Tea

[Sundae]

Rich it's all down to personal taste.
To me, "proper" tea (a stronger version of English Breakfast Tea) flows through my English veins. Even if I have to drink de-caff now on my GP's advice - it's not as grim as de-caff coffee, but I miss some of the flavour.

Different teas for different times of day and different reasons. My Mum is a heavy tea drinker, but she has Camomile and Lemon. She can't bear Nettle at any price but I love it. We both like Earl Grey but she drinks it with lemon (sacrilege! like putting Diet Coke in a fine malt!)

From that list:
# Assam Estate - I like Assam
# Keemun Panda - nope, no idea
# Lapsang Souchong - to delicate for me, an aquired taste
# Nile Delta Camomile - not for me
# Peppermint - love it, great diet tea, fills you up and gives the feeling you've just cleaned your teeth. Refreshing too.
# Rooibos - again - great on diets, a good afternoon tea
# Spearmint - never tried. Sounds grim
# Tibetan Wild Lavender - perhaps worth a punt, will be aromatic so depends how you feel
# Darjeeling Estate - yup. Good standard tea
# Earl Grey - yes, yes. Black for me but can be served with a dash of milk. Never lemon.
# English Breakfast - yes, yes, yes. Make it strong enough to trot a mouse across. Pref with milk
# Genmaicha Japanese Green - not sure - have had green tea - don't know if this is the same though. Traditional Japanese tea isn't suitable for Western palates
# Irish Breakfast - that's Guinness isn't it?
# Jasmine with Flowers Green - lovely & aromatic
# Pai Mu Tan Chinese White - no clue
# Pi Lin Gunpowder Green - I like gunpowder tea. Nan used to take us to Chinese restaurants to drink it. An acquired taste, but a real palate cleanser.
# Sencha Japanese Green - see above re Japanese tea
# Kenya Estate - no idea
# Malawi Estate - no idea
# Nandi Safari Kenyan White - no idea
# Nuwara Eliya Estate - no idea
# Rwanda Estate - no idea (prob all specific blends, but with colonial influence may have a similarity to English tea)
