Tea Time Talk : Trying a new Tea Brand / myLot

India

March 30, 2025 1:35pm CST

So we tried a new Tea Brand (it is actually not new, but new for us). The taste is just fine but well, I mainly try a variety of Tea as I found it exciting. So here is the Tea (look pictures) : "Good Morning" tea. Of late, have you tried any Tea/Coffee brand other than the normal. It is a mix of Assam (India ), Sri Lankan and Kenyan teas. Any feedback/opinion?

No; we use the same brand that we have been using for last five years. And we like it.

@Shivram59 May I ask the brand name? Lipton/ Tata Tea / Taj Mahal etc? At times, sticking to worthy and proven brands is a big advantage to us.

@Shivram59 Yes I remember that very well. We too bring Wagh Bakri sometimes. We have been to their Tea Lounge as well.

I decided a couple of weeks ago that I´m too old to drink bad teas. So I discovered a tea company here that had many kinds of teas and I will try them one by one. The brand is Adadio and I have tried their Lapsang Souchong and an Earl Gray wit bergamote. Delicious. And not so expensive after all.

@marguicha Sound some interesting brands. I think I have heard of "Earl Gray wit bergamote". Do you drink Teas by adding milk or without?

The tea I am drinking right now is Bigelow Earl Grey. Do they have this tea there? I enjoy it.

@TheHorse We do have some varieties of Earl Grey Tea available in shops here. Yet the Earl Grey ones are not in big demand. They have a niche market here. Not sure if any store has the ones from Bigelow brand.

I just like ordinary teas but I know some people like all sorts of different flavours of teas.

@JudyEv My wife tends to stick to one or two brands. I like to experiment. Of course, not each brand's flavor is something that suits our palate!

@grenery8 The maximum times we consume such teas (mostly CTC - Crush, Tear and Crush) is by adding Milk & Sugar and Boiling, along with Ginger, Cardamom, fennel etc.(These additives are optional and vary as per taste and choice). In the more popular terminology - "Chai". Yet sometimes we also call "Chai" as Milk Tea (British connect perhaps! ). We do also consume Green Tea and some flavors we use are Sweet Rose, Honey Ginger and a few more. We did try Hibiscus flavored Tea but that had a very high level of Tanginess, so we just about managed to consume it !!
