Recommend book by Sharon Rose. Fascinating story of how in mid-19th Century the British controlling India sent botanists into the unknown "heart" of China to "steal" the finest Chinese tea to transplant in India; revive company fortunes.
Full of local color, a botanist's world, the politics of the era. And more about tea that I ever know could exist!
(idiomatic expression "Not for all the tea in China" = I wouldn't do it no matter what the reward)
I've been drinking "Emperor's Tea" -- top-grade mountain-grown Taiwane$e green tea for years.
What's your favorite?

Hi Higgs,
The wife and I adore Choice Organic Black Tea:

Know a lot of people that adobe green tea. I never
could abide it: tastes too much like the inside of
a lawn mover bag.
