Hey. You guys know everything, so: does anyone out there know about tea? Specifically, I'm looking for loose-leaf tea that I can buy online that is very, very tasty. Like, a nice assortment of it, maybe. Like, if you were going to get loose-leaf tea as a present, what specific teas would you want

Thank you!

Any particular type or flavor you suggest? How do you pick teas? How do you tell what is a tasty tea that a person might like to get as a gift?

Well. I've seen her drink, um, like Jasmine and vanilla tea, and like them a lot. And she seems to like mostly black teas - Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Darjeeling. I've never seen her drink chai. She'd probably love mint tea. (Or anything with ginger. The woman is a ginger fiend.) So I guess - strong-flavored teas and tea blends? I'm just guessing, though.

Does any of that seem to point in a specific direction?

Hm, I'm not sure about the English Breakfast, but the other kinds you mentioned aren't that strong-flavoured, they have a lighter taste. So I'd think twice about an Assam (they're often strong-flavoured - and very good in my opinion. :) )
