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.)
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. ;)
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...
