Default Kenyan tea?

Hi Frieda,

Agreed. They are two different animals, Assam and Kenyan. Both are fully
oxidized, but that's where it ends. I like Kenyan also, although I have to
admit that the more physically beautiful leaf is still produced in Assam,
perhaps because they've been at it longer -- I think. (I'm speaking of Assam
at it's best, not at it's typical.)

Nothing but Tea. See Lew's previous post for the URL. Last time I looked
they had three different versions for sale.
