Looks like a very popular tea from T2Tea. Thanks for sharing!

That's a tough question. It depends on how much you can spend and what you are looking for.

I recommend samples, that way you can try many types of tea without too much money or commitment. You can try a single tea from each tea type and explore from there.

Yunnan Sourcing website does many samples. That's just my go to, but I know there are many other sites others would recommend. For more black tea blends, like your English breakfast, try Upton Tea Imports.

But if want even less of a commitment than that, try just spending more for your tea from the store than you usually do. Price does equal quality for most teas you'll buy. Trying whole leaf tea will get you higher quality teas as well.

Interesting! I've only tried a few of the more widely available bottled teas, which I don't care for, but this looks like something I'd like to give a try. Thanks for recommending!

Agreed. I wish those first 3 steeps kept going. But I do still enjoy the journey.

Don't feel bad. If you enjoy your tea, then it's a good tea!

English breakfast is always a safe bet. Where do you buy the golden oolong? Is that tea in a bottle? That's what I found when I searched.

😄 You were drinking the good stuff to start. Gotta balance tastes with your wallet now. 🥲

I do enjoy the experience of a good Dan Cong. I just wish they resteeped more times, so the vivid taste experience doesn't end so soon. 😋

Expensive tastes 😋😅

One light and one with bite. 😋

I started my tea journey with Upton Tea. That first one sounds like a wild mix of flavors! Sounds like you enjoy bold flavors.

I haven't tried much vanilla in tea. Where do you buy it from?
