My personal feeling is that none of the generic Indian CTCs are as
aromatic as the generic whole leaf Kalami/Gulabi teas, like Sharzad.
These also turn up very cheaply at Indian groceries (can you believe
two pounds for $3) and really are underrated to my mind.

But, as the Gujerati guy that I shared an office with as a grad student
always said, "If Brooke Shields married James Bond... she'd be Brook-Bond."
