    If you're anywhere near a Fairway, they have a wonderful, affordable selection of loose tea. I particularly like the Darjeeling and the Assam.

    For steeping loose leaf tea, I love my "Ingenuitea" (it has 4.7 stars and 1000 reviews on amazon):

    It looks like a beer stein (but plastic). You put in the tea leaves, pour water, and let it steep. When it's ready, you stick it on top of your cup and the tea pours out the bottom. For clean up, I rinse out for 10 seconds. It's so easy to use!

    For tea bag and tea ball users: letting the leaves freely float around the tea first seems to really enhance the flavor.

    So my routine is black tea and I'm starting to drink green tea. Any other kind of teas I can try? I want to expand my palate. I like Teavana but its so expensive, I'm starting to think Twinnings is just as good.

    I drink oolong black and green tea everyday. I used to go to Teavanna but I found another company with comparable teas.

    If you live near a Hy-Vee, I just got their diet mixed berry green tea in bottles for like $4.00! Plus it was on fuel saver. Pour it over water and there is no sugar or calories and it tastes amazing!

    I'm English, I don't drink herbal or fruit or green tea. I drink about 3-4 cups of typhoo (or other similar brands of tea) a day with milk & sugar.

    Peppermint tea is probably my favorite. Aids in digestion & soothes upset stomach. Green tea is a close second though.

    Yes! Same here. I absolutely loveee peppermint tea. Delicious and is great for sooo many things. Peppermint tea also can help curb your appetite because of the way it tastes and smells, from what Ive read on it. Also the green tea is great for energy and boosting your metabolism.:-)

    Teavana is so expensive. I will not pay $30 for tea.
