    I drink hot tea almost every day at work during the afternoon. These are my favorites, and I like them all plain with nothing added:

    Tazo decaf chai (I am sure their regular chai is awesome too but I happened to get the decaf)
    Madagascar Vanilla
    Lemon Lift
    Tazo China Green Tips
    Tazo Awake
    Jasmine
    Orange Spice
    Earl Grey (especially Twinings brand)

    If it's convenient, I enjoy a splash of milk or creamer in Earl Grey tea sometimes.

    I do like iced tea too. Usually unsweetened or very lightly sweetened (like 2-3 packets of artificial sweetener in a large pitcher). "Constant Comment" is one especially good type of tea bag to make iced tea with.

    I like to drink Yogi brand Vanilla Spice... its on the sweeter side so i only put a little less than a teaspoon of sugar in it. it is really tasty in my opinion.

    I used to try to drink green tea because it is said to help your metabolism, but whenever I did I would break out in these painful cystic pimples on my face... so I gave up on that idea. Wish I knew why my body has that reaction.

    I heat up fat free milk and put in a peppermint tea bag and add cinnamon and cayanne pepper. It reminds me of an Indian tea my friend use to make. I love it!

    I love:

    -Yogi's Ginger Tea - actually an herbal blend of ginger, lemongrass, and some other things… [Edited to add that this tea is like some kind of miracle elixir for heartburn/nausea/stomach aches -- My husband takes it with him whenever he has to travel.]


    -Celestial Seasonings - Candy Cane Lane; Sleepytime Vanilla


    But my favorite teas are all blends from The Tea Spot (they sell online). I discovered them when I lived in Boulder, CO. (They're based out of Boulder so they are everywhere there.) My favorites:

    Bolder Breakfast - a black breakfast tea with a hint of chocolate

    Russian Caravan - a smoky flavored oolong. Smoky tea doesn't sound very good, but it is surprisingly addicting.

    Climbers' High - a blend of yerba mate; black, green, white teas; and herbs

    Clouds and Mist - green tea, my favorite green of all time

    Chai tea (usually with a little vanilla almond milk) is probably my all time favorite. I love it when it's cold out, and the smell just makes me think of homey kitchens. I've made it more than normal this winter due to all the cold fronts that keep drifting through South Texas.

    I also enjoy the Tazo Passion Tea. I usually mix this with a light lemonade to make my own passion tea lemonade during the summer.

    I'm not a big tea drinker, but these two have found their way into my heart...And my pantry and cups.

    I really like tea but what I drink will vary depending on my mood. I enjoy a good Irish Breakfast tea with a little milk and stevia now and then. When I'm sick I like lemon tea with honey or lemon and ginger tea with honey.

    My regular, everyday preferences though are those that tend to be spicy; Vanilla Chai, Pumpkin Cream, Gingerbread Cream, Good Earth Original and my current favorite is Celestial Seasonings Apple Cinnamon.

    I also enjoy peppermint tea on occasion and I always drink it if my stomach is upset. It's also good if you're sleepy but don't want caffeine.

    In for tea!

    I drink a lot of Celestial Seasonings Zinger teas (hot and iced) because that's what I grew up on and I drink unsweetened iced tea and I love hot Oolong (that Oolong Lychee sound amazing!)

    I've had some really amazing teas in my life though not just the crappy American supermarket teas I regularly drink.

    I love various teas. They even have weight loss teas believe it or not!!! I love Chai tea and the best ever is South Africa`s No. 1 Rooibos Tea (Freshpak). It is very smooth. Chocolate Chai is lovely too.

    Oh guys, definitely try this rendition of the London Fog Latte:

    Lavender Earl Grey tea bag, steeped
    Milk or Milk substitute (I use almond breeze vanilla, unsweetened)
    ~1tsp Maple Syrup (tailor sweetness to your liking)
    Dash of nutmeg

    Stir it up, then heat it in the microwave for about 30sec - 1 min. Makes the perfect dessert tea! You can add a cinnamon stick to stir the drink too.

    I don't have any loose leaf teas, I like President's Choice brand teas best so far...

    I presently have Chocolatey Mint black tea which reminds me of an After Eight!

    I also have a herbal called "Feeling soothed" which has peppermint, ginger and fennel

    I drink it black, it's actually quite flavorful compared ot if you put milk or sugar in there

    I'm an early grey kind of girl myself- my favorite right now is lavender earl grey by Tea Revolution- It's a little pricey- but they are actual leaves- and little mesh bags- not ground up crap.

    you can order on line- or get it at Super Wal-Mart (that's the only place I know that carries it in store)

    delicious.

    I love Lemongrass and Ginger, it's really refreshing cold and great hot. It's also the best hangover cure ever.
