Twinings - Lady Grey Zesty, Orange & Bright - 80 Tea Bags

This Lady Grey is definitely not identical to the blue box of individual packaged Twinings Lady Grey tea bags. The tea is stronger (blacker), and that may overpower the citrus flavor component of the tea. However, I've discovered that in the proper proportions (half the number of tea bags compared to the USA Twinings Lady Grey), I can enjoy a pot of delightful Lady Grey. Please note that the tea bags are not individual wrapped. Every twenty tea bags are in a foil wrapping. Also, these tea bags have no strings. Frankly, for the price difference and the ability to use one tea bag for a pot in which I would need to use two USA Twinings tea bags for the full strength of the Lady Grey, I am quite happy with my purchase. It may be worth while to look into British versions of my other favorite teas...

I prefer this (UK) over the US version. Flavor is good and tastes like Lady Grey.

I like this black box Lady Grey tea almost as much as the purple box (U.K. version) Earl Grey tea. This one is just a little more citrusy than EG but is still mild when steeped 2 minutes per directions. Apparently this 100-count black box Lady Grey is the version sold in the U.K. The tea bags don't have a string or tag and are not individually wrapped. There are two foil packs of 50 bags each in the box. See photo for differences. Directions say steep for 2 or 3 minutes. The gold box version is individually wrapped, has a string and tag on each double-sided tea bag, and doesn't seem to contain quite as much tea in each bag as the black box version. Apparently the gold box LG is the version meant for sale in the U.S. I have both and much prefer the black box U.K. version. The gold box says to steep for 3 minutes, so maybe that is part of the difference, but it seems stronger and more lemony with a slightly bitter aftertaste that I don't like. It would be helpful if the product pages included information on which version each tea is. The Twinings Earl Grey is sold in two versions, too, and I like the U.K. purple box version of it better as well.

Item as described, packed nicely, delivered on time. A nice Lady Grey blend. I drink three or four cups of tea everyday, and have done so for at least 50 years! Twinings Earl Grey and Lady Grey are my favorites, and I enjoyed sampling this selection shipped directly from England. Will purchase again. I've also been looking at The Yummy Palate's storefront on Amazon and am irresistibly tempted to buy some lovely looking snacks and treats. I am only waiting for cool weather to arrive, as Arizona temps are now 100 degrees in the daytime and ordering chocolate right now would be kinda dumb. I posted feedback for this item a few weeks ago and was dismayed to find that, although I wrote a positive review, I had somehow checked the wrong number of stars. Please disregard my previous 1-star rating as it was marked in error. This 5-star rating really reflects my view of this product.

Just received my most recent order a couple weeks earlier than anticipated. Was surprised that the box only has 80 tea bags @ 200 g instead of the 100 bags @ 250g in the description. I much prefer the flavor of this version from the UK to the USA version which seems to be weaker.

Great tasting tea.

First discovered this tea in Ireland. I love it. The Lady Grey here is with lemon but for me orange is the best.

My favorite tea for many years now has been Twinings Lady Grey purchased either at our local grocery store here in the USA or ordered on Amazon, and brewed each morning in a large teapot. For awhile I even blended my own version of Lady Grey with bulk black tea, infused essential oils, and dried orange and lemon peels. Last year I started using bulk Earl Grey tea along with two Lady Grey tea bags in the teapot, which has been very satisfactory. Last October I ordered a box of 100 of this Lady Grey from the UK, but received a smashed box of 100 foiled LG tea bags from the USA. After reading so many positive comments about the UK variety, I was disappointed but still welcomed 100 more tea bags of what I was used to. I tried again in December to get a box of 100 of this UK Lady Grey. It took a little longer to get here and was packed in a sturdy box, but I was sent a box of 80, not 100. All of this effort to discover I'm not really a fan of the UK tea, so probably just as well I only got 80! The UK tea tastes completely different than the USA version, with more a vanilla flavor and no hint of zesty orange. I'm sticking with the USA Lady Grey or my own blends.

数年前にイギリスの友人からお土産で頂き あまりの美味しさにびっくりしました。 それからはもっぱらこの紅茶ばかりです。 イングリッシュブレンドは、日本の物とは比べ物にならない位風味も、薫りもしっかりして豊かな味です。 正直国内の紅茶は味も香りも薄くておいしくありません。なぜこんなに味が違うのかと、よく調べたらイギリスの茶葉と国内の茶葉では全く違うのだそうです。 一時はこの紅茶が日本に入ってこなくなり販売再開までかなり待ちました。 又美味しい紅茶が飲めるようになって良かったです。 一部のレビューに賞味期限まで１ヶ月しかないものだった…というのがありましたが、このショップはきちんと 賞味期限を確認し、長いものを送ってくれました。

This is a great tea - not nearly well-known enough.

爽やかなオレンジの香りで美味しいです。 ほぼ毎日飲んでます。 日本版のLadyGrayと比べると、自分は日本版の方が好きな香りでした。ラベルの青とオレンジの違いくらい違うかも？

Excellent product, excellent service...

awesome
