Right.
Never really been into tea, in fact I probably couldn't count the number of years since I last had a cup on two hands. But I had a cup about a fortnight ago with some cake at Pauls and it was awesome. It was apparently some sort of English Breakfast but I've not been able to replicate it.
I had it without milk and it was fairly light and fragrant.
Any recommendations for similarly light, golden teas. Not looking for anything too dark, malty or strong.
I bought a few boxes the other day including Darjeeling, Ceylon, English Breakfast and today some Lapsang Souchong.
Have been having them all without milk, English breakfast brewed fairly weakly is my favourite so far with darjeeling a close second. Gotta say though, I thought the Lapsang was pretty foul. It was Twinings if that makes any difference. It was basically like drinking non-alcoholic scotch. So peaty and smokey - really didn't do it for me.
Can anyone recommend any good tea books or resources to learn from?
