Do you like Earl Grey? If not, why?

Does anyone actually like Earl Grey?

A lunchtime poll in my office came up with I am only one of two people in a huge building who does. Soooooo I need your help, as I am getting endless jibs from colleagues like 'how does your tea taste?...like perfume; what a girls drink!' (yawn)

Therefore out to defend my taste....I ask:

What does the forum think?

Lovely bloke - I went to school with him. That said, he did get bullied a lot; smelling of bergamot during football practice is never a good idea.

I like a nice cup of earl grey (or as well call it in the office 'smelly tea') it's just a nice change from the unbranded rubbish we get... it's something like 10,000 teabags in a white bin liner! I also drink it in meetings cause it makes me seem posher than sitting in my metallica t-shirt alone

I love earl grey tea:love:. I dont drink it at work because I am in a tea club and there were comments about having to "pay extra for her fancy tea". But I drink it at home. My other half (typical sheffield bloke and proud of it) even likes it.

Hope that helps with your case:thumbsup:

I think it's revolting. I like tea you can stand the spoon up in, preferably Yorkshire Tea or bog standard PG Tips.

... and as the tumbleweed drifts slowly across that post I would like to add a vote in favour of Earl Grey. It's lovely. Darjeeling is a tasty brew as well.

i love early grey! my mum has it in and I always have a cup when I go up to her's. Its a bit more zingy than normal tea and is refreshing. Most of the time I like builders tea though
