Could never get into green tea (except for that one time when I had it with mochi. Good stuff). So I drink my black tea straight, and only add stuff if I catch cold.

Didn't know a thread like this existed. Learn something new everyday, I guess.
Re: topic, I have two tins of loose leaf TWG teas I got for my birthday two years ago that I haven't touched b/c stingy Filipinos reserve that sort of good shit for special occasions that never seem to happen.
Would adding some honey help?

Six cups of Darjeeling and a large slice of Victoria Sponge
Very full
Is this actually in Richmond or is that just the name of the establishment?
It is in Richmond; Richmond Street that is. So, not the one you're thinking of.

The Bingham is the posh place for tea in Richmond, but it wasn't that great. There was a better place I went to but I can't for the life of me remember the name of it, and Google tells me nothing.

Oh nooooo, I looked on Street View and it's closed ;_;
White tea with blueberry extract is actually the best.
(Green tea and some blends of black are next)
I am a huge fan of green tea with mint. I don't really like my tea sweetened.
I found a tea that's a rooibos blend with chai. So far disappointing. I think the chai spices overpower the rooibos, tending to leave you with a vaguely middling chai. Probably best to keep the two apart.
I love infusing Earl Grey with mint or lavender, add some cream and sugar, mmm, it's the best. I also love chai and Thai tea, with or without boba in it. Also, as any good Texas boy, I'll go to one of my local chicken eateries and get a large Styrofoam cup filled with sugar water infused with a tiny hint of tea, from time to time.
Jasmine tea, anyone?
The last batch of tea I bought to try was terrible. I prefer green, rose, rice/barley, chocolate/coconut or thai tea. Some herbal/flowery/fruity ones are ok... I like mango & hibiscus ones but haven't cared for the blackberry one I last bought.
I actually prefer jasmine over the oolong but both are good if its a good quality brand.
I usually add sugar but some teas are good straight as long as they're prepared hot.
