I'm usually a coffee person but since moving here I'm on basically an IV of Earl Grey... and it's surprising how much bad tea there is here - you expect better from England!
I still love my Herodotus drawing... it's up on my bulletin board above my computer. *love*!
Actually I think England originally stole black tea from India when they had all those colonies there. Earl Grey is an amusing mix because it's made with black tea from India and bergamot which comes from Italy, but yet it's such a distinctly English drink. The Earth & Tea Cafe in Harrisonburg makes the best Earl Grey ever. Have you guys ever had tea imported from India (or something similarly authentic)? My landlords spend most of the year in Thailand and bring tea back when they visit. It's the best black tea I've ever had!
I also drink a lot of Irish Breakfast tea. It has a very smooth flavour, especially with cream and sugar.
