There's something about me that may make me an enigma in the eyes of some; I know it caused confusion at the office where I - until recently - worked. And here it is: I *love* coffee. But I also feel that sometimes, nothing is better that a cup of tea! AND, another deviation from my personality is: I have a *favourite* tea.
Lady Grey is, bar none, hands down, no question, THE best tea in the world! It's produced by Twinings and, as its name would suggest, is similar to Earl Grey; but it's not as "perfumy" and has a milder, more citrusy flavour to it. If you haven't heard of it or haven't tried it, be not dismayed, you are not alone. Many have not had the pleasure yet. But now that you've heard of it, you simply MUST try it!
Another tea finds itself in the list of my favourites: Celestial Seasonings' Tension Tamer. This is a minty concoction that I savor some evenings, and I honestly can feel it melting my tense muscles! One of its ingredients is "cat nip leaves" - no joke. When my husband and I first tried this tea, our cat was just a kitten; he couldn't tell where the intriguing smell was coming from, but he was rolling all over the carpet from it!
And on that note, enjoy the following... it's a scanned image of a magnet that came in - what else?! - a box of tea!

Horror of horrors, you're like me! You have my sympathies, hehe.
I find Earl Grey a bit to strong, but I might like Lady Grey, since it's more mild.
Earl Grey always makes me think of Capt.Picard from Star Trek:TNG talking to the replicator: "Tea, Earl Grey, hot."
I've converted *so* many people to Lady Grey-drinkers that our local Save-On has started carrying it!
My next parcel will include some Lady Grey for you to try!
Hi there, actually you didn't convert ME to Lady Grey, however, in some towns that might be the name of a school and DEFINITELY is not something some people you know want to convert to. My sister in law from a town that might be thought of as a diamond town but is in fact an old lead/zinc town converted me to Bengal Spice....curse you...anyway Spring is here and wants to get onto MSN.
Sounds like something i might like to try too, ill have too look and see if our Safeway carries it!
great site BTW
