    My favorite tea in the universe is Republic of Tea's Blackberry Sage. It's a black tea blend.

    I take all my tea plain. No sugar, no nonsense (unless I need an iced chai...)

    I'm actually allergic to green tea. It's so weird, considering it's the same plant as the black and white teas I drink, but I even got the scratchy throat after a few bites of green tea creme brulee. And it's my only known food allergy.

    Since joining MFP, my challenge has been to drink more tea without (soy) milk as I realised how quickly the milk adds up.


    Bedtime tea? some kind of tea latte
    Favourite type of tea? right now, I really like the Coconut Oolong from David's
    Loose leaf? almost always

    Favourite cheap tea (bags) - for those of you in Canada check out the President's Choice Chocolatey Chai Herbal Tea

    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

    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 don't ice it on purpose, but if I forget about my cuppa, I drink it cold later and it is good.
    I learned a lesson about breastfeeding and mint (moderation!) so I don't drink it by the gallon. (forgot that it is green peppermint lime lemongrass tea

    I'm a huge fan of chai in the morning! There's a tea shop sort of near me that does an amazing smoked lapsang souchong/yerba mate chai blend (called Short Sands Chai, after a local beach). Nnnnnnng, so delicious. They also do a vanilla rose chai that tastes divine with honey. My favorite to drink cold is Tazo Passion (or any hibiscus/rosehip herbal, I guess). I like green too but I don't have any right now - I'll have to fix that!

    I recently became a tea addict myself :)

    My local Costco sells these awesome tea sets every so often; total variety of different teas that taste so delicious. Actually at the moment I'm drinking Peppermint Rose. My utmost favorites are that one, Chamomile, Earl Grey (in the morning), green tea, and lemongrass with just a tiny dollop of honey...mmmmm!

    I generally prefer loose leaf tea, but any tea is better than none!

    Edited to add: I only like hot tea.

    I normally have my tea white with 1 sugar and it helps me thru any crisis or bored times ;-)
    But since trying this detox and cutting out dairy and sugars I've found a weak early grey with almond milk has enough sweetness and flavour to keep me satisfied

    I live on cheap decaf black tea with stevia. My husband and I go through about a gallon a day, though he doesn't add the stevia like I do. When I want hot tea, lately my favorite has been Bigelow's vanill chai, so yummy. I've had a hard time finding any other herbal teas that I like, just give me the cheap black tea and I'm good to go.

    I have about 40 different teas at the moment....does that make me an addict? LOL I drink them all day long. Current favorites are Hot Cinnamon Spice, Tillul and Darjeeling from Harney & Sons, Vanilla Almond from Republic of Tea, Bedtime Blend from Twinings and Tumeric Ginger from Republic of Tea.

    But, like I said, I have about 40 different flavors at the moment so I change them up often.

    Always iced and unsweetened. Trader Joe's has a yummy mango black tea. Going out this weekend to go on a ten spree at a local store.

    What's your pick me up tea? Cacao mint black tea from Teavana
    Bedtime tea? Tazo's Rest tea. It's light tea with a citrus-y and flowery taste. Really calming.
    Favourite type of tea? I like green teas, usually infused with some other flavoring.
    Loose leaf? I'm a newbie to loose leaf. I think I may be doing something wrong because the flavor is really muted, even with 2-3 times the recommended amount. I bought Carribean Calypso Mate and Spring Morning Green Tea. They smell amazing, but no flavor. :ohwell:

    I drank loose-leaf tea for a while because I got caught up in a sort of fad, really xD. I still have some, but I rarely reach for them. Most of them are from Teavana. I love their Chateau Blanc flavor! It tastes similar to white grape juice.

    Yorkshire tea teabag - left to brew a little while with just a splash of milk - just to take it off the black!

    In one place I worked the girl who made the tea used to ask if we wanted tea based on a stockings colour chart - very milky was ecru, 'normal' amount of milk but stronger was tan and mine was known as barely black!

    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 think you and I have similar tastes in tea. My absolute favourite is English Breakfast (I drink one every morning with 2 milk and 1 sugar). I really don't like fruity teas, which is why I don't like teavana very much. I was so devastated when teaopia changed to teavana and most of my favourite teas were discontinued.
    Lapsang Souchong is such a distinct flavour, I always describe it as a tea that tastes like camping. I can't think of another way to describe it!
