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.
Well no. But once I’ve tried a decent tea, I never drank Lipton again.
Lipton is really only for iced tea, not hot.
I did. And also got into lapsang souchong because of an interview with Patrick Stewart where he mentioned it’s his favorite type along with Yorkshire Gold. He asked to use that on the show, but the producers thought it would be too obscure or hard to remember and changed it to Earl Grey.
Not a huge fan, but I do get Yorkshire Gold when I can find it, because it’s Patrick Stewart’s preferred tea IRL.
It definitely made me want to like Earl Grey. It’s just not my jam though. It even made me start trying all the different teas I could find because I wanted to be cultured enough to have a preferred tea. I even tried Lapsang Souchong which is basically barbecue tea.
Turns out tea is pretty easy to drink and I’m pretty basic. Oolong, black, or green are great.
I prefer a nice medium oxidation/ medium to dark roast oolong myself.
Earl Grey is too cloying for me.
I even would say “tea, Earl Grey, hot” as I was nuking the water in the microwave.
British, Earl Grey is my go to, not sure why but probably started while working at a coffee shop.
No, I drink Earl grey daily, but I didn’t even knew (until a couple of moments ago) that it was Picard’s drink. I first had one on a train in Russia, and fell in love with it. The ones I have today are not the same as that one but still very good.
There’s no cup like that first cup.
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.
Brodie’s, eh? I’m intrigued and will try!
Yes, and I like it.
But I’m really more of a Chai tea man.
I mean, I tried it because of Picard, but I didn’t like it. I’ll stick to oolong and fruit teas.
I’m more of a bloodwine guy.
Glory to you and your house!
That’s pretty lame lol
