It is oddly amusing to realize that my longtime fondness for Earl Grey tea almost certainly owes its origins to Star Trek: The Next Generation...

I just can't seem like Earl Grey. I keep trying it and trying it...

Fortunately, Janeway drinks coffee. :)

Yes. And time temporal anomalies give her a headache. Thus, if you desire to meddle with the space-time continuum without application of analgesics, don't drink coffee :)

I think you might have a flaw in your logic there... Granted, I'm not 100% sure, but it looks that way.

Perhaps I'll be certain after a cup of coffee. ;)

I love your icon! Have you tried any of the flavored Earl Greys out there, like Tealuxe's Blue Flower Earl Grey or Creme de la Earl Grey? I find them much more intriguing and tasty than plain old Earl Grey.

(But I do confess, Justin, that Picard is the man who convinced me to give Earl Grey tea another try, after years of swearing I only liked sugary teas. Luckily, I am beyond the sugar stage, now.)

Thanks! I'm pleased with it (the icon, I mean).

I haven't tried the flavored teas, mostly because the times I've tried Earl Grey have left me with a bad taste in my mouth, so to speak. I don't like the lemon flavor - I take my tea with milk.

I have enough other teas that I adore that I figure I don't really need another one. (There are currently 16 tins of different teas on my desk at work, after all. I think that's enough. ;)

Technically, bergamot is in the orange family -- but if you don't like it, it doesn't much matter which family it's in, eh?

Love the lesbian sex icon!

Yeah -- my taste in tea has gradually moved from "Okay if there's a ton of sugar into it" to "A little sweetener. Maybe. If it's black tea."

I drink Earl Grey (or for that matter, English Breakfast) with One Standard Sweetness Unit (most often a packet of Splenda) -- far less sweet than American prebrewed crap. Green tea I've found I prefer iced and pure -- Tea's Tea has become my beverage addiction of choice...
