Darjeeling is the tea that inspired me to begin my beautiful journey through the wide world of tea and will always reign supreme in my tea pantry! My first tea love, so to speak. I positively adore a truly great Darjeeling such as a good muscatel second flush. Autumn flush Darjeeling, I believe, has been greatly under appreciated. Darjeeling autumn flush Gopaldhara Red Thunder Gold that I purchased through What-Cha is the best tea of any kind I have ever had the pleasure of drinking! I am most definitely a Darjeeling dude!
Other than my much beloved Darjeeling, teas that I especially enjoy are fine Keemun teas such as Keemun Hao Ya and Keemun Mao Feng or fine Ceylon teas – low, mid and high grown. I really love Earl Grey, rose and stout English Breakfast teas!
I have a fondness for most herbal teas – A complete rooibos fanatic! However, I absolutely detest hibiscus!
Blacks and herbals are my main go to teas. I have become quite British in my tea habits – My favorite guilty tea pleasure is Darjeeling with milk and honey as King Charles III takes his!
I try to purchase organic tea whenever possible.
