Favorite Tea!!

SuzySunshine99

So, definitely not cost-friendly, but my favorite brand right now is David's Tea, a Canadian company. Right now I have Forever Nuts (almonds and apples), Blueberry Jam, and Strawberry-Rhubarb Parfait.

They are expensive, though, so I just ask for them for birthday and Christmas presents.

@Hamsibian - Numi Chinese Breakfast is simply the best! I buy it in bulk (100 bags) off Amazon for approximately $23.

To answer OP’s inquiry, aside from Numi Chinese Breakfast, I adore their Toasted Rice flavor as well. It’s so unique! Their Mint is also very good.... suffice to say, I’m a Numi fan through and through. Numi offers a nice variety pack if you want to try a lot of their different flavors instead of committing to an entire box of one flavor.

Other than Numi, I drink Trader Joe’s green tea and slightly off topic - I also drink Crio Bru as well which is kinda like the dark chocolate version of hot chocolate - not very sweet at all but for 10 calories, I add some sugar free sweetener and get the craving for chocolate to go away: https://criobru.com/

Great suggestion, I was just searching the internet for brewed cocoa bean last week, I'd give this brand a try.

You are right, one really can taste the difference between expansive and cheap tea. I used to drink them rarely and spending some money to try new flavor occasionally is fine, now I use 1-2 bag everyday to help with my diet, budget friendly brand are my go to now, I do hope people will start sending fancy tea instead of chocolate as Christmas gifts.

Loose leaf! I'd been drinking bagged tea since I was a kid. I still have a stash of tea bags that I periodically return to in order to finish them up, but my purchases from here on out will mostly be loose leaf. I was gifted a kit last year and, to me, the flavor is a significant improvement. If you're a tea fan, I highly rec giving it a try (if you haven't yet).

- Smores Chai
- Stormy Night
- Chocolate Macaroon
- Santa's Secret
- Zestfully Green
- Sweet Ginger Heat
- Sweet Almond Green
- Raspberry Cream Pie

I buy most of my teas from a local tea shop, I like that it's more customizable and can be a nice experience. My favorite is a blend of Rooibos With Orange & Hibiscus. I do not like most green teas or sweet teas, so it took me a while to find something I genuinely enjoy. I'd recommend looking for a farmers market near you, or google apothecaries in your area (personally, I don't know how I feel about teas as a "cure" but doesn't mean I cant enjoy the tea regardless).

I'm always trying new flavors! My favorites right now:

Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger & Red Zinger
Yogi Green Tea Blueberry Slim Life
Yogi Sweet Tangerine Positive Energy
Bigelow Mint Medley
Tazo Wild Sweet Orange

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few favorites, these are just what I have in my desk

Builders, as the good lord intended.

Stash Mango Passionfruit tea is good. That's one of the few bag teas that I might still buy. The loose herbal teas are more expensive but have much more flavor overall. Although Tazo and Mighty Leaf are pretty potent for herbal bag teas.
