    Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea. Full strength in the mornings and decaf in the afternoon. Gloriously smooth and strong.

    I LOVE tea! I love trying all kinds, but my go to is my own blend made up of mostly loose leaf hibiscus with a little rosehips and cranberries with a piece of fresh ginger. I make this in a pitcher and it last for about 2 days. Sometimes I add a splash of fresh lemon to room temp. tea. So good!

    I also enjoy my blend of green/oolong/dandelion citrus, but I'm getting into the seasonal blends now like peppermint etc.

    Off to go warm up a cup... :)

    Assam, probably drink about 12 cups day, but I am a lousy tea sucking Brit.

    And then herbal teas, usually Pukka ones, such as fennel and cardamom or nettle, mint and fennel. You just have to ignore the wanky names such as 'detox' and 'cleanse'. Ugh. No detox going on, but the tea tastes nice.

    Earl Grey is my favorite basic tea.

    I really like lots of fruity herbal teas (peach is always good) made into iced tea, but I suppose that's off topic.

    Love ginger teas--would be great hot or cold in my view. (Haven't tried a cardamom one, but it sounds amazing, will have to.)

    I'm also really into these weird Yogi brand teas--Aztec Sweet Chili, Mayan Chocolate, and a Vanilla one--but I imagine not everyone would share my enthusiasm.

    Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice. So yummy for this cold snap we've been having. And I just discovered that they make capsules that will work in my Keurig!

    Tea Forte's "Orchid Vanilla"
    Mighty Leaf's "Orange Dulce"
    Redrose's "Peach Cobbler"
    Twinings herbal fruit teas. I get the UK ones because blackcurrant makes all berry teas taste better.

    I drink a big mug of Tazo Chai every morning at work with just a little (real) sugar to bring out the flavors. I also love Darjeeling and Twinings BlackCurrent. I have a whole cupboard of different teas at home; English Breakfast (regular & decaf), Irish Breakfast, English Afternoon, Decaf Chai (Tazo and Stash), some different flavors of Republic of Tea...

    I have a friend in Taiwan that sends me tea on a regular basis, but not knowing Chinese, I can't read the labels... the best translation I can get is:
    • High Mountain tea
    • Beautiful Woman tea (I'm a guy, but I haven't noticed any ill effects ;) )
    • Special tea (I'm not sure what makes it so special, but it's goooood!)

    I'm helping keep David's Tea in business. lol I buy almost all of their seasonal flavours and monthly flavours as they come out, so my tea selection is always changing. But I usually always have a stash of Cranberry Pear, Blueberry Jam, and Cream of Earl Grey as staples.

    I love tea! I usually stick to loose leaf teas and mix them together for different flavors. I am currently drinking an herbal chai blend that is awesome with a little vanilla almond milk. Its so good and I find that if I get hungry at night if I have a cup of hot tea it wards off those hungry thoughts

    I have a different question, but related to tea - I don't like to drink plain water, so when I drink, say 12 ounces of tea made with one teabag and a packet of nutrasweet - can I count that as having had water?

    Das it mane, <3 Assam tea. I also like to throw a bit of fruit tea in with the regular tea leaves to add a bit more aroma. The only tea I've tried and haven't liked was Souchong.

    Currently in the cupboard, I have a tin of Assam, a tin of Ceylon and a tin of Earl Grey; at work I have a box of Twinings mixed black teas.
