    For anytime, English Breakfast with a splash of milk and a bit of sugar. Tumeric & ginger tea, especially on cold evenings. And for iced, unsweetened black tea.

    My go to at Starbucks is the Royal English Breakfast Tea and at home Tazo Awake English Breakfast. I drink a lot of both.
    I also like now and then -Tazo Organic Sultry Strawberry, Stash Chocolate Mint and Stash Chai Spice.

    For a hot black tea, I haven't found anything even remotely close to Harney and Sons Earl Grey Supreme. This is hands down the best black tea I've had so far. I have converted people who didn't think they liked Earl Grey, or even didn't think they liked tea. I have a subscription to this tea on Amazon.

    If I'm looking for just a strong, "standard" black tea, I like Yorkshire.

    If you like your black tea with a fruitier flavor, Harney and Sons Paris is very nice.

    I make iced herbal tisanes because I can't have caffeine later in the day. Currently I'm drinking Celestial Seasonings Vermont Maple Ginger. The ginger taste is mild and blends well with the maple; this isn't a punch-you-in-the-sinuses ginger. It includes monkfruit, so no sweetener needed.

    I drink a cup of English Breakfast tea pretty much every morning; make it at home for the drive in to work and then have one cup of coffee at work. If I have tea later, I like jasmine.

    My barista order is a London Fog with a hazelnut sugar free syrup.

    My loose teas are a good Darjeeling or a Chai.

    I like chai as a normal tea... Sweetened, and with milk.

    I like some herbal teas and other flavoured teas - my current fave is rooibos with mint and chocolate. It tastes as good as it smells (which I don't think is the case for many fancy flavoured teas)

    My husband is a tea drinker, but I am not. Although sometimes I really wish I was because it smells so good.

    Anyway, he is an English Breakfast/Earl Grey guy, nothing added. He also likes the Celestial Seasonings Pumpkin Spice in the fall.

    I have a hot apple cider herbal tea from the "Republic of tea" that is amazing! Especially on a crisp fall day.

    I've had all of them but like the one with dark tea with caffeine best. This brand has some amazing teas. Their Pomegranate Green tea is incredible for Iced Tea too.

    I have to try some of their Organic loose teas soon.

    I love plain old Earl Grey, but black tea makes me nauseated if I don't drink it on a full stomach for some reason, so I mostly stick with greens and herbals now.

    I love matcha, this vanilla orchid oolong from David's Tea, and anything with a lot of rosehip and hibiscus. I also always have Cold 911 for whenever I have any congestion, since the mint and juniper fix that pretty much instantly. I've also been drinking this super fruity "pink lemonade" rooibos a lot this summer.

    English breakfast tea (PG Tips) with milk!

    English Breakfast. Builders style. Really strong with plenty of milk and sugar.

    Admittedly I’ve pared the sugar down to a minimal 1.5g, but it really needs at least that.

    About 10-12 cups a day. Every day.

    Hmm...the "ultimate question" and it's about tea? Coffee for life. ;) But if I'm in the mood for a non-iced tea, I like lemon zinger.

    I am more a coffee drinker, but I do like tea. We usually have Bushells or Dilmah in our house. I like black tea with honey when I wake up with a sore throat. I don't like too much sugar in tea or coffee - unless is a 'special ' drink, like the caramel latte I'm drinking right now lol. I have also bought twinings Australian afternoon tea for myself. It's stronger than English afternoon tea. I am really liking green tea with lemon at the moment. It seems to go well with my work meals, and I work night shift, so need caffeine, but not too much. Most importantly I like the taste .

    My sugar issue is that I can't get the right amount in tea. Too much is yucky, but sometimes I need something. I find with honey, flavour wise, I can't go wrong :)
