#is tea code?

I just drank some coffee and now I am even more tired than before. What kind of false promises are that? That’s why I prefer tea, no false promises.

You drink earl grey! I always pictured you as a twinnings or Yorkshire tea kinda guy. I’m disgusted by the appalling taste in tea (half joking).

Twinings (which is only written with one N by the way) is a tea brand, not a kind of tea. There is earl grey or lady grey tea made by Twinings because that's a brand. They make all kinds of tea, also fruit teas.

Yorkshire tea is a brand of black tea, however it still differs to earl grey because it only contains black tea leaves and no bergamot, which is the distinctive characteristic of earl grey. Due to the bergamot earl grey has a slight citrusy taste, which I prefer. The citrusy, floral and slightly sweet taste perfectly complements the bitterness of the black tea leaves. However I prefer the stronger brands of earl grey with more caffeine. One of my favourites is Hampstead earl grey because it's one of the few brands that actually use real bergamot instead of just artificial flavouring or oil. But Twinings is good as well, my favourite is dark grey tea, it has a more smoky and darker flavour but still the citrusy note of bergamot.

Welcome to London then. And yes it is difficult to find high quality and safe tea in a new country if you do not have any previous contacts, because otherwise it could happen that you are scammed or poisoned. I know some trustworthy tea distributors which I can recommend to you, and of course also tea parlors where you can safely consume the tea.
