American here. Granted, the tea stands on its own merit. But if not for TNG I probably would still be drinking standard Lipton like my parents did.

      I still do. At one job my manager said, “Don’t forget your coffee,” that I had left on his desk, and I proudly said, That’s not coffee, it’s Tea, Earl Grey, Hot." He took a closer look and said, “It doesn’t look like tea, Earl Grey, hot.” I replied, “It has milk, two percent, cold.” Sigh, you don’t see days like that anymore.

    I did for a while, but that was my seque into English breakfast, and I’m now a Scottish breakfast guy. Brodies is my jam.

      Brodie’s, eh? I’m intrigued and will try!

      Another recent favorite of mine is Thompson’s Titanic Tea. Very full flavor. Big picture of the ship on the label, but only because their grandfather’s tea shop in Dublin was “a stone’s throw” from the shipyard.

    Earl Grey because of Picard, green tea because of anime, coffee because of my grandma, herbal infusions because mom only liked those.

    I think my only individual beverage choice has been tepache, a mild fermentation of pineapple. It has a lot of sugar, so don’t drink it a lot.

    I prefer a nice medium oxidation/ medium to dark roast oolong myself.

    Earl Grey is too cloying for me.
