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

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

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

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

And let's not leave out animation! In the anime series Black Butler, the main figure Ciel Phantomhive drinks Earl Grey tea on numerous occasions, and the stuff is actually integrated into the story line in a lot of ways.

Music too, sees quite a lot of references, ranging from Weird Al Yankovic's "White and Nerdy" song, to Dada's song on their self titled 1997 album called "The Ballad of Earl Grey and Chamomile." You'll also come across a chapter called "Earl Grey" in Garrison Keillor's "The Book of Guys," and perhaps if you're into playing video games, and find yourself playing a game called the "Steamboat Chronicles," then your default Mech in the game is the Earl Grey II, and all this just scratches the surface. Which are the other drinks could you name that are so well characterized?
