    Twinings Lemon Ginger herbal tea is super flavorful (more ginger than lemon) and I drink it hot and iced almost daily.
    I drink a lot of herbals and this is probably the one that is the most flavorful and palatable on its own without sweetener.

    Mint herbal tea blends like sleepytime and mint melange are also pretty flavorful, in my opinion, but I don't drink anything sweet, so I might just be really used to it.

    I know celestial seasonings and I think Twinings sell combo packs of 4 or 6 mixed flavors. Sounds like you should consider one of those.

    Have fun with it!

    I'm obsessed with herbal teas from Teavana. They are almost zero cals and are so packed full of flavor that you never need to add anything if you steep it for long enough. I also like that genuine herbal tea has no caffeine as I take an EC stack so I can't consume any extra caffeine in my diet.

    Here's a link to all the flavors they have....I particularly love the peach tranquility one and the pineapple one, it's like drinking candy!

    GREEN HANDS DOWN. Seriously hands down the best, no cals and curbs my cravings as well! What more could you want?!

    I put various spices in green tea to make it more interesting. I put in ginger, cinnamon, cloves, sage, peppermint---whatever mood I'm in that day. (BTW, sage tea has been demonstrated to retard age-related memory loss in double-blind studies.) And I ALWAYS put in organic lemon juice as that helps the gut to absorb the beneficial polyphenols in the tea. Happy brewing! :smile:

    Teas with anise root (licorice) have a sweet aftertaste in my opinion and I always recommend them to non-tea drinkers. Some favorites are Yogi Tea Egyptian Licorice and Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat.


    On a side note, I was not a tea drinker growing up (my 3 year old drinks about 2-4 cups every day, he prefers it over juice, milk, even chocolate milk lol) and though I tried to get into tea, I just didn't like it until one day when I was pregnant and happened to walk by a freshly brewed cup or organic pregnancy tea and it smelled so effing amazing I literally picked it up and downed the whole cup in a minute. Luckily it was my best friends and she was just happy I had found a tea I liked. The funny thing was that she'd been having the same tea every day for 2 months and I'd even tried it a few times and didn't like it until all of a sudden I loved it. funny how the body decides when and where it will like things

    jasmine tea and earl grey is my favorite. I drink them straight up without anything so it won't ruin their original taste.
