I have 1-2 milky PG Tips in the morning, occasionally a peppermint at night to relax... Been thinking it's time to branch out a little

What are your favourites?

    In...to get some new ideas myself.

    I like English Breakfast or Earl Grey for mornings, lemon & ginger or peppermint midday (afternoon "pick-me-ups" without added caffeine), chamomile in the evening. Probably an equally "boring" tea schedule, but those are my favorites.

    Lately for the evenings I've been enjoying a nice licorice tea, or ginger tea. YUM.

    My current favourite is desert lime tea. Second is ginger tea, preferably with fresh ginger root. I also like mixing half a scoop of my chocolate protein powder with a little cold water, then adding hot water - tastes just like hot chocolate.

    Two votes for lemon & ginger. Also blueberry & blackberry, cinnamon spice, licorice, hot protein choc... Making notes of these, thanks guys

    Didn't think of the sugar-free latter, cityruss! (My fella had me try hot Vimto recently and it was so sickly)

    I'll give redbush a go too. The one time green tea happened it left me grimacing and watery eyed whilst internally convincing myself of the health benefits

    With green tea the trick tends to be, don't leave it brewing for more than 3 minutes. More than that and it tastes like death.

    I've been mixing green tea with mint tea & lemon in the morning, then I do coconut white tea or coconut chai black tea in the afternoon. I switch it up sometimes with ginger tea or tazo passion and I drink it all black (with the exception of adding lemon to my green tea). Matcha green tea is awesome but a pain to make and kind of expensive, but that's in my regular rotation too! :)

    Green tea, extra strong. Makes me feel full after drinking which is an added bonus.

    A chai. I will add one sweetener pack. Sometimes I add sugar-free syrups, vanilla or pumpkin spice.

    Twinings do an orange and lotus flower green tea which is delicious. Most green teas are scrummy though, but like someone else has said, don't overbrew green tea coz it does taste awful otherwise.

    I'm mostly a coffee girl, but I really enjoy Celestial Seasoning's teas. The Raspberry Zinger and Mandarin Orange spice are a couple of faves.

    I have a whole cabinet just for my tea collection! I have plenty of standard teas and a lot of specialties from local places, but my favorites right now are grape scented oolong, English breakfast with dried cherries, and green rooibos with mango and rose petals. Yummy!

    At night I am always cold lately so I have some Celestial Seasonings Honey Vanilla Chamomile Tea. It relaxes me & warms me up. :)

    Celestial Seasonings Country Peach and Apple Cinnamon Spice lately. Sleepytime Extra and Alvita Lemongrass are perennial favorites. I drink coffee too, but only in the mornings.

    Twinings Chai Tea - one with caffeine in the morning, and then any others throughout the day are decaf.

    You're all awesome. Thank you! Hopefully this helps anyone else stuck in a tea rut

    Now, which to try first? D:

    I like the Yogi brand teas a lot. My current favorites are the vanilla spice (replaced my undying love for French vanilla coffee that I had to give up) and soothing bedtime caramel.

    I'm die hard early grey fan.

    I have "branched out" to a lavender earl gray- and I also love lady grey- which has slightly more bergemon in it- which I like.

    once in a blue moon I use a chai to spice things up- but not often.

    Trader Joe's " Well Rested" is in my cabnet as well.

    Herbal teas are reserved for when I'm sick.

    I'm currently loving Stash's "Chai Green" & "Mango Passionfruit" (decaf for afternoons) and Celestial Seasonings' "Honey Vanilla Chamomile" - YUM!

    I have a lot of puerh, both sheng and shou. Asking what they taste like is sort of like asking someone what fruit tastes like. It comes in tons of different types. It can range from "barnyard" notes to mushroom to...well, all over the board.

    As far as weight loss, don't believe that stuff. Drink it if you enjoy it but don't expect it to work magic.
