A strong flavored black tea that isn't to bitter. You sir have made me very jealous... weirdly despite the historic tea herritage it seems to be damn hard to get a good quality ceylon in the UK. Even the companies claiming to be "tea merchants" offer more in the way of coffee than tea :/ (I wouldn't class ceylon as strong though!) | ||

And my experience was that the tap water was really gross. What do you use to make tea? | ||

It's just awesome  | ||

I think we realy can't expect someone to know their stuff even after a few months of looking and asking around stores and what not. So don't be hating on them  Not hating on the people, just the tea. My friends will try to show me some stuff and I'm kind of a snob, I'll admit, but I just try to explain to them that they can't possibly fully appreciate a flavored version of Oolong until they've had regular loose leaf Oolong.

Mine is pretty boring but I can show if you want, but its just a lot of tins. Black tea > Coffee! Here's a couple pics for ya ^_^ A little dated, but my tea collection: ![[image loading]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/607/tea2.jpg/) This is my cousins' stash, but I gave him about half of it, which was stuff I got for him in Asia. He's the one who got me into tea, so I always got a bunch for him. ![[image loading]](http://i49.tinypic.com/e6tvfk.jpg) My favorite pic of all, I bought a LOT of tea on what I knew would be my last trip to Asia, it all fit, but then I had to figure out what to do with my clothes rofl. ![[image loading]](http://i49.tinypic.com/w1xjig.jpg) BTW, is there anyone else that simply types "tea" into their url bar to get teamliquid to come up every time? I love that about going to TL :D EDIT: EDIT2: nvm lol | ||

What do you use to make tea?I've had quite a lot of black tea when I was in England, for example Tetley classic black they are quite strong compared to the ones we have here. I don't drink a lot of black tea, only when there's no choice, this happens a lot when I'm not at home, so I always try bringing my own tea. Haven't tried it with fish & chips, the last time I had that I got like a bottom covered with fish and fries on top, which was enough for 2/3 persons lol. | ||

I've found there to be a lot of different tastes out there, I prefer the sweeter ones (hard to find) and also this one for beginners but eventualy I want to buy pinnacle grade because I learned to appreciate high grade quality since there is so much low quality Matcha which are not fresh, creamy and sweet. The store where they sell this kind of stuff is: http://www.hibiki-an.com/default.php/cPath/40?osCsid=5sla4tdj4kn3079kj5ahv4ts45![[image loading]](http://i46.tinypic.com/2lwrer4.png) | ||

Not to mention there are lots of teas who taste great if you let them cool down and then put them into the fridge for a delicious fresh selfmade and un-uber-sugared ice tea. =D | ||

Compared to you guys I'm a bronze league tea drinker. I'm a big fan of green tea and Earl Gray. I have at my school who's parents live in China, so every year she goes home, and she always buys me a bottle of Soy Sauce and some Sencha Green. | ||
