    A company that was making the yummiest vegan roast did the same thing: changed ("improved") the recipes and change the company name. It destroyed our Sunday dinner (my wife is vegetarian).

    "Vegan" tea, what's that about?
    Isn't tea considered to be a plant already?

    I was saying vegan roast, not vegan tea. I was making an analogy with a Sunday roast my wife and I liked a lot. Food and drink companies who "improve" their original recipe risk alienating their loyal customers.

    Ah, yes, and for some reason my brain switched over to coffee terminology when I read that comment

    Vegan roast, Light roast, Dark roast, French roast, Expresso roast...

    Oh yes, come to think of it, it was ambiguous.

    Anyway, I want to try these teas:https://twospoons.co.uk/

    My wife bought be a box of Yorkshire Tea Caramelised Biscuit Brew. I'm drinking it now. It really tastes like biscuit. A tad desserty for breakfast perhaps. It's very sweet.

    But does it taste like tea...?

    Somewhat yes, but the caramel biscuit tastebus really strong. Perfect for a cream tea in the afternoon, with something like a toffee cake or... biscuits. Not the best for breakfast tea, even if you have a a very sugary breakfast.

    Bought some products from Holy Cow Tea: https://www.holycowtea.com/
    I had a taste at the Marlow Regatta. They do lose leaf teas and they have a wide array of products. A bit expensive, but I wanted to spoil myself.

    Green Tea with Ginger is the bomb.

    I'm not a big fan of ginger, especially when it's really pronounced.

    Oh, on a side note: I'll always associate green tea to Sheridan Le Fanu's ghost story of the same name.

    I'm currently drinking Twinings English Breakfast blend. "Golden & Well Rounded" the box says. It's very nice.

    Although I'm primarily a coffee drinker, I've started drinking tea in the evenings. Twinings Earl Grey has been a regular go-to, but I've started buying tea from specialty shops just to try something new. Right now I'm drinking an "Irish Breakfast Tea" blend which is quite nice.

    I always add a teaspoon of honey though, just to give the flavour some sweetness.

    Twinings generally delivers. It was what my very first girlfriend used to drink. Twinings Everyday. Loose leaf. She's the one who introduced me to tea.
