Extremely perfumey! My first thought upon opening the bag was that the leaves smelled a lot like like aftershave or cologne. I had to double check the ingredients list and thankfully no artificial aroma is added to the blend, awesome! Thankfully this pungent looseleaf mellows out a lot after breweing, producing an orange-amber cup that smells pleasantly floral and citrusy.
The flavour of the tea closely matches the aroma, with predominantly floral and citrus notes. The black tea base is obscured a bit by the bouquet of flowers, but tastes like a pretty standard english black tea, strong and a little bitter. As expected it goes excellently with milk!
I've tried about 6 earl greys from here; My favourite Tealyra Earl Greys at time of writing are...
- Darjeeling Earl Grey (Very citrusy from heaps of bergamot)
- Hawaiian Earl Grey (Tropical twist on classic earl grey)
- And now taking third place, Milady Grey. (A bit flowery, but a variety of different citrus notes)
Any of those three are great choices, just be aware of how flowery this one is so you know what to expect.

This is great! I hated how cheap the twinnings one tasted. This one is a whole other level. Amazing blend, I’m enjoying a cup at the moment with some lemon shortbread cookies!
If you're expecting something like Twinings Lady Grey--which I certainly was-- suffice it to say this blend is not much like that at all. The citrus flavour that characterise Lady Grey takes second seat to a floral note imparted by the rose petals in the blend. Maybe that's what makes it Milady Grey and not just Lady Grey; there's extra character for our taste buds to explore beyond simple citrus. It makes for a very pleasant cup of tea that will have you coming back for more.
Received my first my first canister as a gift and the label was smudged. I was horrified at the thought that I wouldn’t find the name of it to get another ! It was so good I searched for nearly a year!!! Yay! I found it!
I love this Lady Grey tea! I have bought it for years and when I serve it to visitors, they always ask what tea this is. The blend is delicious and I prefer it over Earl Grey.
I don't order this tea from Amazon, because I know how much it costs a vendor to sell on Amazon. Always buy directly from the vendor website.

I have been using Tealyra for some time now and have no regrets. The incredible selection will keep the tea enthusiast enthralled for years. My personal favorite is Milady Grey. A truly wonderful "Good morning" pick me up or a blessed warm hug on those dark chilly winter nights.
This is my "go to" tea after a tiring day ... the delightful unwinding experience begins the instant I open the canister and breath in the aromatic fragrance. I enjoy many types of teas but this Lady Grey is my favorite!!!
This is the first lady grey tea I've tried. I'm not a huge black tea drinker but this is really good, and its very pretty with the popping rose petals!

This is really the best lady grey tea on the market. We have been buying it for a year through Amazon and suddenly it was no longer available - so we went for the next recommendation - which is not a patch on this delicious brew, everyone complained! So glad we have found our way back to Tealyra. Tea has not been the same since we lost you!
Be careful !!!!! this Lady grey is addictive... So delicious subtle and at the same time full of flavour.
My favourite . I would like to buy it by Kg !!!

This is the best Lady Grey I have tried. It has the RIGHT balance of black tea taste with bergamot, a touch of bitterness, and lemon. This is fragrant, fresh, and very drinkable. I highly recommend it.
I have always loved Earl Grey tea and an acquaintance mentioned their tea of choice was Lady Grey. I decided to try it and am so glad I chose Tealyra. This is a wonderfully tasty yet delicate tea. I looked at other brands but Tealyra seems to have the most interesting mix for their Lady Grey and I love the fact that there are no artificial or "natural" flavorings - which are quite bad for you. The presentation of the tea itself is beautiful - like a tea potpourri. I almost feel as if I am brewing a magical potion when I make this tea. Definitely a new favorite and I can't wait to share it with my friends.
