I said I didn't care. I still like Earl Grey.
Your friend is, if I may say so, wrong. He's just not buying the right kind. I'm a great fan of Earl Grey and start every morning off with a cup or two. I buy mine here:

And having tried pretty much everything out there, it's my favourite. Luckily I'm in Germany very regularly so we never run out.
