    I'm also a tea drinker and I like all kinds, but I guess it depends on my mood. I like green/white and red teas (Numi). I like spearmint. I like ginger to soothe my tummy. I like vanilla black tea (Mighty Leaf). I like cherry marzipan tea by Tea Forte. I like going to the tea shop and trying new things.

    I love Lipton Superfruit Green Teas. My favorite one is Vanilla & Black Current, but I like all 4 of the flavors that we have here.

    David's Tea is amazing.... So many different flavours to choose from. If you're near a store you can go in and sniff or try them before you buy. Some of my favourites are Read my lips, Organic Cocoa Canela, and Three Lemon Green.

    I love Earl Grey, Orange Pekoe by Twinnings. I also love green tea, Chinese black tea. I am not into flavored or herbal teas.

    Something else I ran across while searching for new tea flavors is German Rock Sugar. There's 25 calories and 5 carbs per teaspoon (vs 18 cals and 5 carbs per teaspoon of granulated white sugar) but I find that I only need one tsp of the rock sugar where I used to need at least 2 tsps of granulated sugar. The other great thing about the rock sugar is that it doesn't alter the taste of the tea like granulated sugar does.

    I like nice strong plain teas: white, green, black.

    For flavored, I like:

    Trader Joe's Black tea Mango (YUM!!!)

    Tazo Thrive - green tea & botanicals (green tea, green yerba mate, spearmint leaves, green rooibos, rose hips, black pepper, chicory & licorice root)

    Tazo Rest - a lulling blend of rose petals, valerian root & citrusy herbs (it's got lemon balm and ginger and lavender...so good!) :bigsmile:

    I actually was told to check out David's Tea by someone I work with...and there is a store in the mall where I work so I think I am gonna have to check it out! lol I am kind of looking for something inexpensive though, I have a feeling it may be out of my budget. I'll have to see.

    I like any green tea! I'm pretty much addicted! My favorite brand is Luzianne. It's pretty cheap and it's good :)

    The box is stuffed with it *lol* Saving the night, so to speak!

    cherry/ strawberry
    cherry joghurt
    or pomgranate/ blackberry

    So many choices and I love them all! Well still have some hours to drink myselfe through them!:wink:

    I recently read that oolong tea twice a day helps fire up your system even more than green tea so I've been sticking to that lately. I like Earl Grey and Madagascar Vanilla Rooibos Tea also.

    I am a big fan of chai teas. I particularly like Bigelow vanilla chai, Twinings pumpkin chai (harder to find), and Twingings regular chai flavor. I like Bigelow cinnamon tea as well. Any of these are fine by themselves, or I will often add some sweetener and 1/4 cup almond milk for a sweet treat that has less than 15 calories. I go through spells when all I want is Celestial Seasonings peppermint tea (it's a caffeine free herbal). It is really soothing when you have a sore throat, or are having tummy trouble. If I want something soothing in the evening, it's Celestial Seasonings honey lemon chamomile all the way. :drinker:

    I agree with you on the fruity teas; too sweet for me.

    My absolute favorite is peppermint tea.

    Love orange tea with a tablespoon of lemon juice.

    Also enjoy lemon tea with a bit of extra lemon juice thrown in there.

    I love tea. I'm an herbal girl, but I'll drink green tea if it has mint in it. My very favorite tea is actually one that is supposed to help increase lactation, (I'm not breastfeeding anymore), but I'm head over heels for the taste! I also like Celestial Seasonings Mint and there is one called Sweet Cinnamon Spice that is lovely.

    Had a cup of Raspberry tea this morning from Celestial Seasonings, I used 2 cups of water instead of 1 so it wasn't too bad. I only have the fruity teas left right now so until I get to the grocery store, I can't pick up any new ones! So many choices I don't know which to try next! lol

    Green Tea with Kombusha is my all time favorite.

    I really like Jasmine tea too. It makes me feel all girly.

    I am in LOVE with My Morning Mate from Teavana. It's a great replacement for coffee in the AM when you are looking for something different.

    I LOVE tea. I start out with black tea usually vanilla chai or peppermint and then switch to green usually chai or mint though I try all kinds of other flavors and then end the day with herbal generally mint or peppermint though again I like a variation. I am not big on the fruit flavors but don't mind one here and there. I mix up tea bags and loose leaf.

    We have a tea maker. We make black tea. We drink it cold. I usually drink it with lunch and sometimes with supper.

    Tea.....wow... for AM wakeys, I love Irish Breakfast or some form of Assam or Ceylon tea (loose).
    If I can't get those, Lipton, really strong, with milk and sugar, does it for me.
    After dinner, mint tea is great.
    Midday, I enjoy orange spice teas.
    If I have trouble getting to sleep, chammomile works. I dislike the taste - honey helps - but it does help relax me enough to sleep.
