ensign_beedrill 0 Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) Anyone out there curious enough about the stuff to have tried it? A few years ago, my dad came home from the grocery store with a box of it. He said he saw it on the shelf and thought of me. I, of course, was just thrilled about that. So I heated up some water and made some tea. It was gross. Wow. And now I had a whole box of it to go through. So as I made more cups, I tried adding different things like sugar and lemon juice. Once I dumped a whole small cup of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream in there. But the more I drank it, the more it grew on me and now I like it just plain. Haven't had much of it lately because I try to avoid caffeine, but recently found some non-caffeinated Earl Grey. Jackpot.

Stephen of Borg 2 Posted September 1, 2009 it's definitely something you have to get used to. I drink it often, but with sugar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted September 1, 2009 Haven't tried it, but would not pass down the chance either. Not so much like to, but more of a why not if offered. Overall, though, I hate tea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted September 2, 2009 It's a bit strong, but when I have it I always think of TNG. And smile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted September 2, 2009 I've never tried it but would if I had the chance. Sounds like I wouldn't try it twice though lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted November 29, 2010 It's my favorite tea because of the caffeine but I don't drink any tea that often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted January 16, 2011 My girlfriend had Earl Grey tea once. She had to give me oral sex just to get the tea taste out of her mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethlehem 8 Posted January 18, 2011 Well of course, it would be every guys favorite if they had a girl friend like yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted January 18, 2011 Soon after she switched to coffee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 8 Posted January 19, 2011 coffee is ok if it is at room temp and has some lemon juice in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted January 20, 2011 Ewww!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 8 Posted January 20, 2011 Ewww!! Think of it as health food. Coffee and tea have been shown to have polyphenol compounds that could protect the brain from developing Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Lemon juice helps with the absorption of the polyphenols. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted January 20, 2011 So then take a lemon juice shot before the coffee. Don't mix them up. That ain't right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 8 Posted January 21, 2011 I don't think I am tough enough to drink lemon juice straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riaan 0 Posted April 22, 2011 When I first tried it, I thought, "This is OK." I didn't especially like it or dislike it. The more I drank it, the more it grew on me. I usually drink it with honey. Computer---Earl Grey, hot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted April 22, 2011 Tea with honey is always good. And soothing to the throat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
