Looking for a tea

Harney & Sons is a good tea company. I've liked almost every tea I've tried from them and for the quality of their tea they have good prices.

Do you like coke, pepsi, coffee? Then pick a dark tea like oolong, orange pekoe, English breakfast, or Earl Grey.

Do you like cinnamon, spicy? Then try a chai.

I have started drinking more hot and iced tea, too. I've completely weaned off soda (have been for over 3 years now! But I was borderline homicidal for about 3 months when I stopped soda cold turkey.
As mentioned earlier, if you really don't like tea, don't make yourself drink something you don't like. There are other healthier options out there. You could also try flavored sparking waters (every so often I have a Perrier or LaCroix for the fizz.)
If you just aren't sure what teas you may like, try several. (A good place to do this is a tea or coffee house - they can make suggestions and they will brew it perfectly so you get a good impression of the tea.)
You have black teas, green teas, and herbal teas/tissanes. For starters, I suggest finding a blended tea with flavors that you already like (ex: green tea with mint or ginger, or black tea with cinnamon, citrus or berry flavors). When you try a new tea, check how long you should steep it (depends on the variety) to get the best flavor. Too short = weak, too long = bitter. Personally, I like Tazo teas (in the US). I have a tower of the cute square tins at my desk (I was describing my Tazo flavors earlier). I also add 5-7 drops of liquid stevia (I use plain, but it also comes in flavors) to make the "notes" of the tea stand out and make it sweeter without adding sugar. Sometimes lemon is nice, too.

My favorite is Earl Grey but I have no idea what you may like.

I second Teavanna. I just went today to refill my stash actually. They are super helpful and I've never had a tea I didn't like from there.

Lol, as of late I've been drinking diet sweet tea from McDonald's for a $1.00 for a large.

I find tea to be quite bitter and it isn't my favourite drink ... or wasn't until I discovered rooibos tea and lemon-ginger tea.

They both seem to have a milder and sweeter flavour which I like. And I don't have to add anything to them to make them taste good.

I especially like the Aurora Medaglia D'oro Lemon & Ginger tea ... and I'm trying to remember what the rooibos tea I like is called.

Find a Teavana or a David's Tea. There are so many types and blends, you are bound to find something you really like.

So, I don't like tea...but I know it's super good for you, and I gave up soda like a month ago. What is a tea out there that I might actually like to drink?

I put a cold passion tea bag in a bottle of water. If you don't like tea don't drink it.

I love tea, drink it every day. For caffeinated (not so much these days) I love Jasmine Green (gets bitter so don't steep too long), Black Currant a black tea from Peet's coffee, white coconut creme from Art of Tea, earl grey. For decaf I drink mint almost every day, honey lavender is nice, chamomile, peach (not sure on brand).

Also try adding a bit of honey, lemon juice or a dash of milk to your teas. I prefer mine black but if you don't particularly like tea it might appeal more to you.
