    Teavana's Capital of Heaven Keemun. Alas, they discontinued it. :/ Golden Monkey is a close second.

    That's for loose leaf tea. For tea bags I like Tazo's Awake English Breakfast.

    Stash's Licorice Spice for herbal.
    Otherwise a Jasmine Green or a good Earl Grey.

    i HATE tea with a passion and im not a fussy eater at all.. but to my surprise i do like twinnings liquorice tea!

    It takes time to find a tea that you like. I didn't use to like tea but I go to an anime convention every year. My sister and friend are both super into the lolita fashion and wanted to go to the tea party. So I went and tried a pomegranate green tea and fell in love with it. From there I just started experimenting till I found teas that I liked.

    There's no way I can choose just one favorite tea, but I would recommend Tieguanyin Anxi "Monkey Picked" oolong. It's one of my favorite oolongs. I love the deep, richly sweet flavor and the very fresh, stone-fruit aroma. Soft yet complex, this wild-grown Tieguanyin is oxidized slightly less than the traditional 50-70%, more like the modern-style Tieguanyins. This is the type of oolong that is often referred to as ‘Monkey-picked Oolong’, one of the more confusing terms in all of Chinese tea vernacular. I tend to believe the tales of tea-plucking in such remote places and on such rugged terrain that it required the assistance of trained monkeys to access the plants. The fable is also considered to be a possible antithesis to the white tea of the Emperors, plucked only by white-silk-gloved-virgins. Who knows definitively about the lore, but the tea tastes fantastic!

    I have never tried oolong tea, so I will have to give this a try. I love the story too. Haha

    Oolong tea is so good!! I have been drinking this green tea with ginger from the local health food store. It's grown locally and made by the Mennonites. I am absolutely addicted to it!

    I have to stay away from tea with ginger, it makes me sick. :(

    I really like TieGuanYin too, but my favourite is a Chinese clack tea called JinJunMei. It has a accented caramel flavor and it is not so acid as the British style black teas. It leaves a pleasant fresh aftertaste.

    I love cozy chamomile tea. I have a cup every night. I haven't tried the Sleepytime Peach. That sound good! :smile:

    I really like Chai (spicy tea) or mango green tea. For herbal, right now I'm loving the Snore & Peace from Clippers before bed :)

    Yes, the Capital of Heaven and Golden Monkey are very much like this, which is why I love them so much. And I totally forgot about the Monkey Picked Oolong! That stuff is amazing.

    It is really, really good!!! I love it and I also love the blackberry pomegranate but our Walmart stopped carrying it. I have to go to Homeland for my Peach. I'll probably just start ordering them online though. Tired of stores getting rid of things I love.

    I got a mango green tea for my fiance to try. He loves mango stuff. He hasn't tried it yet though. I'll make him a cup with his breakfast this weekend.

    ginger is usually good for nausea

    It messed with my blood pressure or something. At first it happened and I didn't know what it was. Next day no tea, was fine. So day after tried the tea again and same problems. I looked it up online and it said ginger can affect blood pressure. So I haven't had anything with ginger since.

    Golden Monkey is probably my favorite. It's has a great smokey flavor. I'm a bit of a tea snob so Lipton and I are not friends. And I try to stick to loose teas. Love a good chamomile at night (its good for the GI tract).

    My favorite is English Breakfast but I also like Green, Oolong, Orange Pekoe and other red/black tea hybrids. However, I cannot tolerate Earl Grey. That stuff is just nasty in my opinion.
