It’s like drinking a bouquet of flowers 🤢

I love it but black with one sugar! It’s not very nice with milk.

I have it with soya milk.

Murdoch1949 · 09/07/2025 15:04

Bloody love it, also love Lady Grey. Obviously without milk.

Ontheedgeofit · 09/07/2025 15:08

in the supermarket so thought I’d add some interest.
this is our selection of EG.
none of which are going in my trolley.

No Lapsung Souchong but this is a very standard grocery store.

We have what we call an 'Earl of Yorkshire' which is a Yorkshire Gold and Earl Grey together. Love it.

cloudyblueglass · 09/07/2025 15:12

Love it.

BusterGonad · 09/07/2025 15:14

I love Earl Grey but I don't buy it all the time. I also only drink it with a little milk.

cupfinalchaos · 09/07/2025 15:16

My favourite.

girljulian · 09/07/2025 15:16

I love Earl Grey. Now, the one that really confuses me is Lapsang Souchong. Blegh!

I do! Black with lemon.
Lady Grey with milk.

Inthesmallclouds · 09/07/2025 15:20

I have it once in a while when I fancy it
always with milk

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 09/07/2025 15:21

I don’t mind it. It’s fine but I’d rarely choose it, except maybe if id already had loads of proper tea.

Apparently my kids’ SM likes it (they have bought it for her before).

The one that is really foul is Lapsang Suchong (sp?) - tastes like ham!

My favourite tea if we’re being fancy is Orange Pekoe but happy with ordinary tea.

amicisimma · 09/07/2025 15:22

I love Earl Grey. I like the Tesco's own best.

TaupeRaven · 09/07/2025 15:30

Earl Grey is the only tea I drink, and always with milk

LoveItaly · 09/07/2025 15:32

It’s the only tea I actually like, lovely stuff, you can keep your Yorkshire tea etc

Fundayout2025 · 09/07/2025 15:33

I think it has a nasty smoky taste

ThatsNotMyTeen · 09/07/2025 13:26

I love it. Decaf earl grey is my hot drink of choice, if not having a coffee. I do like a spot of milk in it though, pleb that I am.

Fellow decaf Earl Grey pleb here :)
Fortnums is my fave brand, but day to day I drink supermarket own brand stuff

If I’m drinking caffeinated Earl Grey, Joe’s is my fave brand. We get the catering packs delivered (OH is hooked)

Weepixie · 09/07/2025 15:35

I really enjoy it. It’s such a thirst quencher on a hot day and a lovely pick me up on others. And always with milk and no sugar.

weareallcats · 09/07/2025 15:37

I love it! I like flowery tasting stuff in general though (rose Turkish delight, Parma violets, gin, etc).

Gottogetoutofthisplace · 09/07/2025 15:39

YABU, I drink a bucket of it multiple times a day. Can’t stand ‘normal’ tea, it tastes woody and gross

notatinydancer · 09/07/2025 15:40

Earl Grey or Lady Grey , no milk.

Jacobs4 · 09/07/2025 15:45

It’s my tea of choice. At the moment I love teapigs earl grey.

ThierryHwasthebest · 09/07/2025 16:20

I love it, it’s my hot drink of choice.
I buy mine from Whitards, they definitely have the best.
Don’t like the ones sold in Costa/Starbucks etc. those are very flowery.

CaptainSevenofNine · 09/07/2025 16:32

Earl grey tea. Hot.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/07/2025 16:32

Dh occasionally treats himself to smoky Earl Grey from Fortnum and Mason - that is his favourite - but Sainsbury’s own for every day.
