I love pretty much all kinds of tea with the exception of green tea. I usually drink Earl Grey tea, which is black tea with some orange and floral notes. Other than that, just plain old black tea. I was hoping that I could get some suggestions from any tea drinkers out there for some new teas to try :) I'd also be open to things that aren't exactly made from tea leaves, like herbal teas or floral ones. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

ETA: I realize that I could just Google "different types of tea" but I want answers from real-live people that are trying to stay healthy like me :P

    I drink bigelow blueberry green tea a lot. Even if you dont like green tea, the blueberry overpowers the flavor and it is so good!

    I'm hooked on chai tea, I have several different varieties at home. If you're just looking for tea bags, Stash or Tazo are my favorites, but if you want loose teas, Teavana has so many different choices

    Hi...... I'm new here (today, 12/04/11). My name is Wick, a nickname since birth. Right at the moment I am drinking Choice Organic Oolong Tea (hot). I drink all kinds of hot tea. Living in Florida , where it's quite hot at times, I've just started drinking Ice Tea, as well. I had read a while ago that Oolong was drunk by those looking to lose weight. When I tried it for the first time, I found it had a soothing, fresh flavor and it was perfect as an afternoon tea, so it has become a favorite of mine. I drink a great deal of Green Tea, also; however I found Salada to be very bitter , so I stick mainly to Bigelow, Stash, Tazo and Twinning Teas. For old- fashion Southern Iced Tea, I use Lipton tea bags as my husband's Southern five- generation family has used.

    I drink a lot of herbal infusions. Mixed berry, blueberry, cranberry and pomegranate, mint and spice, vanilla rooibos, rooibos chai, and apple comprise my current herbal infusion stash. All tasty with no caffiene and stuff all calories.

    You should try Constant Comment. It's black tea flavored with orange rind and spices. It's a nice change!

    I am a huge fan of Yogi Egyptian Licorice teas. A lot of licorice teas are cloying and grassy,but this has other spices and is really well-balanced. Nice natural sweetness from the licorice too. It is great for digestion.

    If you like green tea, matcha green tea (powdered green tea) mixed with almond milk and honey is delish (google the benefits of matcha green tea--simply amazing overall healthy beverage and mega antioxidant over bagged green tea)! :smile:

    Also, Christmas is coming up. Your family members are probably looking for stocking stuffers for you. Tell them to get you an assortment!

    I bought a stash of Caramel Vanilla tea. Great if you need something sweet without the calories! Amazon is a great place to look for tea. I've had Apricot, mint, vanilla chi, caramel, vanilla, lemon, raspberry etc. i get my love of tea from my mom!

    If you are up for trying herbal teas, Chamomile isn't bad.

    I like redbush tea - and have found a vanilla one which I have progressed to sticking 2 teabags in a cup and leave to brew for a good 10 mins for a stronger taste.It's got no caffeine in it so doesn't keep u awake!

    My favorites are Lipton Chai, Stash Ginger Peach Green Tea, and my go-to tea nearly every day is orange pekoe, with a lemon wedge, and a packet of stevia.
