This stuff is vile...

What's the fascination with Earl Grey tea?

I've always thought anything can be made palatable with enough sugar, but you know what, I'm pretty sure that this stuff is never going to be good. It may eventually may be sweet enough that even a child would spit it out, but it'll still be vile undrinkable shit.

Unfortunately, all the Lemon Zinger is gone and the rest of the herbal stuff we have here in the office is even worse.

Man, I don't know whose idea it was to write Picard as a huge Earl Grey fan, but that writer has NO FUCKING TASTE.

It's the way forward, although I'm not fond of Earl Grey. Lapsang, a nice Oolong, Pu-erh... So many more and better teas to choose from.

I'll drink it during the winter months when it's cold in the office, but during the summers? It's all about the iced tea.

Lapsang? "Man, if only i could drink tea that tasted like a forest fire. Mmmmm!"

Hey, I like peaty single malts too, and it's not as if I'm forcing you to have any. All the more for me.

No, you'll have to fight me for some Lapsang! Love the stuff!

Also, I've used it for making tea smoked duck, and it's fantastic.
