Edit: pu’er, black, green, white tea. Love it all and drink it more than I drink coffee. No need to start a culture war; taste is as individual as humour.
Yorkshire tea is in my opinion the best. Nothing difficult needs to be done just follow the instructions add full fat milk, you can check colours online to see how much milk to add and add sugar if you wish.
PG tips and Tetley are also good. Weirdly tea I’ve had with “English breakfast” hardly ever tastes like British tea.
Green tea is super hit or miss. (No milk in this one) Sometimes it’s too weak and other times it’s a bit bitter. But I don’t really have a brand in mind for that.
A mid range Jasmine tea is probably the best for consistency, in terms of a no milk green tea.
Oolong is also good. Actually thinking about the best place to get green tea in America would be at a Chinese restaurant or Chinese store.
Oh and don’t microwave water. No idea why, it tastes weird. Also heat the water then add it to the cup, don’t heat cold water with tea in it.
There is actually zero difference. I promise you won’t be able to blind pick the microwaved cup better than chance, assuming all other prep is the same.
