Twinings Earl Grey Tea, Loose Tea, 3.53-Ounce Tins (Pack of 6) Reviews

Twinings was founded in London, England in 1706, and has a long and respected tradition of producing only the finest of teas. Now, one of the most popular of black teas is Earl Grey, which is a mixture of black tea and oil of bergamot (a small acidic orange). But, some people find Earl Grey a little overpowering. For them, Twinings has come up with a gentler blend named Lady Grey. Lady Grey is a blend of all oriental black teas, Seville orange and lemon peel, and just a hint of Bergamot.

OK, let’s get down to brass tacks – this is a great tea, an excellent tea, produced by a great company, and it just might become my new favorite. It has just about the same wonderful smell as Earl Grey, but its taste is much smoother. Plus, I must say that when iced, Lady Grey makes a delicious and refreshing drink. (As a word of advice, don’t add lemon to this tea, it is already flavored with citrus products, and I have found that lemon will simply overpower them.)

That’s my review. If you want a wonderful smelling and tasting black tea, then Lady Grey is for you. If you want tea from a great tea producer, them Twinings is for you. If you want a nectareous drink, then buy Twinings’ Lady Grey tea!

I enjoy a good cup of tea and my absolute favorite is Earl Grey. Twinings Early Grey is among the best on the market, alongside Rishi loose leaf. A traditional English tea, Earl Grey is a black tea whose principle flavor is from the rind of bergamot oranges. Although there are various accounts of its origin, it is most likely was an Indian recipe (China is also a commonly attributed with creating the recipe) which made its way to England in the early 1800s. Named after Lord Grey, the tea is a flavorful black tea that is best served nearly boiling hot with or without lemon. It is NOT served with cream.

Twinings is one of the oldest conveyors of Earl Grey and still use the same recipe as they have for well over a hundred years (soon to be two-hundred). Their tea is also endorsed by the 6th Earl Grey and his signature appears on their packaging. Not that this means the tea is superior because of any endorsement; in this case the tea speaks for itself.

I prefer loose leaf teas to tea bags. There is something in the process of measuring tea into a cozy and letting it steep that makes the resulting cup of tea that much nicer. There is a reason they have tea ceremonies in most of the world (and although less rigorous, so do the British in their own way). Twinings is the quintessential British Earl Grey, and if you’ve never tried it, you owe it to yourself to do so. Enjoy!
