I'm starting to get into tea. I had Hibiscus yesterday and I'm hooked. What are some teas that you guys drink?

    I like mostly back teas, some herbal. The Republic of Tea has some good varieTeas (see what I did there?)
    I've also got a local place that makes a really good unsweetened black coconut tea that I purchase by the gallon.

    My main tea is iced tea. I use 2 flavored bags (Twinings Mixed Berries) + one "family" sized bag (Lipton or Luzianne). Makes a half gallon of lightly flavored tea.

    Favorite hot teas........

    Black tea - Bigelow Vanilla Chai or Apple Spice Chai. Pretty mild compared to some other Chais.

    Green tea - Lipton Mandarin Orange (with green tea make sure your water is not too hot or the tea will be bitter)

    Rooibos (red tea) Celestial Seasonings Madagascar Vanilla

    Herbal - Stash Cinnamon Apple Chamomile

    I drink white tea, which is made from the same plant as black and green tea, but with lower caffeine than either. Prince of Peace is great for my budget. Also a big fan of chamomiles and lavenders, and any that lets me make believe I live in a magical cottage in the woods, sipping flowers all day. Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer is a nice blend. I keep ginger tea around in case I overeat, or eat a meal too high in fat for my belly.

    All time favorite tea: Republic of Tea's Blackberry Sage

    Tazo teas are wonderful - Organic/Classic Chai, Awake English Breakfast, Organic Darjeeling and Earl Grey are my faves!

    When your ready to take it to a complete mania, you can bought tea from a specialty store, such as uptontea.com. You'll learn that there's no such thing as "English Breakfast Tea." (It's a re-branding of, typically, tea from the Assam region of India.)

    In general, I get all my normal tea from Upton.com (typically, Assam) plus some herbal from the grocery store. Lataly, I have liked Yogi Chai Rooibos. Another great style for dieters is "Gen-mai Cha," which is Japanese green tea with toasted brown rice. Chinese Oolong tea is also considered helpful for dieting.

    Builders. Twinings green tea with mint is pleasant enough every now and again, though.

    I like different varieties of Chinese tea (that is, tea strictly speaking). Pu-erh is wonderful. Lapsang Souchong is good, if I'm in the mood.

    "Chai", of course, just means "tea", from the most common word for tea in China, cha. When Americans say chai they usually mean Masala chai, the spiced black tea from India. Most coffeehouses use either commercially bottled or a syrup, so it's not always brewed as recently as one would like, but there are coffeehouses local to me where they make it themselves, and it's excellent.

    Wow. So many options...And I plan on trying them all! I hit up Teavana on the way home. Overwhelming. I bought the glass pot. Psyched.

    Chai. You can get it in decaf too. It tastes like dessert to me. Love it.

    Earl grey creme: https://www.amazon.com/Earl-Grey-Creme-Black-Teavana/dp/B00BBL7GWC
    Wow. So smooth and decadent with the tiniest hint of vanilla sweetness. By far my favorite. I need to buy more.

    Lazy (bags): Earl grey or passion by Tazo. Currently (like JUST sat down with it) drinking wild orange by tazo. Its free at my work and quick.
