Here is a link to some Dragon Pearl Tea This tea looks like tiny green pearls when the water is added they unfold during the steeping , and the flavor is very subtle.

I am Wolf. It is my cry you hear in the night, My eyes that gaze at you from the shadows. It is my heart that beats in your Soul, My strength that makes you whole. I am Wolf. I am in you. You are in Me. We Are Wolf.
I don't think it "tastes" like coffee, but Chai tea has the same effect -- high in caffeine. It's spicey and quite good when travelling (I hate airplanes).

I'm hooked on the Earl Grey as well. I love it with a bit of honey and milk (my grandmother hooked me on the milk part). I also like Earl Grey in the evening after a hot bath with a little brandy,lemon and honey in it . My grandmother used to call that "Irish Tea". Don't know whether that's what it is or not, but it's nice.
Hey, I wonder why stuff with brandy/whiskey/bourbon in it turn Irish all of a sudden
My very favorite is a local (I think) California blend called "Good Earth' : lists ingredients as Black Tea, rose hips, chamomile, cinnamon, lemongrass, peppermint, papaya leaf, anise, orange peel, and ginger. Plenty of caffeine, and altho the list looks looks like what my Hubby calls "froufrou tea", the effect is actually mostly tea with cinnamon and some subtle herb overtones. Very nice hot with lemon.

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning? ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Currently I enjoy a fruit blend herbal tea with Rosehips, Hibiscus, Lemon Grass, Orange Peel, and Peppermint made in Choctaw, OK by Holder's Herbs and Gifts. mmmm mmmm and local.

If you really want a "Taste " of Scotland order some tea from Kinnells Scottish Tea...they have all types of teas and most come from Edinburgh....you can reach them by the internet: www.silverplumetearoom.com or call 1-866-6hightea tell them you are new and ask for some samples and a catalog...that's where I get mine from..Good stuff...then go to Atlanta Bread co and get a Scone...and you'll think you died and went to heavy it will be so good together..
The Tea that inspires me the most is any Mint Tea made with the sap of a Maple Tree.
When we make our Maple Syrup in February, we get the sap boiling good for a couple hours and we dip a cup of the sap out and steep it with a Mint Tea bag. Nobody has ever added sugar to it yet and I have been doing this for 14 years.
It is sooooooo gooooood.
