I'm in a tea rut! I drink yogi blueberry green tea, and Yerba mate. I'm interested in some other varieties, but hate buying a new box to end up disliking it (looking at you, chamomile). Tell me your go-to(s)!

    I drink two cups of yogi green tea (vitality) daily and squeeze half a lemon into it. It ends up tasting mostly like lemon but I love the vitamin C boost and it's awesome for your metabolism. It does suck to open a box and not enjoy it cause organic tea is not cheap!! Good luck

    I love cranberry pomegranate green tea from STASH. I have to buy it in the 100 bag box from amazon bc I drink so much. I also like orange spice black tea for when I need a bolder flavor

    My two favorite teas are:
    Candy-Cane-Tea.png
    This is a vanilla and peppermint tea. I have it literally year round and it tastes like christmas in a cup. Trust me, this one is a winner! Green tea and decaf.

    This one is a black tea so it's much darker, stronger, and refreshing. I LOVE this tea. :)

    Go to one of those fancy tea places and take some samplers on offer. I like the roobios and the chai.

    Blackberry sage & lavendar black tea from a local tea shop. Smells soooo good & tastes great too!

    Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice. It is amazing and naturally sweet. The "better" more high quality version I find very similar is Harney and Sons-Hot Cinnamon Sunset. It is caffeinated though and expensive for how much I like to drink tea.

    I'm missing out! I live in fairbanks, Alaska. We don't have any specialty tea stores, but we do have a co-op and a health food store. I'll check out their loose leaf varieties! Thanks for the inspiration, everyone!

    Lemon balm. Also Lemon grass. They have a calming effect. :)
    Peppermint because it is a little bit of a pick up,
    I have some white tea in the cupboard but I am not fond of it for some reason.
    Hubby loves the ginger tea I get for him.

    The chais tend to be my favorite, the spicier the better.

    I tried Earl Grey green tea last night, and it was incredible. I normally force myself to drink green tea but this was delicious!

    I love Stash teas; got addicted when I went to England. My favorites:

    Caffeinated:
    Black Chai Spice
    Double Bergamot Earl Grey (the regular is good too; this tastes more orangey)
    White Peach Oolong (yum!)

    Decaf:
    Spice Dragon Red Tea (not really tea--red tea comes from a plant in South Africa. This tastes like apple cider without the sugar or calories.)
    Licorice Spice Tea (don't steep too long unless you're having stomach issues; tastes great)

    2 others I like are Cinnamon Vanilla (any brand but Tazo--yuck!) and Yogi Mint Revitalizing Energy tea.

    Stash and Teavana have online ordering and they usually have several days with free shipping promos around the holidays!

    Just tried Twinning's Irish Breakfast for the first time, and i much prefer it to their English Breakfast tea. Also a big fan of Earl Grey (but not Lady Grey - too floral)

    Twinings Earl Grey. Fell in love with it in England a few years back and nothing else really does it for me tea-wise.

    Just about anything by Harney and Sons. I'm perpetually in love with Hot Cinnamon Spice, Soho, Tower of London, Dragon Pearl Jasmine, Cranberry Autumn, and Blueberry Green. Twinnings Irish Breakfast is my morning cuppa. Bigelow Orange Spice is usually my before-bed tea, although a little Harney Mint is good too.

    Hot cinnamon spice sounds amazing! I'm adding that to my list!
