Recommendations for high quality, high octane teas
 

Hello, I've recently switched to teas from coffee. Reading the FAQ I've
discovered that the caffeine level of teas can vary a good deal by
brand, but no particular pointers are given to any by name.
Does anyone know of some good teas that are easily accquirable that's
got some major oomph to them?

G'day,

Assams can be quite brutal, for caffeine, and are usually quite
common (in lower grades) in supermarkets. If you're in the UK, most
large Sainsbury/Tesco branches have a sizeable range. So-called
"breakfast teas" are usually quite eye-opening, but they're not going
to set your tastebuds alight with pleasure. :)


Toodlepip,

I recommend getting some good Taiwan wulong to try. Their teas can be
quite strong and can pack quite a punch. Most area Chinatowns have
some forms of wulong tea usually from Taiwan.

Check it out.
