My preferred bag tea is Taylors Yorkshire Red, though PG Tips is a close
second. Taylors Yorkshire Gold I don't like nearly as well despite its
being a 'higher quality' tea. I do not like Typhoo, find Liptons
tolerable, but prefer loose teas if possible. I don't really have a
favorite loose tea, I keep trying different ones. Currently I have Taj
Majal. There is a tea shop at the mall in town and occassionally I buy
something there which is usually heavenly, but way to pricey for my
everyday consumption. Its fun though, smelling the teas in the
different bins trying to decide what to buy and then asking them to brew
me a cup of my just purchased tea for the trip home.
