I’m born in Poland during the communist regimes reign. Back then there was only one tea available: Black Tea.
We mostly drank it with a slice of lemon and some sugar. To this day this is my favourite way of drinking tea.
But I also enjoy what I started calling “Queen Elisabeth Tea” when my daughter asked what it is, same black tea but with milk and sugar. She likes it a lot too.
Last but not least, I really enjoyed Japanese tea, we went to a special tea house and they showed us how to brew it and drink it. It was some special green tea, very delicious!
The gulf between bad Earl Grey and really good Earl Grey is huge, but a really good Earl Grey can’t be beat. The Crema Earl Grey from Rare Tea Cellar is right up there.
I got a box of Royal Grey from Murchie’s, and it’s my absolute favorite so far! Got a box of the Earl Grey Cream from them too, but I hated it…
I might get crucified for this, but when I’m ill I find Lady Gray with a splash of milk quite comforting.
