American here. Granted, the tea stands on its own merit. But if not for TNG I probably would still be drinking standard Lipton like my parents did.
Earl Grey with double Bergamot. It hits so hard
Its more… Soothing? than regular black tea? More smooth or something.
Not a huge fan, but I do get Yorkshire Gold when I can find it, because it’s Patrick Stewart’s preferred tea IRL.
Yes, and I like it.
But I’m really more of a Chai tea man.
I tried it because it was the captain’s favourite. Regrettably, bergamot oil is not for me.
Yes 100%
And it’s my favorite tea.
Unfortunately I developed a Romulan Ale addiction when I was only 12. To this day I’m very adversarial and distrustful of the Federation and its principles.
I drank Earl Grey even before I was aware of TNG. For me, the smell of loose dry Earl Grey is by far the most appealing smell ever. The brewed tea loses some of that aroma, but not that much.
Nah, I prefer a well brewed Raktajino.
kinda of. If I see it Im a bit more likely to have it but I tend to prefer oolong or the fermented stuff or orange or the non tea stuff from south america. If im not concerned about caffeine then hibiscus. but after my favs its earl grey all the way and sometimes just because I like saying it.
I mean, I tried it because of Picard, but I didn’t like it. I’ll stick to oolong and fruit teas.
Yeah Oolong’s my jam. I just wish I knew an admirable character that liked Oolong.
Uncle Iroh?
As an Earl Gray drinker, no. I don’t watch ST.
I did for a while, but that was my seque into English breakfast, and I’m now a Scottish breakfast guy. Brodies is my jam.
I prefer a nice medium oxidation/ medium to dark roast oolong myself.
Earl Grey is too cloying for me.
Well no. But once I’ve tried a decent tea, I never drank Lipton again.
Now and then I enjoy a cup of Lipton with a lot of milk in it, because the flavor reminds me of childhood. My mom called it “Cambridge tea”.
Lipton is really only for iced tea, not hot.
