    I typically have English or Irish Breakfast Tea in the morning with milk and stevia, and either hot green tea (plain) or iced in hot weather, in the afternoon. I like a good jasmine green tea, hojicha (which is a more robust roasted green tea), or a green tea with mint. Green tea has a number of benefits, and is believed to be good for prostate cancer: http://www.webmd.com/prostate-cancer/news/20121018/green-tea-cancer-prevention-new-clues

    I'm a massive tea drinker, I've always got a mug on the go. Black tea, I like Lady Grey (bit stronger-tasting than Earl Grey). I don't like plain green tea much but I love the flavoured ones- green tea and pomegranate is my favourite, also green tea with cranberry.

    But I agree, green tea does bog all for weight loss. It does keep you hydrated and has almost zero calories though.

    I read somewhere that oolong is meant to help with weight loss but I don't think there's any science behind it and it tastes like camel dung anyway.

    Too funny. I love lady grey and feel it is milder than English Breakfast and Ear Grey. I chuckled at your comment about oolong tea which my husband loves. Ha ha.

    I like many varieties of tea. I usually drink 2-5 cups of green tea per day and sometimes some black tea.

    I love green tea and any citrus flavor or notes in the tea. I usually have 2-3 cups of green tea a day. It doesn't necessarily help with weight loss. But it does replace my latte and coffe with lots of creamer habit.

    I drink tea when I'm craving a glass of wine after dinner, so it really helps me keep down the calories! Green tea has caffeine though so not great in the evenings. Try adding fresh mint or ginger to black or herbal teas to give a flavour boost without artificial sweeteners.
    Adore Tea in Australia has a great range that you can purchase online :)

    I love tea! I drink green tea for breakfast every day with a dash of stevia and a squeeze of lemon juice and then have a fruitier tea either a teavana orange blossom and youthberry or a pomegranate green tea later in the day without any sweeteners or lemon. Before bed I love a big mug of warm chamomile tea with just a little stevia.

    What are the best flavours of tea?

    I think herbal tea smells delicious but tastes bad. I'm wondering if I should add some stevia to it?

    Generally, I just drink English breakfast with some milk.

    Black tea with a splash of milk first thing or I am a miserable sod all day. Green tea in the afternoons and evenings, currently Whittards Sencha or Zhejiang gunpowder tea. Green and white teas are an acquired taste for certain and it pays to brew them correctly.

    I'm more of a coffee fan. However, I do like Lipton Tea with stevia and lemon in it when I'm sick.

    The more tea I drink, the less likely I am to to feel the impulse to snack. I drink black and green tea varieties in the morning and herbal in the afternoon and evening. Trader Joe tea varieties are very good. I like their Chai and Pear & Ginger especially.
