I love tea
I'm not big on flavored teas. I love Earl Grey, but that's the only flavored tea that I really like (and some similar citrus flavored teas, like Lady Grey or Ahmads's English Tea No.1, or Kusmi's Russian Evening). I don't like fruit 'tea' or herbal 'tea' with the exception of Evening in Missoula, which is nice. These should properly be called "teasane" rather than tea.
Williamson and Magor make a really interesting, different Earl Grey. The bergamot is a bit stronger and a bit more fruity than others that I've tried. Of course Jackson's of Piccadilly is good, with a good tea flavor underlying the bergamot, and Twinings is my daily standard, which seems to be impossible to make bitter. Also, Upton's Tea makes a good light-bergamot Earl Grey made with a high quality base tea, which is excellent.
My favorite teas are Tung Ting Oolongs, though. They are very lightly fermented, only a little darker than green tea, and end up with a natural sweetness that I love, and sometimes they produce a flavor and smell of lilacs. Just about any High Mountain Oolong is good
I like good darjeelings, too, and Keemun.
As Ever,
