Lady Grey

Bergamot tea variant

Lady Grey is a variation of Earl Grey tea that substitutes or supplements bergamot with lighter citrus oils, typically orange and lemon.

The name plays on the established Earl Grey, feminizing it to suggest a milder, more delicate flavor profile: I prefer Lady Grey in the afternoon—it's less intense than Earl Grey.
