I consider myself something of a tea aficionado. By which I mean tea to me is not Lipton tea bags, it's a science, an art, and and a delicious drink best served hot and steeped from loose leaves, not bags
What are your favorite teas?
Personally, Darjeeling black is my favorite. Originating in West Bengal, India, Darjeeling comes in black, green, white, and oolong. Most Darjeeling you'll find out there is black, but scientifically speaking, they are technically more oolong-ish than black because of their incomplete oxidation.
For those unfamiliar with tea terms, black tea is probably the most oxidized variant of all the tea families. It tends to have the strongest flavor of the tea families. It also keeps its flavor longer. Green tea, for example, will hold its flavor for about a year after harvesting, whereas black tea can hold its flavor for several years.
One of the more common black tea blends is Earl Grey, another of my favorite teas, as well as English and Irish Breakfast teas. Black teas are pretty good for mornings, as they can replace your cup of nasty and unhealthy coffee with a morning caffeine infusion that is actually a little bit healthy for you.
