for the best iced tea Luzianne is the best! If it's not in your area you can always go online and buy it that way! I love both regular and decaff. I cant tell the difference!!

I agree totally. Loose tea is the best. Whether you like green, white, black, or red tea...loose is by far the superior in quality and taste. You have to play around with the amount of loose tea you like but as it is, you're already spending a lot of money on boxes of tea bags that don't taste great. It may be an urban myth but I've heard that the tea in tea bags is the leavings of the tea making process. The better tea is kept loose. And when you think about it, most of the world drinks loose tea!

Any ideas from real tea mavens out there? Maybe my taste buds are just getting too old.

Needless to say I am talking about plain tea, not anything flavored.

Try Darjeeling.

Try hotter water or steeping longer if you want a richer flavor! Another one you might try for fun is Celestial Seasonings Roastaroma Mocha Spice (also non-caffeinated).

OOOh Celestial seasonings has this red tea, Roombis from Africa that is divine.

Mentioning loose leaf tea reminds me of my little French gramma from Canada. When she would come down to the US to visit my mom would make sure there was loose tea to fix for gramma. My three brothers and I could drink a small cup of tea with gramma. After our cups were empty, gramma read our tea leaves. Wounderful things were going to happen to all of us. We always got good readings from gramma. LOL
