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.
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.
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 100%
And it’s my favorite tea.
Earl Grey with double Bergamot. It hits so hard
I tried it because it was the captain’s favourite. Regrettably, bergamot oil is not for me.
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.
I’m more of a bloodwine guy.
Yeah man but it was more the first tea I tried and branched out from there. Still my favorite though
Yes, and I like it.
But I’m really more of a Chai tea man.
Its more… Soothing? than regular black tea? More smooth or something.
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?
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.
Nah, I prefer a well brewed Raktajino.
I first tried it in a hotel as a teenager, and thought it’d be a good choice because an Orc in the game Arcanum went into a long conversation about Bergamot. The fact Picard liked it too was a bonus. 😁
British, Earl Grey is my go to, not sure why but probably started while working at a coffee shop.
