Master Blender's Notes
Notes: Refreshing, citrusy, smooth
Colour: Bright, clean, amber
Steep Time: 3 minutes (recommended)
Legend has it that the second Earl Grey was presented with an exquisite blend of tea 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 that blend would become known throughout the world as Earl Grey tea. Although it's hard to top an original, our continuous pursuit of new and unique teas brought forth Lady Grey® tea - a softer, more elegant version of Earl Grey tea developed exclusively by Twinings.
This aromatic blend starts with teas carefully selected from distinct regions, each with their own unique characteristics. The light, milk 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 flavors are then added to yield a fresh, uplifting tea that just may become one of your new favourites.
