Since moving, I've not been able to find the teas I used to drink in stores, so I've been trying new things. My current favourites are Bigelow's Raspberry Royale and Trader Joe's Vanilla Cinnamon black tea. Twining's Earl Grey is also good. The raspberry and earl grey both make nice iced teas, which is good for my new climate

I miss trader joes! They definitely don't have any of those here in Alaska. I did find out we have a specialty tea store, though. That's awesome. I tried their lavender Yerba mate today, it was pretty good but very fragrant. I think I'd enjoy it more if it were vanilla. I'm boring that way, I guess.

I don't drink it too often as I prefer coffee more. When I do, it's Lipton with one packet of Stevia.0

Rooibos
Lemon-ginger
Mandarin green tea0 -

I like black teas mostly. Right now I'm into Russian Caravan, which has lapsang souchong in it, so it's very smoky. I have to steep the loose tea and remove it after about 90 seconds otherwise that smoky flavor gets too strong. I like it with a stevia.
Also, agree with the Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride. It's fun and light. Earl Grey Crème is wonderful if you can find it. I love that little touch of vanilla. I like to order from The Art of Tea. http://www.artoftea.com/0 -
How funny. My favorite right now is Russian Caravan. I'm considering switching over to Lapsang Souchong - I found the smokiness a bit much the first time I tasted it, but I think after drinking Russian Caravan for months I've become acclimated. It will probably be about perfect now.
I haven't met anyone else who likes it.
I also love complex mint teas. I really like Tazo's refresh - all the other herbs really make it for me. Peppermint tea is nice, but I get bored with it easily.
Chai lattes are my other go-to. I'm really specific with those. I like it heavy on the black pepper/cinnamon/nutmeg, medium on clove, and light on the cardamom.0 -
Bigelow Salted Caramel with a splash of milk and sugar. Bigelow Vanilla Chai is good too. i'm mostly a coffee drinker so I look for teas that with a few fixings have a pretty rich flavor.0

Adiago has some yummy flavors, you can sample packs and sample sizes so you're not making a huge commitment. Their fruit tinsanes are fabulous for summer drinking cold. I alternate between several types including orange, strawberry, berry, and a great pina colada flavor. My friend has found several flavored black and green teas she orders regularly as well.
I also order from mountainroseherbs.com We use their medicinal herbal teas, especially their ecchinacia and roots tea during cold and flue season. For my own drinking pleasure, there's a chocolate mint yerba mate that's fantastic and an herbal chai that is dynamite either cold or hot sweetened with a touch of stevia and a dash of coconut milk.0 -
Spearmint
Red Rooibos
Green Rooibos
White tea0 -
I have been drinking Celestial Seasonings' Red Zinger since it first came out in the mid 1960's when I was in college. These days I add some TruLemon ( dehydrated lemon) and a bit of Stevia.
I also drink Tazo's Passion and Rishi's Tropical Hibiscus.
All of them are rosehip and hibiscus based with other herbs added depending on the brand.
I keep a pitcher in the fridge;bits of fruit get tossed in occasionally to make an herb tea version of sangria.
The tea is also good hot.
The other one I drink occasionally is a Lemon Ginger tea. I think it is Twinings. I take this one like I take my men: straight, strong and spicy ( giggle )0 -

Take a look at the Rishi website. I have sampled a few of their teas and been very pleased.They are a bit pricey but well worth it in my opinion.

spiced chai, orange spice, green and black teas are my go to teas. not very original, but I enjoy them...0

I love anything by Traditional Medicinals. They all just taste so good! Plus, they really do work. The Smooth Move really will get things moving, if you know what I mean.
Also, I really like Rishi teas. I can buy them in bulk by the pound, so it's really convienent for me to just buy a little bit of a new tea to tase.
Yogi and Tazo are okay, but they're not my favorites. I like the Evertday Detox from Yogi and the Chai from Tazo the most.0 -
I drink lots of teas and herbal infusions. My favourites for winter are russian-type blends (twinnings russian caravan for example), irish breakfast blends (again twinnings has a decent version) and earl grey (whittard is my favourite when it comes to big brands). When it comes to herbal infusion, I love warm Turkish apple teas, and also ironwort and sage with a bit of honey. Also a cup of honeybush before bed.0
-
Rooibos is my go to tea, I love it with and without milk/honey. Also Twinings Caramelised Apple Green Tea and Teapigs Chai.0
-
Bushells Tea - Extra Strong.
I do also drink some liptons green tea but for weight loss only. Cant stand the taste.

I don't know if you have a bulk barn where you live, but they actually carry a surprising array of rather serviceable looseleaf teas now for a fraction of the cost, plus you can try as much or as little as you like.
My tastes skew a little darker, so I very much enjoy their black currant black, and chai black teas, but they have a lot of green options. Their vanilla roiibos is also quite good.
I make most of these into iced teas to cut soda out of my diet. Even the sugar free stuff isn't great for you. Diet sugars aside, there is nothing worse for your teeth than carbonation.0 -
Oh boy! I love tea
I love a loose leaf white apricot peach tea (order online from tea sante in Montreal...yum!)
Jasmine green tea (organic from Numi)
Tetley earl grey vanilla
Rooibos (check out different flavours...vanilla is nice)
Peach ginger black tea
Btw...add some honey to chamomile makes it taste better!0 -
Adiogo Strawberry! Drink that stuff by the truckloads and it has helped me kick the pop habit. I add a bit of Truvia and dried spearmint from the garden.0

Ohh I need to hunt down some jasmine green tea again. I had some a while back and never replaced it when I ran out. And honey in the chamomile -- good idea!

Dried spearmint! I'm wondering if I can find that in town somewhere. Maybe I can grow a plant after winter breakup. Alaska's (summer) midnight sun is good for gardens!

Oh I want to add The Republic of Tea brand. The flavors I love are Vanilla Almond and Blackberry Sage. Especially the Blackberry Sage. They are kind of an investment at around $8-11 for a tin of 50 bags. But worth it. They also have a holiday flavor called Comfort & Joy that is very tasty -- has some cinnamon & spice and everything nice in it.0

Awesome! I just ordered Harney & Sons classic hot cinnamon spice tea for myself. Looking forward to trying that out when it arrives. For international tea day today, I'll have green tea.
Cheers!

Matcha Green tea. It tastes great. And it so much better for you compared to regular green tea! 0

Google "free tea samples". Several companies will send you a few teabags to try out. I like the Yogi ones - my friends and I send them to each other.

One of my favorites to make at home is fresh ginger and cinnamon stick, steeped in boiled water. I like things spicy so I steep it overnight. (Pour boiled water over ginger and cinnamon. Once it cools, put it in the fridge). It's great cold or reheated in the microwave. I sometimes add lemon and honey.
Another tea I like has an amusing name and a great flavor. Horny Goat Weed Tea. I buy it at a local market, but Amazon has it too.
I just finished a pot of peppermint tea.0
