I'm an avid tea-drinker, but I've become fussier over time. Sometimes I get tired of normal brews like PG Tips or Tetley and fancy something a bit more refined. I had been familiar with Earl Grey tea for quite some years (black tea flavoured with the oil of the bergamot orange), but my friend told me she found the bergamot oil flavouring ...

I am one of those people who has a set of tea rituals. These are as much a part of the drinking process for me as pulling the cork is a part of drinking wine - a kind of humble, food-related superstition involving pot-warming and fussing over water temperatures. It's ridiculous, fussy and stupid, I know, but to me the drink just ... Read the complete review

Twinings Lady Grey Tea Twinings and Tea are virtually synonymous, the history of the company going back centuries. Thomas Twining actually opened the first known tea room in 1706, a building that still stands in the Strand, London to this day. Lady Grey is actually a registered trademark of Twinings. Earl Grey tea ... Read the complete review

Twinings are famous for producing a diverse collection of speciality teas with richly scented aromas designed to suite the mood your in or the time of day. I have enjoyed drinking many of their offerings including the smoky flavoured Lapsang Souchong and the spicy Chai. If forced to choose however, the bergamot infused Earl Grey would ...

In the history of beverage marketing (and I'm sure that somewhere, someone is thinking of or has written it) a moment of pure genius must have been when someone came up with Lady Grey tea. Don't like Earl Grey? No matter, neither did his wife (ba-doom-ching)... Lady Grey tea is a subtle variant of the more popular Earl Grey, ... Read the complete review

I love the taste of orange in most things. Orange chocolate, jaffa cakes, tropicana... What made me pick this tea to try out was most definitely the promise of orange in it. The taste of orange did not overwhelmed the tea flavour, but rather enhanced it somehow with its mildness. This is not a tea to drink cold though. Once ... Read the complete review

I can't honestly remember the last time I had a cup of 'ordinary' tea, but I think we're talking years here. It was entierly due to the bloke I married (although we weren't married then.) He has a taste for unusual and exotic teas and it wasn't long before I succumbed. I can't claim that Lady Grey is my ... Read the complete review

I love tea. As my friends and family will tell you, I can easily manage ten or twenty cups a day. It has been known for me to chain-drink seven cups of the stuff in one go. I reach for a cuppa in the same way as a smoker lunges for a cigarette. If I’m stressed, fed-up or tired, tea picks me up and perks me up. I only become human ... Read the complete review

Previously to living in France, I didn't think twice about my cup of char, I simply stuck the kettle on and grabbed a Tesco's own budget priced teabag from the cupboard. Terribly uncultured of me, I know, but I really didn't know my Assam from my Pouchong. Oh, how times have changed; living in a country where coffee is supped ... Read the complete review

I'm sure many people have heard of Earl Grey tea but what about Lady Grey (obviously his wife!)? Earl Grey is tea that has been flavoured with bergamot oil but Twinings have produced Lady Grey which is Earl Grey with a citrus twist! Twinings have taken fine China tea and scented it with orange, lemon and bergamot oil. The ... Read the complete review
