    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!

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

    Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride is rocking my world right now with a bit of stevia and almond milk. Otherwise anything by Bigelow Teas

    I like Bigelow Constant Comment. It is a black tea with orange spices.

    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!

    Oh! Thanks for the heads up! I'll browse today. I'll check out Amazon, too. Gotta love Amazon prime!

    Actually I almost forgot, there's a tea that I make myself that I love: grated ginger root, the juice of half a lemon, and about 2 tablespoons of honey. I steep it in a Thermos and pour off a cup at a time, then microwave to get it piping hot. Mmmmmmm...

    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 love jasmine green tea. So far I've loved every brand I've tried so I just buy whatever is on sale. Otherwise normal green, earl grey, lady grey (twinnings is best for this), and ceylon <3

    Twinings Earl Grey is how I start my day. I buy it by the case from Amazon. Then I move on to some sort of green or white tea.

    Loose green and white teas. Brew them properly!

    Yup, I like an electric water kettle for this. I heat the water at the lowest setting and steep for exactly three minutes for most green or white teas, two minutes for the St. Dalfour mango.

    Woah! Your tea stash is amazing! I might have to try out earl grey in the mornings. I kicked my coffee habit because I use way too much creamer, now I'm starting to feel the itch for a little caffeine in the mornings. Especially with two toddlers running the house.

    My favorite tea is Chrysanthemum. I get it from a little imported tea shop in my neighborhood. I also like Rooibos, white teas and Chamomile. A friend of mine grows her own chamomile and dries it. I have gotten tea from her a few times.
