I would lay claim to being one of the biggest tea drinkers in St Andrews.
My favourite type of tea is probably Assam, but changes throughout the day. When I wake up I enjoy an English breakfast, Irish Breakfast or Assam. About 11 I have a nice cup of Darjeeling, and around lunch I usually have a nice English Afternoon, or Lapsang Souchong. Later in the afternoon, say around three I will have a darjeeling, or an Earl Grey. After this I am likely to partake of either English B or Assam.
However, the best tea that I have ever drank was when I went to visit a friend's uncle in Darjeeling (the foothills of the Himalayas).
He said "All your English tea is dust!" and gave us some of his special reserve, which was the most mind-blowing stuff I have every tasted. I would back him up on his claim.
He sent me home with a small tea chest full, which lasted me a couple of months.
But it was a good time, as I got to ride around on an elephant, have servants attend my every need and generally pretend the British Empire was still in full swing.
ponse!
