Curious. You said it over here and at the same time I said to my other half yesterday night that there is only one NBTea's tea I am interested in
Assam Hazelbank FTGFOP1 but I have many Assam teas from my February London foray that will last me for 1 year at the very least, so not even this one.
No black, green, oolong or pu-erh.
Well, I am lying. Their Sencha Uji and Dragonwell are good.
They are good for tisanes. Lapacho, Rooibos.
There is another online shop I would like to investigate but they are expensive and I am not sure it is justified. More likely that the prices are upped because they are dealing with Fair Trade whose certs probably cost a lot of money, thus rising products prices.
JING Tea. We will see.
I am going to shop around for Milk Oolong. I am surprised by the difference between the two I have tried so far. Also surprised by relative scarcity of the tea. Fortnum and Mason, The East India Company, Jing Tea, NBTea, Chah, Pekoe Tea, Eteaket do not stock it.
I brought a small sample of a good Milk Oolong (Tea House Emporium, Bath) to the office today to try it here.
Meanwhile, cuppa #2.
Assam Mangalam.
finished
