oo! oo! great thread

Currently drinking Keemun black tea - looseleaf from the Baltimore Coffee & Tea Co.
Big fan of their loosleaf teas. It's a local establishment but they do mail-order too.

Also like their-
Apple Cinnamon & Vanilla (flavored black tea)
Red Bush Blood Orange (blood orange-flavored rooibos)
Egyptian Chamomile (haven't had it in a while, funny seeing a tin full of small dried flowers)
Black Currant (flavored black tea)
Earl Grey Green (haven't tried earl grey black yet, but I dig earl grey twinings)
Orange Mango (flavored black tea)
Pai Mu Tan (chinese white tea)
Chai Bengali (black chai tea)

For the US Twinings teabags I dig earl grey and lapsang souchong once in a while (lapsang souchong is great from the Balt. Coffee & Tea Co. but 4oz is way too much--that's something you can stand to drink *once in a while*)

I have some black chai tea in teabag form at home, think it's from "nature's promise." It's alright.

I've tried Jiaogulan tea before, that stuff actually has medicinal properties from what I've read (vaguely similar to ginseng in chemical makeup but different). I felt really fucking good after drinking it, I know that much. Very calm and "centered" for lack of a better word. I got it from here
