Any fellow tea addicts out there? I've always loved tea but since starting my weight lose journey I've switched more towards green and herbal teas. I also don't drink teas with caffeine after 6pm which has helped with my sleep.

What are your favourite teas? Any teas to recommend? I'm always looking for some good ones. I've recently discovered Japanese sencha (I got mine from David's Tea) and I just love it. Great for re-steeping.

What's your pick me up tea?
Bedtime tea?
Favourite type of tea?
Loose leaf?

    I buy a loose leaf local version of the zen tazo tea from starbucks... it's a lemongrass lime green tea... it just makes me happy and its lively.
    I generally stick to chamomile at night... warm things always make me feel full
    I like dandelion tea for detoxing, but it's not a lovely taste

    I don't buy it from starbucks, the tea is like the starbucks tea
    I make it in my French press because I don't have a tea ball, or a straining pot, makes sense to me anyways

    Me! Me!

    I keep it simple. I love either a bag of Bigelow Constant Comment or Twining's Blackcurrant Breeze. A nice Earl Grey Green is lovely also.

    That local loose leaf sounds good (do you ice it? Sounds like it would be good iced).
    Not a fan of dandelion! I left it in my mug for a couple days once and it went moldy!

    I like Get Some Zzzzs from The Republic of Tea. It is Rooibos tea with a little bit of stevia already in it.

    :drinker: Tea and a little skimmed milk.
    Breakfast (2), Mid morning (1), lunch time (2), after school (1), when I get home (1), with my meal (1), before bed (1).
    That's 9!! Wow, I've never counted before!
    I admit it, I'm an addict.

    I love tea - chai, earl grey, and green tea.

    Herbal teas are awesome. I love making unsweetened iced tea.

    I recently discovered Davids tea. Some of the teas you really have to check the ingredients, but it's pretty delicious.

    I love green, chamomile, jasmine with pear, and peppermint teas. My morning hasn't started off right until I have my 4 cups of green tea with lemon !

    OOOO...I love tea! And tea from Teavana is heavenly. But...my current favorite is Bigelow's Pomegranate Black Tea. I drink green tea for most of the day (with plain or flavored water mixed in too), but in the afternoon I have a cup of pom tea..yummmm

    I heart tea. Of all kinds. Any time.

    What I drink really depends on my mood. I tend towards English Breakfast with a bit of milk while at work, but drink Lapsang Souchong, Chinese white tea, yerba mate or jasmine tea at home. Sometimes I make real Indian chai with milk, boiled on the stove.

    The only tea that I really don't like is obnoxiously fruity tea.

    I"m a huge fan of Davids Tea!! My go to tea is a blend of yerba mate & guyusa that I mix myself. Its the perfect pick me upper.

    For flavored tea I love Santas Secret (seasonal of course), tastes like a york pepperment patty and Cookie dough, a white tea that takes & smells divine! Both from Davids

    Earl Grey. Occasionally with lemon, usually with milk. It has to be loose tea, made in a pot and left for 5 minutes. The best Earl Grey I ever found was in Aunt Betties Tea Rooms in Harrogate.

    Otherwise, it's Darjeeling, Ceylon or Lapsang Souchong.
