Feeling really lazy this morning, so I did the standard bagged tea. I know, shame on me, but I still have some of it and I need to drink it before it gets more stale-tasting than it already does.
So it was Twinings Lady Grey this morning, and I have to say, it still sort of holds its own against the loose leaf I’ve tasted. It’s still probably the best Earl Grey I’ve had so far (and I’ve really hated quite a few), and it has a somewhat smooth but floral and citrus flavor. I was somewhat on autopilot this morning, drinking without thinking. So is it a complete knock-out? No. But I wouldn’t be disappointed if someone served me a steaming hot cup of this.

I feel you on the lazy. It’s 6.30pm now here and I haven’t had anything but bagged all day…
I am curious to see how (or if) your rating of this will be adjusted once you start trying some loose LGs or more floral EGs. So maybe you should drink this one up before you find a good one! :)
Haha, that might be true, Auggy! EG and me have a very rocky relationship. I’ll have to try that Mariage Freres you recommended!
I can’t find anywhere selling the 1854 anymore… I think it was a special edition. :( But the Rushka is good (I think). Sadly, the tea place nearest me doesn’t have it anymore either (but hopefully they will get it back or else I will have to find an online retailer for it.)
