I've not had any other kind but Earl Grey tea for MONTHS now. YUM. There's something about the bergamot-scented steam that can make the worst kind of day bearable. It's one of the pleasures of life for me. Only I have it with milk, which I'm well aware will get me lynched back over the pond.
Also, overbrewed and too strong is just the ticket for me, too. :) I usually leave my tea to stew for 5-10 minutes (depending on how distracted I get while waiting) before adding milk and sugar. Strange to think, but Earl Grey tastes just as delicious cold. I can't drink boiling hot tea, anyway. I like it just slightly cooled.
...You know what? One last cuppa before bed has just become imperative. :D /goes to put the kettle on
