Good loose leaf tea.
This. Most retail teabags are made with "fannings" which is basically the dust left after they've made the actual proper tea. It's cheap and brews very fast so it has mass market appeal but it tastes accordingly. Quality loose leaf tea is amazing and the flavour difference is huge. It doesn't immediately get that burnt tannin flavour like fannings do.
Ever since a buddy turned me on to adagio.com, no turning back to regular tea bags.
Rock on! I just ordered a pretty wide variety of their samples. Thanks for the tip, Citizen!
If you like black teas, I recommend Harney and Sons. Specifically their Victorian London Fog, Irish Breakfast, and Scottish Afternoon teas.
