What is the tea you always come back to?

Hello! Well... I am just about to make an order at Upton Teas (well, last topic made me realize that I have run out of Darjeeling ;) ) and I decided to ask you quite a strange question - Can you recommend me some tea?:)

I won't give any details - just please give me some tea that you really like that come to your mind right now. I drink all the types of tea but naturally there are thousands of them that I have not tried yet, so... I wanted to buy something more (as I am shipping to Europe I want to maximize the tea-price/shipping-cost ratio).

Thanks for any ideas ;).

Best regards and... Happy New Year!, Milo

I've liked all the organic Nilgiri from Upton I have tried. Toci

I highly recommend a yellow tea - Jun Shan Yin Zhen (ZG59). It is light and slighty fruity and doesn't get bitter - very easy to brew. I usually use the traditional Chinese method of just adding leaves to a tall glass of hot water. I then add more water as I get close to the bottom. Good luck! TokyoB

ZH52, Ancient Pu-Erh Mini Tuo Cha, is something that I order every month or two (used to take the 1kg sacks when that size was still around). I certainly come back to that one; it's become my basic bolay.

ZH80, Ancient Organic Green Pu-Erh Tuo Cha, though it is by far the most expensive tea on the Pu-erh page, is very good indeed. Shame they don't sell a sample of four mini-tuochas for say, $8 or so.

And speaking of Darjeeling from them, TD39 -- Makaibari Estate FTGFOP1 Second Flush -- is the one of the best for my taste that I've had in a long time. I'm not alone in my appreciation: "Replace the common corporate coffee with this tea, finish a full day'swork by mid-morning, dance & sing with friends until mid- afternoon & by evening write a book entitled, Ain't Gonna Rush No More. By night the wars end & birds speak. It's good tea." (taken from the review by a "Ken Lovesinger")

Happy Europe, Milo (years change with depressing predictability, but continents?)

Try the Panyong Congou, and the Malawi BOP. Two very different teas but both excellent and quite inexpensive. I like their second to lowest grade Keemun as well.
