Hello Every Buddy! My name is Elisabeth and I'm new here as of today (2/8/23 ). I found the forum during my search for non-toxic bone china tea ware. I grew up with tea-loving parents who were always getting new teas to try....and I'm talking about black teas. I have a memory of them getting a huge, compressed wheel of loose tea, that had what I think were Chinese designs in relief. To make the tea, you would just pinch some off and put in your tea ball.
As a kid, my mother introduced me to Constant Comment, and then on to Earl Grey, lapsang souchong, darjeeling, assam, gun powder, and on and on. I love black teas best, but will occasional go for an herbal. I am an American of British Isles heritage, and my mother would make us afternoon tea often. The old Wagner tea tins were a staple around our house.
