Lotsa brands such as Ahmed tea, Lipton, Boh, Twinning, and even TEsco also having their collections of English Teas dy if I'm not mistaken

In actual there are no English tea, none at all. There are British makers and most of the tea leaves are grown here in Malaysia, Ceylon and India. It is the blend and the region. Earl Grey is actually premium tea leaves with a citrus flavour (bergamot), Darjeeling tea, breakfast tea are also called english tea. British branded means English tea. laugh.gif Those flavoured tea made by Boh is actually not bad, don't judge by the brand.

I am from CH and I can attest that those tea leaves I bought from CH tasted better than those found on the shelves in the supermarkets here. I don't know why, maybe the freshness or a different grade but the packing and weight is the same. If my daughter visits her BF or I visit CH, I will definitely buy a fresh pack. I drink almost 2 to 3 liters of tea a day, so I know. icon_rolleyes.gif

Added on April 2, 2012, 11:28 amInstead of English tea, should named it as Celylonish or Tea other than Chinese tea bcos the existing Tea thread concentrate mostly on Chinese tea although originally it's for all types haha

Normally English tongue = Ceylonese tea lor.

Lipton is not from CH-lah, In CH only 3 major tea plantations/producers i.e Boh, Bharat & Blue Valley. Boh is more famous but they also started to import their tea already.

I find Lipton with their mixed tea bags still the best comparing to those from CH..well my personal taste. haha

But the best tea I ever tasted was from a small retro hainanese coffee shop in M'cca - (Closed liao). their tea dust was a mixed of atleast 6 tea dust from Ceylon, Darjeeling & even local brand.. The aroma..walao eh..still kenot get this till Today...haizzz

The best right now still the simple - Lipton teabg.. much better than Boh, Bharat, Dilmah or even twinning biggrin.gif ..cheap sumore

I've recently started enjoying tea, enjoying the likes of Twinings Assam Tea, English Breakfast Tea and my very favorite Dilmah English Breakfast Tea.

So now, I wanna go to the next level... there anything better than those? Can I buy just plain tea leaves of great/richer flavor than the above?

Cannot say like that... Very personal one, Cuebiz

Say maybe i like Pamela Anderson sweat.gif, but TS hate her leh. Each tea has its character. If cultivated well, we will be able to savor the best of it. So it depends very much on ones tastebud and preference i.e. mellow, tangy, robust, etc then woody-like, earthy-like, floral, fruity, etc

I dont think one can demand too much out of scented tea. Manufacturers will use reasonably good or bad teas leafs as its base and scent it, unlike tea that bear its natural taste

Btw, i see that tea threads here and there are all merged up and classified into two, hope to see everyone there for more discussion icon_rolleyes.gif

About Shincha Tea
Shincha is packaged in limited quantities only once per year immediately after the spring harvest. It holds a special place in the hearts and palates of the Japanese people who enjoy drinking quality tea.

The exceptional Ohashiri Shincha is an artisan tea in the truest sense that is the earliest picked spring tea from very young buds. It provides subtle flavors that engender thoughtful contemplation. Ohashiri Shincha is a tea that should be lingered over in a most relaxed manner in order to discover its full meaning. It is an excellent choice for gift presentation.
