    I got into strong teas because of a one time Kenyan roommate that shopped the African groceries and brought home this stuff that was brilliant orange-red and strong as coffee

    My other criteria is the bag has got to be able to do a 12 oz cup.
    The gold is pretty strong, the reg one (red label) less so but has a malty-er taste if you are into that. There are definitely stronger teas out there.
    They advertise it as 2 bags for a 4 cup teapot so works fine for me in a 12oz mug but I typically make a pot of loose leaf.

    As for Red Rose, I find it weak and not the best tasting, I would buy Tetley over it.

    If you have a store with British products, the UK PG Tips is decent too (the stuff in pyramid bags, not the weak stuff they sell here)

    Ok, so i received the 2 bag Tetly Signature Tea in the Sample Source. You know, the one with the drawstrings. I made the tea today and i used the drawstrings but i didnt really find it draws all the tea like squishing the bag with a spoon. Anyway, let me know if its only me or what.

    Tea isn't meant to be squished so it allows the 'proper' amount out, but as a squisher, I agree. The Vanilla one releases lots of vanilla but not much tea

    My usual cup of tea is... peppermint

    If I really want a break I make a cup of... peppermint or sleepy time.

    My tea cupboard is clogged with old boxes of... earl grey (used to be my fathers favorite, with a little bit of evaporated milk).


    If I were to give a gift of tea, I'd give... Oregon Chai concentrate http://tidewatercoffee.com/shop/oreg...e-concentrate/

    The tea I'm drinking now is... drinking coffee, but will have peppermint later on.
