as a matter of fact thats why i wanted to try it out, the earl grey tea that is.
when i was at the store i couldnt help but think when i saw it, tea, earl grey, hot.

and hrm yes, i meant lipton: 'the brisk tea', im not sure if thats also another brand name, but it seems to be the only name on the package, i dont know what the actual name of the tea would be without branding.

i too use entirely too much sugar, generally about 2 tablespoons per metric cup
(sometimes more depending on the bitterness of the tea)

with this 'Yerba Máte' how do you tell if its the good stuff instead of an imitation? and does it have a more english sounding name alternative?

hrm green tea, i might have had that, if its the tea they serve in japanese restaurants anyhow. i never did ask them just what type of tea they were serving in the jap or chinese restaurants.

i have tried oolong tea come to think of it, its a little on the bitter side, but has a nice aroma and taste with a lot of suger.
