    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!

    My standard reply. English Breakfast or Earl Grey. And mostly Twinings bought off amazon because it's better than the stuff I get in German supermarket. I like to drink it with a dash of caramelized rock sugar and a blob of milk.

    However, since it's been getting warm here, I am popping a bag of green tea from China into a pitcher of cold water and let it rest overnight. It's the best thirst quencher there is for me. I drink that without anything else added.

    My favorite herbal tea is camomile, favorite caffeinated tea is green tea.
    I drink my hot teas plain, but as an occasional treat I will get some iced bubble tea sweetened with sugar.

    I love strawberry rose champagne, samuria chai mate, and peach tranquility as well as green tea , purchased from teavana. I drink those without sugar, but English breakfast ,vanilla chai and Indian chai are my favorite quick breast teas that I add sugar and almond milk to, those I get out of the grocery store Stash brand.

    I love tea, loose leaf, matcha, green, black, iced, hot, white, NO sweetener, NO milk, I will drink herbals and spiced but am not fond of a lot of cinnamon. My sone is a ceramic artist so I get really nice tea bowls and cups too!

    I luvs me some tea. Two favorites that come to mind are pu ehr and masala chai. Loose leaf of course.

    But I'm not always a tea snob and one of my favorite treats is a simple iced sweet black tea. Sadly those have pretty much disappeared since I started a fitness regiment a few weeks ago. Oh sweet tea I do miss you so.

    Fortunately I can keep enjoying my loose leaf teas.

    I like green tea with jasmine in the mornings. In the afternoon, I have black rose tea. I love earl grey tea as well. I don't have any sweeteners or milk with mine.

    I have a lemongrass tea when I'm in need of a pick-me-up! Really helps with a boost of energy :)
    I drink green tea all the time, already had two cups today!
    I've also got forest fruit tea, and strawberry and raspberry tea in the cupboard which are really refreshing!

    What's your pick me up tea? - Earl Grey
    Bedtime tea? - Earl grey
    Favourite type of tea? - Early Grey
    Loose leaf? - Earl Grey

    Spotting a pattern yet? I drink way too many cups of that luscious drink with skimmed milk every day, although I do like chai latte sometimes and will drink other teas when out and no Earl Grey is available!

    Love it!
    :love:

    I recently discovered Teavana, which has been a lifesaver after giving up diet coke. I bought an infusion pitcher from Starbucks and mix different Teavana teas in it, which I then ice & drink cold.

    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.

    I don't think I'm allergic but green tea does make my throat and mouth dry out a bit whenever I try to drink it on it's own. I can drink it if it's blended with something else but usually just stay away as I'm not not overfond of the taste....weird since I love white and black teas

    I drink green tea daily, but I have also been making sun tea every 2 days! I love it!

    It is definitely nice in the evening.

    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?

    The main two teas I usually drink are grean tea and chamomile tea. For a while, I was trying to replace soda with tea. I should really try that again.
