Oooh Jasmine Tea. A sort of green tea with Jasmine in it. Smooth as silk. You need to take it black and with no sugar - although in Tokyo etc, they have it bottled cold and with added sugar
It is very nice.

A black sweet Earl Grey is pretty nice too. The added Bergamot is a nice flavour I find.

Some Sri Lankan teas are gorgeous. Darjeelang or something. Ah! I was given some by a friend of mine from Sri Lanka. IT'S SITTING IN SYDNEY! Again, black (and sweet) is the way to go.
