Re: What Is Best Tasting Black Tea

Yorkshire Gold but if you want something less expensive try Tetley

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Red Rose is nasty, IMHO.

I love Lipton. Perhaps you're steeping it too long??

PS - Teamonger did NOT let me select my samples.

not sure what happened JJ....you have to click on "choose my samples" (which is under the "surprise me". a drop down list will appear, choose one sample, then click on "select this tea" it will add it to your list and then you will choose two more samples the same way.

Re: What Is Best Tasting Black Tea

Teamonger did not accept my e-mail address. ???????? But, I did get to select my teas. They said I needed to put it in the correct format???????? name@domain.com and, of course, that is what my e-mail address is. Oh, well, I'll try it again and if it doesn't go through, I will just forget it.

I like Ashby's tea. Made in England with a wide assortment of flavors. Overall, in my opinion, Darjeeling is a wonderful tea in most brands.

P.S. Went back and it went through this time. Thanks for the site.

Re: What Is Best Tasting Black Tea

Hi, I used to only drink Yorkshire Gold ,which I found at Draegers (I live in the San Francisco bay area) BUT since finding Harney and sons I am hooked..

Try Harney and sons Vanilla combo,a light blended black tea with natural vanilla flavors.

OR Harney and sons PARIS which has become one of my favorites,,this is a fruity black tea with a hint of lemony bergamot

OR Harney and sons Pumpkin spice, or Holiday..

For their green tea, there is nothing better than Harney and sons green tea with thai flavors, this has lemon grass,shredded coconut,natural coconut, natural vanilla and ginger flavors,,this is very soft and not a strong taste,,very silky when swallowing and soothing. I took this tea with me on my recent trip to Colorado and had to leave the tin as my daughter in laws mother loved it and could not find it there.

Along with the better grocery stores,,I ordered a lot from AMAZON.COM they have tons.

Re: What Is Best Tasting Black Tea

THE best tea I have ever had is Mariage Freres. You can find it at Cultured Cup and Market (can't remember the rest of the name!) online. I am not a fan of flavored teas, but their almond and vanilla ones are wonderful. They have superb tea, not cheap but wow is it good. And HARD to find. Also, Williams-Sonoma (yes I live there!) has Fortnum and Mason teas and be sure to try them--especially ON SALE!!!!!!!

Bigelow Lemon Lift, black tea with lemon and a hint of spice, been a fave of mine for years.


Same Here...... love that Lemon Lift!!!

Also really like the Constant Comment flavor by Bigelow, it is black tea with

an orange spice hint, very delicious.

Sometimes I like having White Tea, when I am in the mood for a more

mild light taste. Smile

Re: What Is Best Tasting Black Tea

This question is so subjective. I prefer Assam and China black tea. I've been buying from Harney Tea about twelve years.

Re: What Is Best Tasting Black Tea

I gave up coffee cold turkey a couple years ago and have found these black teas have made my favorites list:

Typhoo is just not strong enough for me. Love Yorkshire (red box) but it will stain everything -- be warned.

Barry's has been a nice surprise and PG Tips is growing on me. A very decent cup of tea.
