I was unimpressed with this variation on the classic Earl Grey. Of course, this blend lacks the bergamot which makes Earl Grey so distinctive, I think in an attempt to soften the flavor. Unfortunately, for me it softens the flavor too much.
To me this tea tastes weak and thin. While the overall blend of citrus is not unpleasant, it lacks any sort of black tea punch. I have come to prefer stronger teas, and as such, this blend just doesn't do it for me. I can see how Lady Grey might be a good introduction for a non-tea drinker, or maybe even for someone who prefers green tea. In my case though, it lacks appeal, and there is nothing special about it.
