      If someone can recommend an Earl Grey, that would be nice. I'm pretty basic when it comes to tea brands (but I do enjoy trying out different Grey's in different coffee/tea shops).

        I miss the days of the greasy spoon with the urn that just kept adding tea bags and water to it, could almost have the spoon standing in the mug sometimes

          @Nick not strictly Earl Grey, but my usual tea/coffee merchant does this Blue Sky tea which might work for you.

                    I also enjoy the spicy and astringent flavours of Chinese and Taiwanese teas, but for some reason I happen to buy more Japanese tea. Even though I sometimes feel they like to keep their best teas to themselves :).

                              Also calling @seashift as he (or more likely Nadia) may have something to contribute here.

                              @ARNC Ha, she is definitely more versed than I am in this, but I have had the pleasure of dabbling in the dark arts of the whites, greens, various needles of silver and Pu'er. But, being a man of simple tastes, this has been my daily driver recently:

                                I have always been a coffee drinker enjoying both the coffee but also the ceremony. Unfortunately, massive amounts of caffeine don’t agree with me lately so I have been drinking more and more tea. So glad this thread is here, will get some pics of my teas tomorrow!
