    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?

    Any loose leaf black with citrus notes, or any golden tipped black Yunnan. I can send you some samples if you like, I am pretty into tea and a mod on Steepster.

    I like English Breakfast, some of the more complex mints like Tazo's Refresh, and Harney and Sons Blackberry. I also have sampled and enjoyed, but not yet bought a full size of Harney and Sons Chocolate Mint, Lapsang Souchong, and Russian Caravan.

    I'm a big fan of chai lattes, but those are for special occasions because I don't like drinking my calories. Besides, most of them are nowhere near spicy enough for me, and I need to grind extra black pepper into the spices to perk it up.

    Anyone try the pu erh teas? Supposed to help with weight loss too just not sure if it's true or how they taste

    I've purchased this through Teavana-my favorite tea place. They taste good but did nothing for weight loss.

    Lemon ginger and Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice.

    It's herbal chai! I love it!

    I've been doing Bigelow's Plantation Mint (black tea with spearmint) at work a lot recently. I'm also a big fan of a strong Earl Grey.

    Chamomile is the worst. It tastes like flowers.

    I start my day with a black tea or coffee, then mid-morning I usually have green or oolong, with lunch I'll have a lemon or roobios, afternoons I usually go with green tea or coffee again then after dinner I'll have a cinnamon spice or chamomile.

    Another lemon and ginger here. Celestial seasonings is the best. Also their red zinger. Earl gray or regular black tea. Coffee of course.

    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 bought yogi stress relief at a friend's recommendation and I don't like it at all! I can mail it to you if your interested! Message me.

    I like Lidl's Green tea with lemon, if I want a little caffeine perk, otherwise its Lidl's Lemon & Ginger or Aldi's Reviving Peppermint.

    I picked up a carton of Taylors Camomile & Vanilla today for a bit of variety, but I've no idea if I'll like it. I'm hoping it will be nice and relaxing.

    Lapsang Souchong by Adagio or Tao of Tea. It's a smoked tea, so it has a nice strong interesting flavor. Also, whenever I brew it at work, someone inevitably asks "Do you smell something burning?"

    Tao of Tea's Red Bush Chai is also excellent. Much lighter than a black chai, with almost zero caffeine. It has all the chai spices with rooibos as a base instead of tea, so it has a sweeter profile.

    I really like going into tea shops and getting loose leaf tea. My favorite night time tea is rooibos and vanilla.

    Tetley's do a really lovely Earl Grey with vanilla, but it's really hard to find. They also do a super nice green tea with lemon - and I don't even like green tea, usually! When it's the evening and I don't want to risk too much caffine, I drink their redbush with vanilla as that's awesome too.

    Any kind of lemon tea, I recommend. I think my current fave is the Celestial Seasonings Lemon Zinger. So good.

    Bigelow brand:
    French Vanilla Decaf tea
    Vanilla Caramel Tea

    I just found these and now I'm hooked. I use a packet of splenda and a few drops of French Vanilla Sugar Free -Fat Free creamer. SO GOOD!!!!!
