For me, it's Lapsang Souchong. Kind of like burnt rubber with a cat-pee finish. Yuck.

@centrox,
China Black. Great aroma, but the tea just doesn't live up to the fragrance.

Peter Ustinov said "one of life's great tragedies is that coffee doesn't taste the way it smells". Am I allowed to mention coffee here? Now there's a drink.

@centrox,
Ustinov, now there's a guy I liked. I should look him up, as by now I don't remember why he was a favorite.

Ah, there, from Wiki -
Sir Peter Ustinov, CBE FRSA (born Peter Alexander von Ustinov; /ˈjuːstɪnɒf/ or /ˈuːstɪnɒf/;[1] 16 April 1921 – 28 March 2004) was an English actor, writer, dramatist, filmmaker, theatre and opera director, stage designer, screenwriter, comedian, humorist, newspaper and magazine columnist, radio broadcaster, and television presenter. He was a fixture on television talk shows and lecture circuits for much of his career. A respected intellectual and diplomat, he held various academic posts and served as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF and President of the World Federalist Movement.

Ustinov was the winner of numerous awards over his life, including two Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor, Emmy Awards, Golden Globes and BAFTA Awards for acting, and a Grammy Award for best recording for children, as well as the recipient of governmental honours from, amongst others, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. He displayed a unique cultural versatility that has frequently earned him the accolade of a Renaissance man. Miklós Rózsa, composer of the music for Quo Vadis and of numerous concert works, dedicated his String Quartet No. 1, Op. 22 (1950) to Ustinov.

In 2003, Durham University changed the name of its Graduate Society to Ustinov College in honour of the significant contributions Ustinov had made as chancellor of the university from 1992 until his death.

Big radio & TV favourite in Britain for 50 years or more. Actor, writer, dramatist, filmmaker, theatre and opera director, stage designer, screenwriter, comedian, humorist, newspaper and magazine columnist, radio broadcaster, and television presenter. He was a fixture on television talk shows and lecture circuits for much of his career. A very funny man.

This tea made me gag when I drank it. Tastes like I'm drinking the steeped remains of a trashy casino ash tray.

There isn't any other tea that comes close. But the only other tea that I (mildly) dislike and wouldn't choose to drink if there's a choose at hand is Earl Grey.

@centrox,
I remember him as Nero in Quo Vadis and Herod the Great in Jesus of Nazereth .
