Following my last post here about tea, I ordered some loose leaf Earl Grey. Several users in that thread had encouraged me to try lapsang souchong, and this shop had that as well, so I added that to my order. While I am fond of smoky-flavored foods (smoked paprika is probably my favorite spice), it is just awful as a beverage…
Oh, what a shame, I really do love it as a tea. You can use it as a mixer with whisky or other brown liquors, though, or use it as a mild form of liquid smoke.
I picked up some with a mix pack of loose leaf tea. I did not like it, it was way too smokey flavor to me. I hate to waste anything and I would have found a use for it. Instead, I gave it to a buddy of mine and it’s now the only tea he likes to drink.
I’m also not an Earl Gray fan, but I do love some Lady Gray!
Seeing that recommended a few times, I guess I should try Lady Grey next time I order teas. I tried a couple other brands of Earl Grey (one bagged, one loose leaf), and I could definitely tell the quality was better than the first brand I had tried, but I still didn’t like it much. Definitely better than lapsang souchong, though!
I’m pretty sure Lady Gray is only sold by Twinings. Earl Gray is a little too much bergamot for me, but the Lady has citrus in it that mellows out the strong bergamot flavors. And loose leaf tea is always better IMO and I mostly stick to basic oolong as my daily tea.

For me, it was similar, but it totally grew on me. It’s an acquired taste.
