    Black tea, and biscuits. :tongue:

    In all seriousness, I really like Green tea, and Lemon herbal with Honey when I am not feeling well.

    Also like a slice of toast, or some popcorn. A Bit of an oddball, I know.

    My favorite is jasmine green tea. It's surprisingly good with multigrain cheerios. I'm also a fan of bengal spice (a cinnamon, ginger, etc. mix) with a gala apple. I like chamomile by itself before bed. I tried red velvet chocolate tea at a winery yesterday and it was really good.

    Yorkshire and a Stroopwafel. Heavenly.

    I drink herbal teas and roobis tea. I'm allergic to caffine so so that's all I can have. Teavanna has good flavors =)

    When it comes to teas, I'll drink any kind of tea except peppermint, plain chamomile, and anise/licorice. I'll take elderberry or valerian - both of which have their own level of funky tastes - tea over mint. (Yuck!)

    What do I eat with it? What DON'T I eat with it? :)

    Yogi (that's the brand) Classic India Spice. It's soooo delicious with a little milk or cream... it's sweetened with stevia, and particularly warming on a crisp fall day...

    I'm currently enjoying a mug of Twinings French Vanilla Chai tea, as I'm a huge fan of black teas, although I love all kinds.

    Jasmine Green is my go-to with chinese, or oriental food.

    On brisk days Guayaki's Mate Chocolatte is bliss in a cup.

    I also like Celestial Seasonings' Bengal Spice and Teavana's Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls Green Tea.

    Tea Forte anything, but mostly the Orchid Vanilla and Hazelnut Truffle teas.

    For herbal, Twinings has it made. Blueberry Apple. Cranberry Raspberry Elderflower. Raspberry Strawberry Loganberry.

    I usually drink herbal tea as a wind down, so no snack. If I'm drinking a black tea, biscuits are best. McVittie's chocolate are preferred, but harder to get in the US than Hobnobs, which will do in a pinch. Walker's shortbread in the fall/winter (oooh nearly time).

    No, I can see how that could be interpreted as such though. :laugh:

    Chai is probably my favourite, but I also love Earl Gray, English Breakfast, Constant Comment, and mint.

    Previously Lipton green tea but these days I just squeeze lemon in my hot water with honey to taste or without :wink:

    Oh man. My favorite teas change with relative frequency because I try sooooooo many (we're talking 600+ in the last 18 months).

    I keep a spreadsheet that is satisfyingly well organized to keep track of everything.

    My highest rated teas of all time at present are:

    Giddapahar Musk 2nd Flush FTGFOP (Thunderbolt Teas)
    Tangerine Blossom Red Tea (Shang Tea)
    Bergamot Rose Laoshan Black (Verdant Tea)

    I really love Irish Breakfast, Chai, and Peppermint. If I eat anything with the tea, it's usually one of my muffin recipes (e.g., Coconut Flour Blueberry Muffins or Paleo Banana Chocolate Muffins).

    BTW, I am not paleo, but I like baking with coconut and almond flours, as they provide higher fiber baked goods.

    I love plain, unsweetened black tea... Bigelow or Luzianne... iced. It's a great foil for any and all things sweet, from fruit to dark chocolate to salted caramel gelato.

    Blackberry tea is also great on ice; it was a sad day imho when Celestial Seasonings stopped making theirs. Jasmine tea is lovely hot or iced. So is Celestial Seasonings peppermint, and it's also a great steam for respiratory congestion. Constant Comment (orange and black pekoe) is probably my favorite hot tea.

    Earl grey with a sugar/stevia packet. I'll eat anything with it, but I'm a particular sucker for shortbread cookies with it.

    Earl Grey or just a basic black tea. I also like cold iced tea. Normally, I don't eat anything with it, it's usually a way for me to keep from snacking at work.

    I like peppermint tea with no snack, however I have been known to indulge in a chocolate chip muffin and peppermint tea after a group run.

    ^^this, all day and all night. Hot in the morning, iced during the day, and hot decaf version before bed. It's delicious!
