I am used to blended black Darjeeling tea (e.g., Lipton Green Label), mainly bought at various Indian grocery stores in Ohio. I would like to move up to better quality Darjeeling teas.
I am looking for suggestions on where to buy this using mail-order. Also, which specific tea (blended, or single garden) would you folks suggest?
Color is not important to me, flavor is. I grew up used to adding milk and sugar to tea, but now I drink it black (no milk or sugar).
I am willing to spend a bundle to see what's the best out there. I believe that the best tea comes from the "bud" (that is plucked along with two adjacent leaves). Any suggestions to help me get started?
Thanks
