Re: What is the next tea I should try?
I remember Morning Thunder, a mate-tea mix from Celestial Seasonings, being very earthy and dark; you might try a ripe aka cooked aka shu puerh, to enjoy more of that earthy flavor. The ripe pu is cheaper and less demanding to prepare than a raw or sheng pu. Also, a nice traditional dark roasted oolong tea--a Ti Kuan Yin or Wuyi--would also have some of that dark toastiness.
As for green teas, they're so varied that it's hard to know what to suggest. What do you like best about the green tea you've already had? nuttiness? sweetness? a fresh grassy 'vegetable' taste? You might want to discuss that with the tea seller, or head over to the green tea forum for more suggestions.
