We just tried the tea A$ got me from Coonoor, India! It's orange pekoe from Nonsuch Tea Estates. It brews up into a beautiful reddish color, which looks like Assam tea but tastes very different. be and i both agreed it's much lighter, dryer and more fragrant. We used some white sugar to sweeten it up; i never got into the lemon, sugar and cream that some people do. Generally i don't like tea or coffee with milk product, except for chai.I can't believe Lipton tea is also orange pekoe! Lipton brand is very cheap, but honestly you're paying for tea dust and who-knows-what in that tea bag. Loose tea is much, much better. Maybe more people in the U.S. would drink it if they knew how good real, loose tea was! And as for "flavored" tea: overall i'm anti, just like i'm anti "flavored" coffee. I'm not drinking coffee to have it taste like cinnamon buns - why not just eat a real cinnamon bun? Or strawberry-kiwi tea, what weirdness it that?
