It took me six months, but I finally finished that bulk box of Lipton green tea that I got from Costco. Now I would like some new flavors. Whats the kind that Picards always drinks in The Next Generation or do you have any other recommendations?

Milk, not cream. The tannic acid in the tea sours the butterfat in the cream. No self respecting Pom would dream of putting cream in tea, Earl Grey or otherwise.

For the OP: try Lapsang Souchong (cedar fired) or Black China Rose (black tea cured with rose petals).

How long has Lipton been adding bergamot oil to its tea? I've never found it.

The stupidity of some people just amazes me.

Darjeeling
Prince of Wales


Both are good brewed strong with a bit of raw sugar and a splash of milk.

Tazo teas are great, and you can try them one at a time at any starbucks. I personally ask for two tea bags, for which there is no extra charge..

Tazo Awake, brewed extra strong is definitely tasty.

Earl Grey for the win.

A few other nice teas are Darjeeling, Lapsang Souchong (mmm.. smoky), Lady Grey.

With a bit of milk but NO sugar or sweetening of any kind. :)
