Welcome!
Sounds yummy but I know what you mean. I have a few like that. They taste good but they are lacking punch. I always get a kick out of watching the tea leaves unroll.

Sencha! The first Sencha of my life (sentient) .
I fixed myself a funny lunch, made of fresh steamed spinach (so lightly buttered) and butter fried slices of roe. what to drink? tea. I had a intact paper bag of Sencha! brewed in a design Japanese teapot that I got with the points of the market and drunk in one tiny Chinese thing with rice grains in the porcelain that I use for olive pits. Good? Nice accompaniment of my meal. Actually perfect. Long leaves. Yellowish. Pleasant. I will study it by itself now that we know each other.

Welcome to the wonderful world of really good green tea.

I'm with Betty... I'm going to try rooibos soon, but no chai anything for me. I don't even do blends that say "spice" after I got hold of the orange one that tasted like pepper.
Speaking of flavors though, does anyone know of a really strongly flavored apple black tea? I mean strong apple flavor, not strong tea flavor.

Lupicia has a green apple black tea that I was trying tos end you but it wouldn't fit in the box. I think you would like it.
