What is your favorite unflavored black tea?

Just wondering because I am looking to try some high quality unflavored blacks! Suggestions? Thanks.

TeaSpring’s Tan Yang Te Ji. Absolutely my most ♥ tea in the world. Anything Fujian black really, but that one in particular.

I am not big into stronger blacks, so I would have to say a nice first flush Darjeeling.

I really enjoy the Bailin Gongfu from Teavivre. Harney’s (now discontinued) Golden Snail is amazing if you can get your hands on it. Everything from Verdant is solid, I still have some of the Laoshan Black which is fab. Yay black tea! I also enjoy Davids Tea’s Nepal Black, though it’s a bit mild. Their Wild Black Yunnan is also really good.

Right now I’m in love with our Mi Xian Black. Mmmm, honey and peach notes.

Golden Fleece from Verdant Tea. Although that’s often limited in quantity.
