasting a great many more teas in years to come.
