You don't need to censor yourself Keyboard. :-) I don't care if you say bad things about Earl Grey.
But you should know that every kind of Earl Grey tastes different. Earl Grey is some kind of a mix of teas... They talked aobut ti on Food Network.
I drink Bigelow's. It doesn't have any weird aftertaste to it.
Twinnings on the other hand tastes mediciney. But my parents bought _400_ Twinnings teabags once in two giant tins SIGHT UNSEEN, or rather TEA UNTASTED, so I had to drink it and I grew to like the weird taste after a while.
Speaking of Food Network, they had a whole show on teas. I think they said the water should be boiling, and you should allow the tea to steep for two to three minutes. They also said you should not squeeze out the teabag at the end or you will get bitter flavors. And if the teabag has a lot of dust in it it's no good. In fact, the larger the bits of tea leaves, the better the tea, and the names of different quality tea leaves make no sense, but the longer the name, the better the quality.
I tried steeping my tea the way they said, and I could definitely taste a difference, but it wasn't really worth the trouble, and it drive me nuts not to squeeze out my teabag. :-)
