Differences between Taj Mahal *VS* Red Label tea

They're both made by Unilever. SO what's the difference? They also
cost the same.

I personally think that the grain shapes are different, and that Taj
Mahal has a brighter, less bitter taste.

I think you answered your own question, as I was going to say the
exact same thing. Texture and slight taste difference, I prefer the
Taj Mahal myself.

I'm not going to brew any just for a post. From what I remember Taj
Mahal was blended for Indian taste and Red Label for British. Even if
not so I remember Taj Mahal more appropriate for milder afternoon tea
and Red Label for wake me up morning tea.

PS New puppy chewed through my CAT router cable right behind me as I
was composing. I had to splice the color coded 8 wires for this
mornings posts.

After we had adopted our puppy (whippet mix) I discovered my surround
sound setup not working quite right and crackly sounding... only to
discover she had chewed through most of the speaker cables. All very
long runs custom pulled by me through the flooring and chewed so that
all of them were unusable. Offset the "bargain" we got on the puppy :)
Be happy it was just CAT5!

When I was a kid we had a pet rabbit that would chew through the
Christmas lights every year. I still can't figure out how it never got
electrocuted...

P.S. I have a local Indian store that has the Brook Bond but I didn't
see Taj Mahal, but wasn't looking for it...is that the sort of place I'd
find it? As an aside I saw them selling CTC in a clear plastic canister
like one finds instant coffee in (the sort of jar-shaped plastic
canister with the screw on lid). Novel packaging.
