Earl Grey tea is the most popular black tea in Europe and Lady Grey is a sophisticated and aromatic take on the beloved Earl Grey. Let’s explore the nuances of this popular tea and why it is becoming increasingly popular with connoisseurs.
Lady Grey tea is a sophisticated infusion that takes inspiration from the iconic Earl Grey and enhances it with an exquisite array of flavours. Named after the wife of British prime minister Charles Grey, Lady Mary Elizabeth Grey, this tea embodies elegance and sophistication. Its distinctive characteristics set it apart and make it a favourite for those seeking a refined tea experience.
One of the defining characteristics of Lady Grey is the careful selection of ingredients. A base of premium black tea leaves is skilfully blended with bergamot, a citrus fruit known for its fragrant and tangy essence. In addition, Lady Grey incorporates hints of orange peel, creating a harmonious medley of flavours that dance on your palate with every sip.
Lady Grey tea offers a lighter, more delicate citrus profile than its counterpart, Earl Grey. The combination of orange and lemon notes lends a refreshing quality, making it an ideal choice for afternoon tea or a soothing evening ritual. Also available as a decaffeinated tea, the subtle citrus symphony in Lady Grey contributes to its balanced and soothing nature.
As well as its captivating taste, Lady Grey tea shares the health benefits associated with black tea. Rich in antioxidants, this blend can support heart health, boost metabolism and promote general wellbeing. The delightful aroma and flavour also make it an excellent choice for relaxation and mindfulness, providing a moment of tranquillity in a busy day.
There are many variations of Lady Grey tea on the market, but as the name Lady Grey is actually the intellectual property of Twinings, they are known by other names. The English Tearoom blend is known as Mary Grey or the decaffeinated version as Evening Mary Grey. Whatever is it called, a good Lady Grey is a refined and aromatic blend. Indulge in the elegance of Lady Grey Tea, a harmonious symphony of flavours that will delight your senses and become a staple in your tea collection.
