What is the best type of tea?

London Chinatown.

hmmm, I don't live near London. Unless you are refering to a chain of shops or a brand?

Hello Lorenzo_H,

Darjeeling.
Earl Grey.
Cheylon.
Assam Garden for the nice odour. Taste is 'subtle'.

Green tea is nice too, almost all of them are more subtle than black tea.

Maybe you can find 'tryout' collections and see what matches you best?

Twinings makes good bags, but it may not suit you and/or the milage of vendors differ in other countries. Twinings offers those collections, I only see http://shop.twiningsusa.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=141 now, but I recall others.

Perhaps this site is of use to you? http://www.twiningsusa.com/ http://www.twinings.com/home.php

Thanks for that opinion. Earl Grey I have tried and liked, the rest I have seen but cannot remember tasting.

I like Twinings very much. I am a big fan of their "Everyday," "English Breakfast," (what is the difference anyway between those two?) and "Earl Grey." I have also tasted their "Chai" which seems to be quite nice, I like the cinnemon. Twinings USA may not help me, but the other one certainly.

On Nettle Tea; I can't remember drinking it, but I do like the taste of fresh Nettle leaves. Quite risky to eat though - one must squeeze them very hard, and avoid rubbing the leaf, especially the edge. Once you get them into your mouth they are fine.
