Jessica tells me that Tea Forte is very good for strongly flavored teas, but I find their selection to be both expensive and limited.
I have yet to find a premium black tea that is strongly enough flavored for my tastes (which seem to be very unusual, especially in this tea purist crowd, LOL). I like mine VERY strongly fruit flavored, and very sweet. My current favorite tea is (Prof.Crash, don't click the spoiler!! I won't be responsible!!)
So do some very fun experimenting and see what you like, and what you don't - but ultimately, don't forget to have fun in the journey!
