Brit's and tea connoisseurs, please spill the tea on tea taste and briskness :)
Brands?

Harney and Son's has a good variety of loose leaf black and flavors are delightful. I've never stayed up later in my life and woken up after less sleep with so much energy. I don't recommend drinking after 12 noon, I do need recommendations for an afternoon tea, now that I understand wtf this means. Harney and Son's Florence flavor tastes like Chocolate hazelnut with cream and sugar.

Numi brand is nice too, I throughly enjoy the white tea however the caffeine content, even though white tea is less caffeinated, isn't helping me go to bed at a decent hour. Numi, white rose with cream and sugar taste like a rose flavored Turkish delight.

I was very disappointed with the English breakfast, maybe I should try a loose leaf?

Fuck tea bags, yey or ney?

I say fuck tea bags.

No herbal recommendations please, those are for the unrefined taste buds. Unless it's loose.

Here is my collection, more on the way.

I buy Yorkshire teabags, am an occasional tea drinker though so cannot offer any expert advice

But , when I was a kid and used to visit my great grandmother there was always a fresh pot of tea made with loose tea, she would stand it on the hearth so it stayed warm

Her little house had no hot water or inside toilet, was a typical 2 up-2 down cottage with only a fireplace for warmth

No fridge either just a pantry with a marble shelf

But, that tea......was like blinking nectar !!

Organic Gunpowder Green from Harney and Son's, had my first cup this morning, actually 2 cups. I cannot sweeten or cream green teas, the sharp taste for me is just perfect without it, I imagine this is what it would be like to drink coffee black for the coffee drinkers. Needs nothing. Nothing beats the loose leaf, the republic of tea pictured is in bags, I wasted $14 on that but the Gunpowder Green is just what the alertness doctor ordered. I feel high as fuck on this, makes me want to talk a lot and clean, I even feel a poop coming on for the third time this morning. Excuse me while I kiss the throne, du na na, na na na, Jimmy Hendrix.

I need a brand that sells Japanese loose leaf please!

Thank you for sharing that beautiful memory! I agree, Granny probably had the best tasting tea!

Numi is in bags, I also have a roobios chia, I'm not a fan of the roobios but I could be if it were loose. I also have a green jasmine in Numi brand, those are not pictured in the OP.

This is a good brand for tea bags, the flavor is what the package says and there is no perfume or chemical taste like with other perfume flavors with jasmine.

Roobios is an herbal, no caffeine at all. Maybe I should just drink that?

Is this Ki from youtube?

I like Earl Grey, Chamomile, and Ginger tea.

Be wary, tea has a lot of fluoride in it.

For me, the key to a good cup of tea is decent water, not tap water. Better in a pot as well, I would say.

I've read this, I will pick up some filtered water today. Is temperature important too? Instructions have different temps, I know Jasmine is lower temp.

These are the flavor profiles for Paris and Cherry Harney and Son's, my daughter drinks these I haven't tasted them yet.
