There's a certain mystique around Earl Grey tea. It's exceptional flavor and colorful, mystery shrouded origins make a fine story, and it's often the most popular of all English teas, and possibly the best known tea, period.

Repeated references to the blend in popular culture (generally, music, movies, television, and books), have only strengthened the image, and caused the drink even more recognized than ever. You don't really need to look far to see references to the Earl Grey tea blend, for example:

Probably the best known character in American television to drink the tea regularly is none other than Captain Jean Luc Picard, of the USS Enterprise (Star Trek, the Next Generation), and it doesn't conclude there. In an episode of Star Trek spinoff, "Deep Space Nine" there's a mention of "That Earl Grey fellow," and explaining him a thing or two regarding tea leaves, so Earl Grey in the Star Trek universe is well represented indeed!

The good Captain is not alone, though. Artimis Fowl (from the novels having his name) has quite a passion for the stuff, as does Sir Leigh Teabing, from the book "The DaVinci Code." Next of course John Locke from the Television show "Lost" who asks antagonist Benjamin Linus for a cup of the stuff, and the character of Hyacinth Bucket from the British sitcom "Keeping up Appearances," enjoys the blend in various episodes.

And let's not leave out animation! In the anime series Black Butler, the key figure Ciel Phantomhive drinks Earl Grey tea on several occasions, and the drink is actually part of the story in a lot of ways.

Music too, finds quite a lot of references, starting from Weird Al Yankovic's "White and Nerdy" song, to Dada's track on their self titled 1997 album called "The Ballad of Earl Grey and Chamomile." You'll also see a chapter named "Earl Grey" in Garrison Keillor's "The Book of Guys," and perhaps if you're into playing video games, and probably be playing a game known as the "Steamboat Chronicles," then your default Mech in the game will be the Earl Grey II, and all this just scratches the surface. What are the other beverages could you name that are so nicely characterized?
