I'm a UK host and 90% of my guests are from USA. I'm looking for opinions from USA hosts, as to what sort of tea you / your US guests prefer.
I've always supplied tea bags as a kitchen basic, but I'm about to upgrade my offering from a few boxes of various tea bags to a selection of individually wrapped 'posher' ones in a single container. It also means I'll be able to provide a little more choice, and it'll look neater on the open shelf where the tea and coffee stuff is stored.
Over the years, I've noticed that the fruity herbal / camomile / peppermint teas are fairly popular. The strong black teas that we love in the UK are less popular (e.g. English Breakfast). Sometimes a guest will leave behind decaf black tea bags which they bought, but that's rare. So I wonder whether I should swap Assam / English Breakfast tea to a weaker one such as Darjeeling or Ceylon? Or even Lapsang Souchong. And what about green teas?
Basically, I'm ignorant of USA tea culture and some pointers would be really helpful.
