Re: Help. Our Favourite Tea is Discontinued!

I now how some Empress Grey. Oddly, it doesn't seem so nice as before. Just a bit dull. I served it to my wife for 2 days, and she didn't even notice. I suspect we have just got used to it and need a change. So, I am now exploring my local blenders. We have a new one in Nottingham which looks good,a...

Re: Help. Our Favourite Tea is Discontinued!

It is sold at Selfridger’s in London, and probably other venues too.
I may have a look then. Thanks Victoria.

Re: Help. Our Favourite Tea is Discontinued!

The news was a shock to me as well because M&S Empress Grey is my go-to tea while in the office. I have found two other teas that could be quite palatable replacements: Twinings Lady Grey and Kusmi Tea Anastasia (check out https://int.kusmitea.com/our-teas/russian-blends/anastasia.html?packaging=56...

Re: Help. Our Favourite Tea is Discontinued!

Have you tried Harney & Sons? Their earl grey is good, it’s a family run business. I’ve tried their blends at their store in Soho, NYC and various tea festivals in LA. Many thanks for the recommendation. I did look at their website, but I guess I am looking for a UK-based company. At the moment I a...

Ooops. I actually live in the UK, so I think those companies aren't practical for me. Apologies for that. I did put my location in the signature, but it doesn't seem to be appearing on my posts.

Best wishes,

Re: Help. Our Favourite Tea is Discontinued!

It's been a while since I've drank an Earl Grey, but Andrews and Dunham's "Mount Grey" used to be my favorite . http://www.damnfinetea.com/mount-gray/ Also Harney and Sons has several Earl Grey variations that are supposed to be good. That's really useful. I will have a look at those. Many thanks. ...

Help. Our Favourite Tea is Discontinued!

My wife and I are lifelong **** Grey drinkers, where **** = Earl, Lady, Duchess, Empress etc. Our favourite for some years has been Empress Grey , sold by Marks and Spencer in the UK.
