I am a former chef and have answered a number of your other questions, I like Assam it is a lighter high mountian tea, mostly all hand picked, it is a great afternoon drink.
I would try the Twinnings brand, I worked in several hotels were we had "High Tea" in the afternoon, it is nice in bags or loose, that is your choice, loose tea is much more headier, but bags still use a quality tea, even if you happen to get into an Indian grocery anyone of the Brooke Bond yellow or blue label loose teas are of the Assam variety.
I am a big fan of Earl Grey, but I recently bought a box of Twinings Lady Grey. It's a lighter version of Earl Grey, with a slight citrus flavour because it's infused with lemon and orange aswel as Bergamot. It's worth trying.
I like mine just plain - no milk and no sugar and I allow the bag to 'brew' for at least 3/4 mins.
Never tried Assam - sorry!
Brand: Spot Teas
Flavour: Creme Caramel
It's loose leaf so you will need a tea-ball...just drink it straight up and it is THE BEST! A company in CO makes it...so I don't know if you can buy it everywhere.
I buy my tea from Upton tea imports.
