Then you have never tasted real tea.

You're like a person who has only eaten chopped sirloin at Denny's, while I'm eating Ruth's Chris Steak House filet mignon dinners.

After years of trying various tea vendors, this place is my tea home.

uptontea.com

They really know their tea, and are totally reliable.

They have an article on Why loose tea and not teabags. It starts out: " Many people are shocked the first time that they try loose-leaf tea. "I had no idea that tea could taste this good!" is often one of the first comments that we get from a new customer. Since Americans are generally familiar only with teabags and instant tea, the initial experience with fine tea can be astonishing." Then explains why.

For brewing, I no longer use a teapot unless I have company. I infuse it a cup at at time for total freshness and variety. Try their Chatsworth mug strainer kit (under teaware/infusers). It is just as convenient as a teabag and allows you to drink truly fine teas, which can actually be cheaper than teabags.

Then try some or their sampler sets. Or request a catalog with descriptions of all their teas.

Or, keep drinking tea that is the equivalent of Denny's steaks. I can lead you to great tea, but I cannot make you drink it.
