How do you take your tea?

I drink the shit out of some PG Tips. I get it in the ethnic foods aisle at Publix. Milky af.

I liked Genmaicha in my favorite sushi restaurant, but the one I bought in tea bags was nothing special.

In terms of black tea I've found a supermarket own make asaam to be rather good.

I've been drinking straight old Pu Er or any kind of Japanese green tea for years, a few cups a day. Used to bring all my teas from China and Japan before the lockdowns. Running low on my stocks these days.

I especially like good Genmaicha, the one with roasted rice.

Sometimes I like that Chinese tea which comes in large pressed bricks and which you have to break off to brew. Can't recall its name now. But it can be too flavourful sometimes.

Pu er is good. Genmaicha too is a favourite. Though I've found it's really easy to find Genmaicha in the west so familiarity could be lessening how much I rate it.

One I really love and can never find outside Japan is soba cha.
Also like a decent kuki cha.

Kuki-cha is great, very unique taste. Sadly, soba-cha gives me a massive allergy (soba itself, too) so we only make mugi-cha to drink cold. Very nice in summer!

Working with a gaggle of Englishmen and women for six months I got on the tea train. An afternoon cup with dash of milk. Becaus of our remote location on side of mountain in SE Alaska it was mostly PG or Yorkshire as hard to bring in bulk.

I can see a team effort being required.

My tea caddy needs replacing, so why is it so hard to find a new one, my only option seems to be mail/internet order from a specialist tea or coffee company? 

IIRC in the past one would often see more premium quality teas sold in a tin caddy or if within central London one of those dreadful Big ben/grenadier guard shaped tins sold to tourists.

I make tea usually using English Tea regular, sometimes French vanilla or Earl Grey, with honey added.

Lately been drinking Hot Chocolate at times, finding it a nice change of pace from coffee.

Co-incidentally I too have recently taken up drinking cocoa of an evening and you're right about it been a nice change of pace, got me thinking about cutting back on my caffeine intake.

Good idea. The hot chocolate I drink is over 99% caffeine free. I already drink decaf coffee anyway, started that years ago. For one, I was annoyed with getting headaches on weekends if I didn't drink coffee right away. I think I feel better without the caffeine as I don't feel that I get the high from caffeine with the low/fatigue after the caffeine wears off.
