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...

Mr Man is absolutely convinced that the I started the Still Room in direct response to my affinity for playing with Alchemy in our Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls XBox game.

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

Fortunately, Janeway drinks coffee. :)

I liked it before then, but it is a pleasant echo.

You may have seen the newspaper article a year or so ago that he was sent a fancy tea set by the current Earl Grey.
