Not the best Earl Grey out there
I’m a great fan of Earl Grey tea and have enjoyed starting my morning with a cup o’ the grand stuff for nearly fifteen years. As it happens I am in very good company in this practice along with the likes of Captain Picard and the eponymous Earl Charles Grey himself. Earl Grey is one of the more popular and well-known kinds of tea in the world and deservedly so. Despite general belief, Earl Grey is not a tea varietal at all, but simply ordinary black tea infused with bergamot, a citrus flavor from the rind of the fruit. Try your cup with a few drops of fresh lemon juice for some occasional, yet delicious, variety. It is also pretty neat to watch the lemon juice lighten the tea from dark brown to yellow as the citric acid reacts with the blend!

Now all that being said, I can’t really say I like the Twinings version of Earl Grey very much. It was very strong black tea with a bitter edge, an almost dusty palate, a little sense of bergamot. It was better after I put some lemon in it, but really good Earl Grey doesn’t need it nor does it have the heavy handed feel of this tea. Twinings is an appealing sort of name but I suspect they may be the British verion of Liptons. This will do in a pinch but I highly recommend you seek out Tazo or The Minister of Tea for a truly delightful Earl Grey experience.
