Tea Inventory

[omorka]

Gaah. Bread's not done yet. Fortunately, I did finish one stack of grading (terribly depressing, that), and I know I won't have time to finish a second one before the bread's done, so I'm taking a break and listing all the teas I currently have.

My list of currently owned teas is much, much shorter:

Tazo Earl Grey (Tazo)

I need more tea.

What sorts of teas do you enjoy? I could make a few recommendations off the list . . .

I'm not quite the experienced connoisseur others are. My family raised me for the longest time on simple Lipton's.

OTOH, I like Earl Grey (which, I admit, I tried for the first time way back when because Captain Picard liked it), "Breakfast Teas", that sort of thing.

Republic of Tea's British Breakfast is a good, strong, black breakfast tea. It will knock you out of bed in a big way. If you're interested in trying something a little more exotic along the same lines, Celestial Seasonings' Morning Thunder is a blend of black tea and mate that makes coffees bow down in respect. On the tamer side of things, Twinings has a good Irish Breakfast - a little brasher than an English Breakfast; it wants half-and-half or even cream instead of milk.

If you can find Stash's Empress Grey, you might give that a try; it's an interesting and, I think, very enjoyable variation on the Earl Grey. Twinings has a Lady Grey that's similar, if a little less nuanced.

My list is probably about this long. There's no way that I'll ever take the time to write them all down, though. :) Good for you!
