Milk Oolong from China is the best tea I ever tried!

Do you freeze milk just in case the prices go up?

I don't drink milk you philistine

Your a terrible person. You would probably be a better person if you liked tea.

It's hard to find good tea here. I drink a lot of coffee and then tea when people visit from England and bring me some.

When I do drink tea though, I like it strong enough to stand a spoon up in.

Agreed. Which is why I recognise what a t*** I've been.

Just assumed it was a load of faffing about and generally more messy. Plus i'm a lazy bastard who likes to keep things simple and that equated to tea bags.

Blowing the dust off this old thread.

Finally taken the plunge into making loose leaf tea, having found that my favourite Keemun is becoming increasingly hard or even impossible to find in teabag form. So purchased a f***-off big back of loose leaf Keemun and i'm away and disappointed with myself for waiting so long because it turns out to not be a pain in the arse to make as i'd always assumed.

So, any advice on obscure loose leaf brands I should be trying?
