          The best Earl Grey I've ever had is without a doubt, Earl Grey Supreme from Char Tea in Winchester, England. And an honorable mention to their Lady Winchester tea as well. Their smoked Earl Grey is pretty fun too, although not something I want to drink every day.

          But since I quit caffeine over a year ago, the best decaf Earl Grey that I can find is from Republic of Tea, and it's pretty good, I guess. If anyone has any recommendations for a really good decaf Earl Grey, I'm all ears.

                  Harney & Sons is my favorite brand. They have an Indigo tea called Indigo Punch:

                  I have tried it and it's pretty good for a fruity tea! Has anyone else tried this one? Kind of a novelty tea I suppose.

                    Hah I got stuck looking at the indigo punch for a bit whilst browsing... Not very into fruit(y) teas though (except for hibiscus)...

                      Oh boy. The amount of times I've witnessed tea-murder. Soooo much milk and sugar, it's more of a milkshake than a cuppa. Blasphemous stuff. Makes me want to flip tables over*.

                        @Seul It's an eye catcher for sure...it almost tastes like a fruit punch juice, so pretty fruity indeed.

                                my wife drinks tea all day long and we make home homemade Kombucha. The most economical way to purchase is buying in bulk from a local Co-op. we make Kombucha starting with English black tea and adding sugars and fruits and fermenting.

                                we also buy a Chai, dandelion root, marshmallow root and and many others. sweeten with maple syrup or honey and we use coconut milk in lieu of dairy creamers.

                                We have purchased from Teabox.com before and were really happy with the quality and freshness of their Chai regional variety pack.

                                    No pics for right now, but have come back from a few international trips with an appreciation for the local teas that have made it into our daily routines. They tend to rotate through in phases now.

                                      That indigo tea looks wild. I'd try that.
                                      I have a daily tea ritual after I finish my Yeti fullo coffee. I wash it out, fill with cold water and throw in a bag of Uncle Lee white tea and just let it steep cold for like 6 hours till my drive home so I have a commute bev. It's light and refreshing and totally basic.

                                        @RobeOfTheMagi I love Sencha, Kukicha and Bancha... Granted I've only tried the basic ones... And Matcha seems too much hassle... For some reason...

                                        It has struck me that I started a tea thread without knowing pretty much anything about, y'know, tea... I've been drinking it for nearly 35 years but yeah...

                                          I am no master on the subject, I just really, really enjoy drinking and savouring tea. It's such an enriching topic.

                                            This morning I had a cold brew of Fukamushi Sencha. Fukamushi is when the producer steams the tea leaves for a longer than usual time. That'll produce a more broken down leafy needle and a more vibrant green cup of tea. It works really well with cold water; you just let the tea steep for 20 minutes in cold water.
