Which do you prefer and why?
I've fallen head over heels in love for black tea this year. With breakfast, I take a malty Assam blend (India) and mix it with a brisk Chinese Keemun. The aroma is incredible, dark chocolates and burnt caramel with strong floral notes. No need to add cream or sugar. I brew western style, loose leaf of course.
I'll sip cup after cup for an hour or two while solving tactics, flooding my brain with caffeine and theanine. In doing so I achieve some sort of blissed-out, quasi-chess nirvana. Not quite sure what it is, but it's powerful. It's been my summer morning ritual and I enjoy it immensely.
