[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 569390, member: 1365"] I mix pretty often. Almost any black tea and/or black tea blend mixes well with some kind of Earl Gray. Assam, single origin or blends, does well with Darjeeling. The Assam is often rather heavy and malty…then the Darjeeling is much lighter and typically fairly floral, so it brings that to the party. Of course, there are both first and second flush harvests of both the Assam and Darjeeling and the different pickings yield very different characteristics to the tea as does the region, altitude, etc. I buy tea mostly from Upton Tea for loose teas and Teadog for the unique authentic loose and bagged UK brands and blends. Upton has many blends of their own design. Teadog’s offerings are imported and exactly what folks in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales find Here’s a link to a page with Upton’s black tea blends. There are a half dozen here that really fit my preferences. Upton is one of the best online companies I’ve ever dealt with.
