There's some mystique with Earl Grey tea. It's unique flavor and colorful, mystery shrouded origins make a good story, and it's probably the best known of all English teas, and possibly the most famous tea, period.

Continued references to the blend in popular culture (generally, music, movies, television, and books), have only boosted the image, and caused the drink even more widely known than ever. You don't have to look far to find references to the Earl Grey tea blend, for example:

Probably the most common character in American television to drink the tea usually is none but Captain Jean Luc Picard, of the USS Enterprise (Star Trek, the Next Generation), and it doesn't end there. In an episode of Star Trek spinoff, "Deep Space Nine" there's a reference to "That Earl Grey fellow," and teaching him a thing or two about tea leaves, so Earl Grey in the Star Trek universe is nicely represented actually!

The good Captain is not alone, though. Artimis Fowl (from the novels with his name) has quite an affection for the stuff, as does Sir Leigh Teabing, from the book "The DaVinci Code." Then of course there's John Locke from the TV show "Lost" who asks rival Benjamin Linus for a cup of that tea, and the character Hyacinth Bucket from the British sitcom "Keeping up Appearances," intakes the blend in many episodes.

And let's not leave out animation! In the anime series Black Butler, the main character Ciel Phantomhive drinks Earl Grey tea on numerous occasions, and the beverage is basically part of the story in numerous ways.

Music too, sees a number of references, ranging from Weird Al Yankovic's "White and Nerdy" song, to Dada's tune on their self titled 1997 album known as "The Ballad of Earl Grey and Chamomile." You'll also see a chapter identified as "Earl Grey" in Garrison Keillor's "The Book of Guys," and then if you're into playing video games, and find yourself sitting in front of a game called the "Steamboat Chronicles," then your default Mech in the game is actually the Earl Grey II, and this all just scratches the surface. What are the other stuff will you name that are so well represented?
