I’m an earl grey with honey man, but if I’m being honest, I’ve never really tried much else.

    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.

    Drinking EG with a splash of milk right now.

    My favs:

    • British version of Twinings breakfast tea extra strong with milk (not the US version)
    • British Assam of Twinings with a splash of milk
    • Peach Green Tazo from Target, raw

    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.

    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.
