Lady Grey (tea)
Lady Grey is a tea blend which is a variation of the well-known Earl Grey tea. It is named after Mary Elizabeth Grey, Countess Grey, the wife of Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, who is the namesake of Earl Grey tea. Lady Grey tea is known for its distinctive flavor, which is a result of the addition of citrus flavors to the traditional Earl Grey blend.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
Lady Grey tea typically consists of black tea leaves flavored with bergamot oil, similar to Earl Grey tea. However, it also includes additional citrus flavors such as lemon and orange peel, which give it a lighter and more refreshing taste compared to the more robust flavor of Earl Grey.
History[edit | edit source]
The creation of Lady Grey tea is attributed to the Twinings tea company, which introduced the blend in the early 1990s. The blend was developed to cater to the Scandinavian market, where the traditional Earl Grey was considered too strong. The addition of citrus flavors made the tea more palatable to those who preferred a milder taste.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Lady Grey tea is prepared in a similar manner to other black teas. The recommended method is to steep one teaspoon of tea leaves in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. It can be enjoyed plain or with the addition of milk and sugar, depending on personal preference.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of Lady Grey tea, including:
- Lady Grey Decaffeinated: A decaffeinated version for those who prefer to avoid caffeine.
- Lady Grey Green: A blend that uses green tea leaves instead of black tea, offering a lighter and more delicate flavor.
