I don't claim to be a connoisseur for much of anything. But, for what its worth, I have picked my own herbs for tea and have had lots of loose leaf black tea. I prefer Earl grey and can't tell the difference between a bag and loose leaf. Benefit of the doubt though...I did have my nose adjusted more than once while growing up and I may have lost some of my ability to detect the difference.

We lurkers say: Thanks for the suggestion.

I've tried loose leaf tea before but it must have been old stock in every instance. Because I've now tried a few varieties from Upton Tea Imports and each has a freshness of flavor that I've only experienced when served tea abroad.

I'm enjoying a cup of Formosa Keemun as I write. Even the flavored teas (Chai and Vanilla) seem far fresher than the same types purchased elsewhere. I have a few of the white tea samplers to try next. Thanks again.

(But what do I do now with a few hundred old tea bags?)
