either bagged or loose, is excellent, sometimes better
than other colors.
Lipton orange pekoe tea gets real boring, and it just doesn't have half
the aroma of loose tea. Today, I dipped a ball full of indian tea into a
cup of hot water, and the room smelled like I had a bouquet of flowers in
there.
As someone that does coffee (programming fluid) and teas I would say a
good dark roast coffee, strong, Oolong or Jasmine loose teas are very high
on my list. Though a good green tea is nice too.
