I keep thinking that I should like Earl Grey, but I think it’s time to acknowledge that I just don’t. I’d like to try some more Lady Grey sometime, but even lattefication didn’t help me enjoy Earl Grey.

One of the first non-herbal teas I tried was a Lady Grey, and I think that biased me toward that approach to Grey-like teas. I’ve had mixed experiences with Earl Greys (sorry, Jean-Luc), and I usually find myself wishing it was a Lady Grey instead.

This Earl Grey was pretty good, though! Not enough to get full marks from me (again, I found myself wishing for more citrus), but I was pleased by how it worked out.
