Mariage Freres. Got the chance to visit their original location while in Paris. Good Tea, and my favorite is Eros.

Also, Harrod's does a great english breakfast called Morning.

They have a couple of stores in Japan too. Good quality tea.

My favorite Sencha teas happen to be grown locally....we usually drink Uji Miyabi and Uji Asamushi for everyday and handpicked Uji Gyokuro for special times and guests…..drinking some Miyabi at the moment.

For cold weather I’ll usually drink a good Bohea Hong Cha.

Green Jasmine or chai

chai's no good unless it's assam & brewed w/ cardamom.

Earl Grey, genmaicha or Constant Comment, mostly straight up, but sometimes with a little milk, and often accompanied by peanut M&Ms, (I don't know why they go so well with tea, but they do.) I like most all tea except for the rooibos or red tea, just never gain much of a taste for it.

Herb teas good, chai tea possibly good.

Regular tea is just plain yik.

And I'm a Brit.

I've spent my whole life explaining that one.

This stuff has cardamom in it and its rocks. I love the stuff hopelessly.

Everything goes good with peanut M&Ms

Does anyone remember a Celestial Seasonings herbal called Emperor's Choice? It came in the groovy light blue box, back ca. late 70s-late 80s.

Good stuff....lots of ginseng. I used to drink that by the box with a good friend and we'd stay up all night jamming.

A good steaming cup of chai with whole milk or cream is wonderful on a frosty winter morning.

Oh yes. Add a tablespoon of honey to mine please. Pure indulgence.

How can I choose? Tea is awesome.

Well, if I really had to pick, ginger tea with honey when I'm sick, matcha when I have the time to actually prepare it properly with the whisk and all (extremely rarely), thai tea with boba when it's hot, and English breakfast with cream and honey when it's cold.

I used to drink that too, very tasty.

I drink a lot of herbal teas (trying to avoid caffeine), but my favorites taste-wise are Oolong, Jasmine, Green (especially with toasted rice) and Earl Grey. I drink mine straight up. Loose-leaf is best, of course.
