I've been a Harney & Sons tea drinker for running on 10 years now, I believe. In fact, I have a cup of Hot Cinnamon Spice next to me right now, which was my first foray into loose-leaf tea. My preference is the Chinese black teas, but I'm starting to branch out into the Ceylon teas. I like Assam, but my wife...not so much.
Not to start a flame war or anything, but I can't really abide with the teas that are usually sold to the British. The CTC (crush, tear, curl) process really turns on some bitterness that I find offputting. Give me a real leaf any time, even the Indian teas as the British drink, but the pucker is just too much for me in something like a P.G. Tips.
