I’m an earl grey with honey man, but if I’m being honest, I’ve never really tried much else.
Earl Gray. Hot.
the only tea for me, it will surely be
it’s from a pot, it’s piping hot
It’s
edit: I also enjoy a rare London Fog sometimes
I used to pride myself on my tea snobbery, sampling green tea varieties from the farmers market and using a ceramic infuser.
Then one day I stopped having time for all that and found that Constant Comment was actually quite lovely and available everywhere.
Black tea with orange zest and spices. Simple, but everything I really want from a tea. Lady Grey is good too.
Maturity
High mountain oolong tea from Taiwan. Taste like sweet light leafy vegetable tea
2nd is dong ding oolong. Taste like literal boba balls
Go to Turkey. Visit the shops in Istanbul where they sell carpets. Be invited in for a beer and a meal.
They will serve delicious apple tea.
But really, it’s the whole experience. And that’s the best tea.
Went there as a kid, great mint tea. Some of the most inviting people I’ve ever met. Sat with nomads hocking black wool from their herd.
To be fair, i think most people are like this if you take the time to talk to them. However, their tea may be less good.
Orange Pekoe
Lapsang souchong
This is my go to. It’s a lot, but I love it. If you want a tea that isn’t afraid to be bold, this is great. However, anyone around will think you’re cooking something with all the smoke smell.
Tastes like old leather and tobacco. Fabulous.

Scottish Breakfast is my new favorite I put just a touch of oat milk in it. (no dairy for me)
I enjoy a good Irish breakfast, not sure what specifically is the difference between that and a traditional english breakfast. Just tastes smoother to me.
It has a different blend of teas.
To quote Al Swearengen: “I like that fucking darjeeling black. Oops.”
The local Polish grocery store has a selection of eastern European herbal teas, herbs which I’d never heard of, and it’s such an interesting experience in tea. One is a type of moss and it makes such pale tea, it’s so unusual. I’m loving trying them all.
I also love lemongrass spearmint tea, and rooibos and honey bush teas from South Africa which a friend sends me.
Pu’er (fermented black tea sold in big solid disks or chunks) it’s nice and dark, reminds me of coffee. I also enjoy iron goddess(Tieguanyin) oolongs and white peony.
Y’all are actually into specific teas! I just like anything fruity, lol. Usually decaf, because my body despises caffeine.
I buy from a local tea store that does fantastic blends.
For basics, I like green tea with honey and a squeezed lemon or chamomile with honey. Both are so soothing.
Learning about old people drama, its so interesting to find out about a 30 years old beef that never gets squashed
I love strong black teas. English Bteakfast is my go to, but I love a good PG tips now and again.
