LAPSANG SOUCHONG leaf tea
I've had a number of Lapsang souchong teas over the years. The best I ever had was by Mariage Freres... but that's considerably more expensive. Frankly, for the price, the Taylors of Harrogate is a winner. Just be careful not to overbrew it.

Yorkshire Gold
This is, hands down, my FAVORITE black tea. Very smooth and rich. I started with regular Yorkshire (red stripe) and liked it, then learned about Gold. I wouldn't say it's a huge difference, but enough that I can taste it and find the price very worthwhile. I avoid the teabags and go with loose leaf. The grind is very fine... so you need a really fine mesh infuser. A bit messy to clean up, but worth it. Be sure not to overbrew.

Red Zinger
This tea really shines when chilled & lightly sweetened. I don't really care for it when hot. Maybe that's why a number of people gave low reviews? Incidentally, Trader Joe's had a "Red Refresh" tea based on hibiscus that's very similar, but actually better. Unfortunately they discontinued it!
