What are your favorite teas?

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 absolutely adore Tulsi's Rose Tea! It's so calming and unique. Smells amazing, perfect pre bedtime tea

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

My favorite teas are bigelow green tea with lemon and celestial seasonings green teas

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.

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.

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 )

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!

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.

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.

Rooibos is my go to tea, I love it with and without milk/honey. Also Twinings Caramelised Apple Green Tea and Teapigs Chai.
