@above: what’s wrong with liking both?
Anyways. best (herbal) tea I’ve ever had was oregon-grape leave tea. oregen grape bushes look a lot like holly bushes, but the bark is different and the berries are blue.
I need to remember what else got put into it…it was all stuff found on the trail or stuff that was somehow left over from the week-long backpacking trip…things like fir needles, oatmeal, and huckleberries.
YUM!
(As for earl grey tea…as far as I can tell, that’s only popular because picard drank it on the enterprise. “Tea, earl grey, hot”. {whirrr…}. )
