Oddly, I've kind of gone off Earl. Mostly drinking straight black teas from India these days rather than flavoured or blended ones.

I've heard of it but haven't tried it. I have had the related rooibos but am not fond of it. I tend to prefer either tea from the tea plant (so the traditional black and green teas as well as pue'rh and white at times) or an herbal/fruit mix (I'm just going to make a cup of one called Lime Fizz).

I am not a lover of green tea. I really tried to develop a taste for it since it's so good for you, but recently, I discovered Oolong, which is coincidently the one usually served in Chinese restaurants. I thought that was green tea, but it was the only kind I liked. Turns out it's not actually. Anyway, I enjoy making a pot of that every day now.

Oolong is kind of midway between green and black. I like it, too, but it tend to be pricey. Mostly comes from Fujian province in China and Taiwan.

This isn't likely the quality you're referring to, but I find it acceptable. Pretty cheap at Food Basics

I buy looseleaf and it's a more specialty variety. I am bit of a tea connoisseur . Interestingly, it's the only tea I will put dairy in. A long time ago, I tried a David's flavour called Guangdong Milk Oolong that had natural cream as flavouring. I loved it, but quickly realized it was cheaper if I bought a plain oolong and just put a small shot of cream myself. I only drink that at work, though, since we don't have cream around at home whereas work always has it in the fridge for the coffee crowd.

Impressive
Not merely Oolong but
THE Oolong
The Platonic Ideal of Oolong? :3

Thus we go OOlong as we cannot be still and log the nonsense! Perhaps on looseleaf ... that's reticence (said to be a quality of reserve and standing back or down and watching for the backflash).

Still it reminds me of backwater establishments ... Black Pool ... with tongue in cheek! Head men are like that ... truth is hard, difficult, any way you cast it ... to a "T"? Transference ... as it goeth down ...

Yep it’s like that.

I’m a coffee drinker myself. It even helps me sleep sometimes if I’m awake and can’t slow my brain down, which is weird. I bought a package of decaf chai spice tea on sale maybe 6 months ago, that was good, but haven’t been able to find it again.
