Some of the brands you have all graciously recommended are not so readily available in the US, so I am curious of your thoughts on some I have seen here available locally and/or online. Any thoughts on the brands listed below (good/bad)? I do prefer a robust cup of tea.
Lyons
Ty-Phoo
Lifeboat
Tetley British Blend
Welsh Brew
Glengettie
Barry's Tea
Nambarrie
Clipper
Forgot about the algerian coffee shop! You should try the tea house at Covent Garden too!Jing do a good range and the English Breakfast is a good blend. To be honest it is way better than any of the supermarket stocked brands. Off the shelf, I quite liked the Waitrose gold bags, cheap too. You could also try the Algerian Coffee shop in London, their English breakfast is also nice and they will probably ship to you.

I'm a recent convert to Barry's Tea (it's an irish breakfast blend rather than English) and more potent and refreshing imo. I do prefer the original blend (green box) rather than gold blend (red box) though, and stay away from Lyons, Typhoo, Tetley they are English stalwarts for a reason.
Doesn't have to be ceremonial every time - Pin Cha all the wayYou'd think it's the sort of thing that I'd be into, but the Gong Fu ceremony is not something I'm bothered about. I do like real tea, though ... and I do have a "tea friend" who is a little polar bear. I see you have Buddha in the back corner.
