So, this may jeopardize my Southern card, but I have a confession to make. I love, love, love, iced Earl Grey tea. The bergamonty deliciousness is just impossible to resist.
I've been accosted by my Southern family and friends for many things since moving to MA, of which becoming a "raging liberal" is the most egregious offense. (Though, I had all the same opinions back in AL...it just wasn't quite as safe to express them!) I've also been chastised for calling grocery "buggies" the less colloquial "grocery cart". I also admit to limiting the "y'alls" while teaching my UMass students to protect myself from incessant teasing by 18-year-old punks-in-training. Even with all of these strikes against me, I anticipate that this decision to eschew Lipton or Luzianne in favor Twinings Earl Grey may be the straw (or should I say leaf?) that breaks the proverbial camel's back.
What can I say? If loving iced Earl Grey is wrong, I don't want to be right.
There's one thing that just might save me: I drink sweet, iced Earl Grey tea.

I make people bring me Luzianne tea bags, just saying. Although I haven't tried Twinings iced, I don't particularly like it hot.
That's hysterical! I am going home in two weeks. Want me to bring you some?
Not sure of why you don't care for the Twinings hot, but if the Twinings is too sharp for you hot, try the Lady Grey. I actually prefer that one for hot tea.
I'm set for the moment, I stocked up at Jazzfest (got some Community too, with big plans for a taste-test that'll probably never happen). As for the Twinings, I used to like it a lot and then I had a bunch of others and preferred those. I haven't strayed from regular black tea in a while so this may be outdated information. I have a bunch, perhaps I'll make a cup when I'm next home.
