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 suffers more than other teas if you steep it too long because of the bergamot. And some Earl Greys have too much bergamot anyway.

This is from a Keurig machine, so steeping isn't so much an issue.

Man, a Keurig machine, why didn't you say so? Those automated coffee things are the devil. We have a Keurig at the office and i avoid it at all costs.

I don't drink coffee, so I don't normally drink anything that comes out of that machine, but all the non Lipton teas here are K-cups.
