To think that Twinings Lady Grey tea changed flavour?

[centigrade451]

Lady Grey has always been a staple in our home as I love the tea.

The last six months I have experimented with own label Lady Greys at M&S and Waitrose. I had really missed my Twinings Lady Grey but I just didn't have space so waited til the others finished.

I bought it yesterday and took it home and made it and I was like WTF? It tastes completely different to how it used to - it tastes almost identical to the M&S one which I thought was not very good at all. I feel like it is missing a key flavour, but I am not a tea expert so I can't figure out which one. Even DH noticed (without me telling him) and he is usually oblivious.

Am I the only person to notice this?

Me too ! I've just opened a new box after a spell on coffee and I thought I'd put the wrong tea bag in the mug, definitely something awry

I'm glad it's not just me. I'm obviously having delusions in good (MN) company.

All of Twinings now tastes like dishwater.
I despair of finding a good Earl Grey teabag.

M&S decaf earl grey has been my saviour during pregnancy. But I agree, the twinnings lady grey has changed. And not for the better.

I agree, I thought it was just me. I now drink F&M Countess Grey which is much nicer.

The only way I can use up my existing Twinnings is to disguise it with lemon.
