I am the only one who drinks black teas. Drinking good black tea is a luxury that I do over weekends. Weekdays daytime I am at work where I don't drink premium quality teas or taste new ones. Weekdays evenings I drink different teas. Usually either new teas or finishing samples of the old new teas
Then on new teas again. Like right now. I wanted to investigate green teas. Got a sample pack of 24 green teas. Tried all of them. Liked 3. Not sure about 2 others. Finishing off samples now
When I finish the greens, I will start with oolong, although there will be less to taste. Smaller variety, more expensive.
Then white teas. Again, smaller variety, more expensive. Although, I suspect white teas are not my cup of tea. Even the most expensive tea that I have ever drunk (
£24 per 100gr) didn't impress me more than - nice, good, white tea (I got a free sample from NBTea).
So, I cannot have 10 different black teas opened. they will go bad if I leave them opened for years. I have 3 now. Assam Harmutty, English Breakfast from Bath and Keemun from Bath.

There is no tea aftertaste with it. Once you swallow it's gone.

Interesting. I have bad reminiscences of Twining's 'Prince of Wales'.
Why? No idea. I tried it (summer 2006) on my summer holiday in Prague and was desperate to drink black tea...in bags naturally
When I bought a pack of Twining's 'Prince of Wales' in bags I thought it is a standard black tea. You had to see my face when I tasted it. I thought it was the worst tea I have ever tried. Threw away the whole pack of 24 bags. No. 23. My wife tried one too. It would be interesting to try it now and see how my palate dis/likes the flavour.
