I was never really into tea until I had PG Tips and Scottish Breakfast Tea. Both are really flavorful, even after only a minute or two of steeping; my first reaction was "Wow, now that is tea!"

Then you would probably love Builder's Tea.

No, it doesn't. There is something wrong with your taste buds. I don't mean that sarcastically. Twining's Irish Breakfast Tea is a good strong tea. You DO leave the tea bag in for 3 to 5 minutes, RIGHT? And use boiling water? If not, it will taste like hot water, lol.

But, seriously, if you can't taste strong teas prepared correctly, something is missing on your tongue.

And we will never know, because 10 pages later the thread starter hasn't bothered to return. Which begs the question - why ask a forum about something when you have no intention of returning to the thread. Let's think...

Yes, but only to show what tea. They never bothered to respond to anything else

I have 2 rather large unopened packets of "Rooibos", leftover from the Christmas hampers. Any advice from the tea experts would be greatly appreciated.

Rooibos is a bunch of tiny sticks you steep in hot water. I've tried several tasty blends containing rooibos. It has some health benefits, and it's caffeine-free.

I can't really tell the difference between teas, then again I don't drink it too often.
