Lady Grey tasting session #1

finally got to taste my Twinings Lady Grey. was activated for sailing etc etc...shan't elaborate.

Initial scent...all the citrus! just bursting out...it's like a good riesling. perhaps not. but very citrusy. it's unlike earl grey with just the bergamot.

Steeping...the fragrance is wonderful. it's more like an infusion. can smell lemon, orange, perhaps a bit, very wee bit of lemongrass. which is not entirely pleasant because it can smell like toilet fresheners.

Tasting...a little disappointing. perhaps it's because i am missing some vital ingredient. like honey, additional twist of lemon, sugar perhaps? milk?

perhaps it's just a bit of getting used to.
