Tea Varieties

Hey,

Can anyone recommend some alternative types of Tea that are drinkable and don't taste horrible. The befits of green tea are nice for example, but it just tastes like grass. Maybe there are some infusions of it worth trying that make it more acceptable?

My limited list of nice tasting teas so far:

- English Breakfast (/any standard black tea) - good all rounder
- Assam - Bit stronger pretty nice
- Nettle & Peppermint - pretty awesome alternative to the black teas

I liked Red Rooibos Tea but it gave me headaches for some reason, so that had to go

Anyone tried any of the White teas?

Tea in general is very good.

at the end of a hard day, you get home, bang the kettle on, brew some ISO-3103 and relax.

Haa, just looked that standard up, quality

It's expensive trying out all of these if you end up not liking them

I think I might have to just buy every box on the Twinning's isle and give it a try

Don't suppose there's any good online loose leaf sellers are there? Doesn't look like there's any shops local to me sadly.
