    I'll add that to my list of teas to try along with Lapsang Souchong.

    It's actually a blend of Chinese teas, including Lapsang. It's not as smoky and harsh though, because it's tempered with Keemun.

    I hope you like it. :)

    I'm sure I will: It sounds, to use a scientific description, quite yummy.

    I absolutely love Earl Grey tea. My grandparents were english and we always had tea with breakfast, lunch and dinner. When I grew up watching TNG I always thought that it was cool that Picard liked the same tea as I did.

    The 2nd Earl Grey was of course from Alnwick in Northumberland, which effectively makes him a Geordie. Hence his famous saying, "Howay man, tha's a reet canny bevvie."

    A bit too sweet for my tastes, I like more robust, 'bitter' teas.

    Had some Earl Grey today. It was hot. But I cheated with one sugar. Pretty good.
    No milk, obvs. I'm not a heathen.

    ^^^^^^^^ Not a good idea to resurrect a 7 year old thread. You need to read the board rules pinned at the top of this forum.

    CLANG!
