OK, I'm finally going to try to break my disinterest in black teas.
Basically I've tried a number of Keemuns, Ceylons, etc. and very few
ever do much for me. The only time I turn to a black tea is when I
fill it full of raw or some other (Thistle, red bamboo, orange
blossom) honey. I tend to go with like 2-3 tblsp of honey to 6-8oz.
black tea. I don't really go for milk in any way in my tea, and on
rare occasions I will go with a yellow lump sugar or turbinado.

I had an enjoyable Dimbula Ceylon, I enjoy the Mlesna Monk's Blend,
don't like the peppery blacks (some Yunnans I've had), and have had
very little to like in the Keemuns. I like smooth, medium body, fairly
strong black tea. I'll even admit to my enjoyment of Luzianne tea bags (brewed hot).

I'm up for suggestions

Recently, I had this pure orthodox tippy tea from Halmari tea and it has a very nice taste. Even I do not prefer sugar or milk in my tea but this tea has a very nice flavor & aroma of its own. This is Assam tea also, which is any way renowned for its
black tea so you can try this one if you like.
