lapsang souchong is really good. I brew loose leaf. It Has a nice smokey flavor that compliments english blend tobacco so well. Early grey I like too because it compliments SP snuff variants both usually contain bergamot/citrus notes. English Breakfast is a close third place.
It's interesting...I brew looseleaf tea yet prefer instant coffee. Go figure.

Must of been one I liked because as I was going through my 36 samples, I marked it as a favorite. I’ll be ordering more. Out of 36, I narrowed it down to 13 I liked. So now I can order with confidence.xtian wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2024 1:27 pm lapsang souchong is really good. I brew loose leaf.

Glad you like the green @Piping AbePiping Abe wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 10:47 am Wish I did this from the start. I ordered a bunch of Samplers. So far i’ve had probably between 10-20 samples and i’ve found 4 i’d reorder. Order a bunch of a tea you never tried isn’t the best thing to do as now I have a lot of Tea that I barely drink. But I do use it to make Iced Tea. Tea is so cheap, like Pipe Tobacco. It’s easy to order a bunch.
Adiago has great single serve samples. Open the bag, pour it in. Doesn’t get any easier. Then I just add it to my favorites on the Website. I’ve been really liking the Green Teas. Thanks for the suggestion @ric03

I tend to drink it in the afternoon mostly. It's supposed to have multiple health benefits, even just a cup a day, I believe. You should try Pukka's Supreme Matcha Green if you can find any other there, it's lovely and refreshing

Jasmine Green Tea
Lapsang Souchong
Earl Grey
Black Snail
I also got a free sample of some White Tea and it was wonderful. Lapsang Souchong, I ordered a huge bag. It is like the DFK or Latakia of Tea. Nice and Smokey. But I reach for Earl Grey the most.
I thought I always wanted more citrus or bergamont in my Earl Grey, but usually the stronger flavored ones make it overly sweet.
I have a kettle at work as well but I just used bagged Twinnings there. But I really wish I had my loose leaf tea there. I may have to make the move and commit.

Lapsang Souchong will always remain my favorite. It's how I fell in love with loose leaf tea originally. I am still working through a pound bag of it!xtian wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2024 1:27 pm lapsang souchong is really good. I brew loose leaf.

It doesnt have teh kick of some other Breakfast teas but its very smooth . Im digging it . Just finished a bowl of SPBC in the Savnelli I got for Christmas , which Im calling my Avianna pipe , after my wonderful granddaughter . The pipe lasted forever and it was wonderful
