I'd like to hear more about your opinions on various types of teas. With the reach of our world's stretching out to the unimaginable, the difference in our cultures with regards to cuisine is interesting. ...At least, with what the most of us can remember, that is.

My own favourite is Earl Grey. Hard to prepare incorrectly, it has a sweetness to it, with bergamot giving something reminiscent of citrus with a complex yet humble flavour. It works well as a base for cream and sugar, and some find it nice to add lavender for an even fuller flavour.

On this topic, I am casting shame to the overly sickly-sweet drinks in the café. They seem there only for presentation, and pay no mind to what that ungodly amount of sugar and syrup does to the flavour of anything at all. Trying one, I immediately feared for my life. This part is not up for debate, as they're likely another hell-like punishment cast upon us.

Thank you for your time.

Sometimes it is. A number of spices and herbs can be blended together to create the perfect blend for one's desires- or not. Others prefer simply the tea leaf itself.
