    I drink tea daily. Mornings are usually a cup or two of Yorkshire Gold (the brand is Taylor's of Harrogate). For the afternoons, I'll have either sencha green tea, jasmine green tea, or genmaicha (green tea with toasted rice). I also really like yerba mate with honey.

    During the summer, I cold brew my own iced tea with any number of different teas - jasmine and mango ceylon are two of my favorites.

    I got an Assorted Variety Tea box from Taylors of Harrogate for Christmas and their black teas are good but their green tea with jasmine and their chamomile tea are my favorites.

    I drink iced tea in the summer and when I go out to a restaurant...otherwise I don't drink much tea.

    I've never tried their green teas as I usually buy Japanese brands, but that's very good to know! Also a fan of chamomile on nights that I can't fall asleep.

    ETA: Also, here's a tip for brewing regular green tea the Japanese way - Use cooler water (158 F is ideal) and steep it for no longer than 90-120 seconds. This produces a less bitter, more delicate and cup which means you can pick up more of the subtle nuances of the tea.

    I love tea, but am picky.

    I'm currently drinking about 5-6 cups per day total of black, rooibos chai, and kava.

    Ah. And this is why the green tea at home is never as good as the Japanese restaurants. Thanks for the tip.

    I love kava, but I've only had it in Hawaii. Is there a brand that's available on the mainland that you like?

    I just drink normal lipton black tea with milk, no sugar, around 6 cups a day.

    I've tried many of the froo froo teas and haven't liked any of them.

    I bag of Yogi/Tazo Peppermint tea + 1 bag of Yogi/Tazo Ginger tea + 12 oz water = Gingermint bliss. I can probably spend the rest of my life drinking just that. Add 1-2 tsp of honey for sweetness and yum!

    Love it, drink it at least twice a day. Pretty much anything except Earl Grey - I tried to like it but just don't. I really love cinnamon teas - my fave is Sweet and Spicy black tea from Good Earth - the herbal is good too but I am usually having it at work so I need the caffeine. And when I have a cold (or anytime really) I love regular Lipton tea with lots of honey, lemon and some brandy in it. Very yummy and relaxing.

    Sleepytime tea every night before bed. Sometimes some lemon tea or Tazo Awake during the day.

    I like tea THIS much. I like Chais.

    This week I had this:

    There's a great local tea place that does mail order.

    http://www.glenns-restaurant.com/teamenu.htm

    An everyone should have this at least once.

    I'm not fond of black tea or green tea or most herbal teas.

    But I have discovered that I like:

    -- rooibos chai tea
    -- lemon ginger tea
    -- chamomile infused with some sort of flavour, my favourite being apple cinnamon

    I drink two cups of Tetley Bold each and every day. I have a cupboard full of other teas but I rarely drink them. Once every few months I have a peppermint or a cinnamon or licorice when I want a no-caffeine hot drink.

    I like a morning and afternoon tea, usually Bigelow Plantation Mint black tea or one of the Celestial Seasons holiday teas I stockpiled lol.

    It seems to be really hard to find. The only brand I can find is Yogi.
