Madame Grey – Light, Citrusy Lady Grey-Style Earl Grey
You've been asking for it, and we're proud to offer our very own, highly anticipated Madame Grey! It's a refreshing, light twist on traditional Earl Grey, created to soften the "pungency" a classic Earl Grey can have.
After much tasting, trial and error, we created what we believe is the ultimate Lady Grey-style tea. Luxury-grade black tea and a touch of jasmine green tea are blended with oil of bergamot, lemon oil, orange pieces, lemongrass and a hint of rose, with cornflower petals for color. The infusion is malty, buttery and citrusy, with the flavor of pure fresh-cut lemon slices.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: bright citrus and bergamot
Flavor: malty, buttery black tea with fresh lemon and orange
Accents: a soft touch of rose and jasmine
Finish: fresh, with a light briskness
Why You'll Love It
Madame Grey is perfect for anyone who loves Earl Grey's citrus but prefers a lighter, softer cup. It's fresh, elegant and full of flavor — a wonderful everyday tea and a favorite for afternoon tea.
A lighter, softer Earl Grey
Bergamot, lemon and orange
A hint of rose and jasmine
Delicious hot or iced
How to Enjoy
Enjoy it plain or with a slice of lemon to enhance its fresh citrus character, or add a splash of milk and honey for a soft, creamy cup. It's lovely iced on warm days and pairs beautifully with lemon cake, shortbread and scones.
Fresh, bright and beautifully balanced — we hope you enjoy our favorite Madame Grey!

Cornflower
Cornflower, also called bachelor's button, is a European wildflower that once grew freely in grain fields, which gave it its name. Its petals are prized for their striking blue color rather than a strong taste, offering only a faint, mild, slightly sweet floral note. You will often see cornflower scattered through Earl Grey and Lady Grey style black teas, as well as green tea and herbal blends. It makes any blend look as good in the tin as it tastes in the cup.
Lemongrass is a tall tropical grass native to South and Southeast Asia, where its fragrant stalks are a staple of Thai and Vietnamese cooking. In tea it gives a bright, clean lemon aroma with gentle hints of ginger and a light, grassy sweetness. It pairs wonderfully with green tea, rooibos, ginger, mint, coconut and fruit blends, adding citrus freshness without any sourness. Lemongrass is excellent iced, and its sunny flavor stands up well to a long steep without turning bitter.
Orange peel comes from the bright skin of sweet and bitter oranges, grown in sunny regions such as Spain, Florida, Brazil and the Mediterranean. Dried peel adds a warm, sweet citrus aroma with a hint of pleasant bitterness and a sunny, zesty finish. It is one of the most versatile tea ingredients, pairing beautifully with black tea, green tea, rooibos, cinnamon, clove, chocolate and cranberry. Orange and spice blends are a holiday favorite, and they are wonderful with a splash of milk.
Rose petals come from fragrant garden roses, a flower prized for centuries in Persia, Bulgaria, Turkey and China. They add a sweet, romantic floral aroma with a soft, slightly fruity finish and pretty pink color in the cup. Rose is a classic partner for black tea, green tea and white tea, and it blends beautifully with vanilla, cardamom, berries and lavender in herbal mixes. A pinch of rose in Earl Grey or a creamy chai creates an elegant, perfumed cup.

This is great! I hated how cheap the twinnings one tasted. This one is a whole other level. Amazing blend, I’m enjoying a cup at the moment with some lemon shortbread cookies!

If you're expecting something like Twinings Lady Grey--which I certainly was-- suffice it to say this blend is not much like that at all. The citrus flavour that characterise Lady Grey takes second seat to a floral note imparted by the rose petals in the blend. Maybe that's what makes it Milady Grey and not just Lady Grey; there's extra character for our taste buds to explore beyond simple citrus. It makes for a very pleasant cup of tea that will have you coming back for more.

Received my first my first canister as a gift and the label was smudged. I was horrified at the thought that I wouldn’t find the name of it to get another ! It was so good I searched for nearly a year!!! Yay! I found it!

I love this Lady Grey tea! I have bought it for years and when I serve it to visitors, they always ask what tea this is. The blend is delicious and I prefer it over Earl Grey.
I don't order this tea from Amazon, because I know how much it costs a vendor to sell on Amazon. Always buy directly from the vendor website.

I have been using Tealyra for some time now and have no regrets. The incredible selection will keep the tea enthusiast enthralled for years. My personal favorite is Milady Grey. A truly wonderful "Good morning" pick me up or a blessed warm hug on those dark chilly winter nights.

This is my "go to" tea after a tiring day ... the delightful unwinding experience begins the instant I open the canister and breath in the aromatic fragrance. I enjoy many types of teas but this Lady Grey is my favorite!!!

This is the first lady grey tea I've tried. I'm not a huge black tea drinker but this is really good, and its very pretty with the popping rose petals!

This is really the best lady grey tea on the market. We have been buying it for a year through Amazon and suddenly it was no longer available - so we went for the next recommendation - which is not a patch on this delicious brew, everyone complained! So glad we have found our way back to Tealyra. Tea has not been the same since we lost you!

This is the best Lady Grey I have tried. It has the RIGHT balance of black tea taste with bergamot, a touch of bitterness, and lemon. This is fragrant, fresh, and very drinkable. I highly recommend it.

I have always loved Earl Grey tea and an acquaintance mentioned their tea of choice was Lady Grey. I decided to try it and am so glad I chose Tealyra. This is a wonderfully tasty yet delicate tea. I looked at other brands but Tealyra seems to have the most interesting mix for their Lady Grey and I love the fact that there are no artificial or "natural" flavorings - which are quite bad for you. The presentation of the tea itself is beautiful - like a tea potpourri. I almost feel as if I am brewing a magical potion when I make this tea. Definitely a new favorite and I can't wait to share it with my friends.

This is a delightful tea--fragrant, a bit floral with a prominent orange peel flavour. Bergamot is much less prominent than in the Earl Grey tea (yeah!!!). Perfect after a short steep--left to steep too long, it becomes very bitter and unpleasant.

Extremely perfumey! My first thought upon opening the bag was that the leaves smelled a lot like like aftershave or cologne. I had to double check the ingredients list and thankfully no artificial aroma is added to the blend, awesome! Thankfully this pungent looseleaf mellows out a lot after breweing, producing an orange-amber cup that smells pleasantly floral and citrusy.
The flavour of the tea closely matches the aroma, with predominantly floral and citrus notes. The black tea base is obscured a bit by the bouquet of flowers, but tastes like a pretty standard english black tea, strong and a little bitter. As expected it goes excellently with milk!
I've tried about 6 earl greys from here; My favourite Tealyra Earl Greys at time of writing are...
- Darjeeling Earl Grey (Very citrusy from heaps of bergamot)
- Hawaiian Earl Grey (Tropical twist on classic earl grey)
- And now taking third place, Milady Grey. (A bit flowery, but a variety of different citrus notes)
Any of those three are great choices, just be aware of how flowery this one is so you know what to expect.

BEWARE - This tea contains green jasmine tea. I abhore geen tea, so this was a very unwelcome surprise, espcially since it is not in the description online.
