Note to self:

Herbal tea needs honey and milk to be palatable.

....technically, all tea is herbal! ;3

It depends on the kind, I find. I generally drink rooibos with nothing added, which I never managed with orange pekoe or earl grey....

I tend to call flowery- or sweet-tasting tea "herbal" without regard for whatever it really is. Everything else is simply "black" or "flower".

Oh lord. Earl Grey. I sniffed it once and wouldn't go near it again. X3

I find it depends on the brand. I drink Twinings (decaf) Earl Grey. I add milk and sugar.

Earl Grey "straight" is an acquired taste. Usually I brew a pot with one Grey bag and one or more Black/Orange Pekoe bags. How many bags total depends on the size of the pot. Typical: two bags for a six-cup kettle or four bags for a eight-cup pitcher.

Because I got my taste for tea in Florida I don't use cream of any kind. But sugar/sweetener is good.

Any idea why you can taste the bergamot stronger in decaf Earl Grey? Because if throwing in some orange pekoe (also decaf -- I'm not allowed to have much caffeine) would help, I'd try it.

It would mean not making my tea on a bag-by-bag basis, but I'd try it.
