My wife did the same thing as every time last week when we were at the caves.

Brought me back an Earl Gray "because you hate English Breakfast Tea"...nope, it's the other way around...

Anyway, English Breakfast is up there, but my favourite is Australian Afternoon Tea.

http://www.twinings.com.au/range/black-tea/australian-afternoon-tea/

Our former P.M. Kevin Rudd designed it for a competition, the winner was to get their tea mass produced for three months.

Australia loved it, and it's been kept on in perpetuity.

Funny story, but when we went to the US last year, I took some to ensure that I could still enjoy my brew.

In Tombstone, Arizona, the guy running the indoor shooting range introduced himself as Kevin Rudd, and knew of our former Oz P.M.

So I got to give Kevin Rudd in Tombstone, some Aussie afternoon tea bags, designed by Kevin Rudd, the former P.M. of a continent haf a world away.
 
Twining's Earl Gray.
But it's rare for anybody in North America to make a decent cup of tea, so I normally drink coffee when I'm out.

Yep, I often asked for a mug of boiling water when out.

When we stayed at the Hilton Garden in NY in 2010, I left a note for the cleaners that I would like a few extra tea bags...they obliged, and I tipped them greatly when we left.

That's why last year I took my own.
 
I'm a coffee drinker, but I used to drink Assam fairly often. I thought it had a distinctive flavor compared to other black teas.

I like a cup of Lapsang Souchong once in awhile.
 
I'm having an Australian Afternoon tea right now, It's still officially morning though. It's a great tea and a good gift when traveling overseas.

My two favorites are Assam Bold and Yorkshire Red.

The worst is a Earl Grey with milk. Yuck !!!
However Early Grey with lemon is OK, but never my first choice.
 
Choysa, anything else is trendy. Staple of Kiwi smoko rooms for ages. That reminds me, we are out of it at work.

Yorkshire Gold if the water is sufficiently hard is really great.

I recommend chamomile for your condition.

Still following me around Buzzy?

Maybe I need to move to a "Mysterious Island" to get away from you.

Or you could travel 20,000 Leagues under the Sea and enjoy the fish.
