Lady Grey tea is a delicate, fragrant variation on the more famous Earl Grey blend, sold by Twinings. It consists of black tea scented with oil of bergamot, lemon peel and orange peel.
Lady Grey tea was named after Mary Elizabeth Grey, the wife of Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, for whom Earl Grey tea is named. Mary Elizabeth was the only daughter of William Ponsonby, 1st Baron Ponsonby of Imokilly.
Lady Grey tea is also a registered trademark of Twinings. The Twinings blend contains black teas, Seville orange, lemon, bergamot, and cornflower.
Lady Grey tea was mentioned in the Oasis song "Bag It Up" and is the name and subject of a song by Werle & Stankowski."[1]
