Did you (like me) take up drinking Earl Grey because it was Picard's beverage? (lemmy.world)

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.

Not even Picard could convince me to enjoy tea. Janeway knows best.

I never really got into tea because I always found the flavour disappointing compared to its aroma. But I recently tried yerba maté, which isn't a tea but definition, but is similar. It's made from the leaves and stems of Holly and has a strong, bitter flavour that definitely does not disappoint. It's enjoyed in places like Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil. Now I start my day with a mug of coffee, then sip on maté the rest of the day.

Have you tried a nice oolong? I used to think the same until I tried a good tieguanyin.

Nah, I'm a simple man and I'm siding with Janeway on this one.
