Punjana loose tea. Strong, with a splash of milk.
Upton Tea Imports has a wonderful tea that goes well with my English and Balkan tobacco blends, Baker Street Afternoon Blend. It is Lapsang Souchong, blended with Keemun and Darjeeling.
1. First Flush Darjeeling- Currently going through Upper Namring Tea Estate - 2021
2. Regular Darjeelings - Mix of second flush or later harvests (Occasionally with a little first flush thrown in)
- Cutrently Lopchu Tea Estate Flowery Orange Pekoe is what I am drinking mostly. I also have Harney’s Darjeeling which I drink occasionally
3. Lapsang Souchong (Latakia of teas)
4. Puh Err also from Harney
5. A black Oolong from Taiwan
6. When I am in a hurry - A basic black tea from Costco
I also have a selection of teas for occasional drinking.
7. A beautiful Earl Grey from Harney. Used to drink it more earlier, but now less often
8. Ceylon Vintage Silver TIps - Exceptional white tea on its own, but I always compare it with first flush Darjeelings and it always fall short
9. I have a fruity Chinese black tea (Golden Yinzhen) - Exceptional fruity aroma in an orange colored brew. However I find it too fruity and drink less occasionally and will not restock
10. Tisanes like Chamomile

Breakfast teas mostly. Don't remember last time I had oolong tea or jasmine tea. Or any high end teas.
I drink tea sometimes. No sugar, no milk.
Lapsang souchong, assam, rooibos.
There is also a certain earthy russian tea.

Not heard of that one. Looks extremely weak….or do you go heavy on the milk?
When I have tea, it better have ice in it and be Lipton's. It is the tea of us peasants.
I drink one large cup of Earl Grey, I purchase from Adagio, each day after dinner. I could easily fall into the Tea game but am avoiding the temptation. I like a number of green teas I've tried but they're a bit mild.
I had an inkling you might.
Not knocking it, was just curious if it was the tea or not.
in order to save my money,for some time now I went into standard Indian domestic CTC teas , Brands like Tata Premium and Gold, Tai Mahal, and Wagi Baghri Premium, these are not high-end by any means but sure provide serious strength, milk&sugar are a must with aforementioned ones
My mom visited recently and left this behind. For anybody who likes Latakia, I highly recommend. I added some honey and pollen and actually really enjoyed it. I smoked a straight VA with it and couldn't believe the Latakia-type essence it had.
Very interesting - never seen this before. Will keep an eye out.
I am a big fan of tea -- chinese black teas like Keemun or golden monkey are my favorites. Enjoy robust breakfast teas and assam. Always have a green on hand as well, sencha.
