What Is Best Tasting Black Tea

I always loved Red Rose tea but lately I haven't been enjoying it as much. I then tried lipton tea and just don't like this one. What are your favorite teas.

I like Twinings Afternoon Tea. Its a little stronger than their Breakfast tea which is good also.

Bigelow English Breakfast or English Tea Time.

I agree with betteb ---- Bigelow. I drink the English Breakfast in the pink box. Love!

If you are talking store bought, and just plain black tea, this is a tough question! I hardly ever get store bought any more. (I am very partial to Harney & Sons.) I never cared for Lipton (but I like Lipton's flavored greens.)

Forget Salada! And Red Rose. I used to get that all the time, but perhaps they did alter their blend, or met with some natural "disaster" in recent tea production. ?

What I have found, however, is that "generic" store brands seem to be the best as far as a mellow cup of black tea. The last black store brand I got was Wegman's. (For making plain old iced tea for a party.) Since they all wanted it sweetened, I only sipped a little to adjust the sugar. And it was fine!

Sometimes I make the Wegman's in order to add lots of lemon & honey.

Acme used to have a nice store brand, too. But, um, Acme went by way of the Road Runner!

Just make sure you do not over steep. You can do that with Harney. I never get bitter tea from them, even if I get too busy and neglect to take out the tea leaves.

Since I discovered Harney & Sons, I can't drink any other brand. For black tea, their Irish Breakfast and English Breakfast are delicious.

twinings has a variety pack of black teas that you may want to look for. that way you get to try several at once and you can then go and purchase your favorites.
