No, I drink Earl grey daily, but I didn’t even knew (until a couple of moments ago) that it was Picard’s drink. I first had one on a train in Russia, and fell in love with it. The ones I have today are not the same as that one but still very good.

It definitely made me want to like Earl Grey. It’s just not my jam though. It even made me start trying all the different teas I could find because I wanted to be cultured enough to have a preferred tea. I even tried Lapsang Souchong which is basically barbecue tea.

Turns out tea is pretty easy to drink and I’m pretty basic. Oolong, black, or green are great.

In Russia, this is basically a default option alongside straight black tea with lemon.

It goes so far that even some name brands made international series based on Russian Earl Grey (btw, none I’ve tried capture the correct taste, but the general direction is right):

So, in my case this was just growing up on those great teas

I’m more of a bloodwine guy.

Earl Grey with double Bergamot. It hits so hard

Its more… Soothing? than regular black tea? More smooth or something.

Not a huge fan, but I do get Yorkshire Gold when I can find it, because it’s Patrick Stewart’s preferred tea IRL.

Yes, and I like it.

But I’m really more of a Chai tea man.

I tried it because it was the captain’s favourite. Regrettably, bergamot oil is not for me.

Yes 100%

And it’s my favorite tea.

Unfortunately I developed a Romulan Ale addiction when I was only 12. To this day I’m very adversarial and distrustful of the Federation and its principles.

I drank Earl Grey even before I was aware of TNG. For me, the smell of loose dry Earl Grey is by far the most appealing smell ever. The brewed tea loses some of that aroma, but not that much.

Nah, I prefer a well brewed Raktajino.

kinda of. If I see it Im a bit more likely to have it but I tend to prefer oolong or the fermented stuff or orange or the non tea stuff from south america. If im not concerned about caffeine then hibiscus. but after my favs its earl grey all the way and sometimes just because I like saying it.

I mean, I tried it because of Picard, but I didn’t like it. I’ll stick to oolong and fruit teas.
