What is your favourite brand of commercial tea bags? I have moved to Maui from Boston and can only find 4 brands locally: Stash, St. Dalfour, Tetley and Lipton. I find these weak, weak, ok and coarse/too strong in flavour, respectively. Maybe I am steeping incorrectly (after all these years of drinking tea)? I used to live on Uptons and Ispahani tea (brought over on annual trips to Bangaldesh). I can't come near to getting a similar taste with the above four brands. Infrequently, I can find Twinings, but I never know what flavour they will stock. I favour a strong black tea with milk + sugar to start my day at work.
I find Upton's to be prohibitively expensive to ship to Maui. Can anyone suggest a similar flavoured tea (bags) that i can order line for less? Any suggestions to improve flavour of the 4 brands i mention, or even a local Hawaiian tea that isn't flavoured with nuts or fruits is welcome too.
Thanks
