American here. Granted, the tea stands on its own merit. But if not for TNG I probably would still be drinking standard Lipton like my parents did.

I even would say “tea, Earl Grey, hot” as I was nuking the water in the microwave.

nuking the water in the microwave

It's actually more efficient if you put the tea in the water first before microwaving! Tea steeps while you're waiting for the ding hehue :>

I still do. At one job my manager said, "Don't forget your coffee," that I had left on his desk, and I proudly said, That's not coffee, it's Tea, Earl Grey, Hot." He took a closer look and said, "It doesn't look like tea, Earl Grey, hot." I replied, "It has milk, two percent, cold." Sigh, you don't see days like that anymore.
