Not sure how you feel about sucralose sweetener... I usually drink tea unsweetened, but I make an exception for chai.
Heat 2 cups milk and 2 packets (yep) of sucralose in a mug in the microwave, stirring every minute until it boils.
Steep two teabags of Celestial Seasonings Chai (I use it because I need decaf because of migraines).
To die for, and rather nutritious as long as you don't object to artificial sweeteners. This is equivalent to 4 tsp of sugar, so it would be an extra 60 calories with regular table sugar.0 -
I just started drinking Rishi Earl Grey Rooibos tea (technically its an herb but brewed the same as tea). Its naturally decaffeinated and has a hint of citrus. Loose leaf white tea is also a good option.0

Monk Pear, or Camomile! Not sure where your from but Australia has a tea range called "T2" which has fantastic varieties! They had a choc chip tea which you had with soy milk which tasted like heaven- oh and mint slice tea! So yummy- but their fruit teas are phenomenal too!0

I buy the Bigelow box with the variety of teas. I drink a lot of chamomile tea, mints, peach, blueberry, orange spice, etc. It has replaced my coffee drinking. Oh, and lemon zest tea from bigelow I think it is. Ammaazzzzinngg.
I drink it hot. I don't like ice tea. Ever.0 -

I drink healtheries or twinings range of herbal teas. At the moment I'm drinking healtheries be charged tea with ginseng vanilla and blackcurrant, twinings sweet fennel tea and chamomile tea. Another favourite of mine is rosehips and hibiscus. I don't like adding sweeteners but if I feels like sweetening it up a bit I just add a teaspoon of honey. I usually choose the ones that are going to provide a boost or help relax or even aid digestion depending on my mood there are just so many different varieties to choose!0

Have you concidered looking at non-commercial teas? Rose Hips make a good tea and are very high in Vitamin C. Honeysuckle tea (brew washed fllowers in a tea ball... add a little stevia) contain an antiviral, I'm told. You can grow your own Chamomile, which is very relaxing. Garden mints (peppermint, spearmint, chocolate mint, etc.) brew up nicely... again, use a tea ball... and have a carmitive effect. Mint is also good for colds, as the menthol breaks up congestion. Most fruit peels make a nice tea. Some will require Stevia, to taste. (Especially citrus).0

enjoyingtea.com has TONS of great flavors. One of my favorites is strawberry black. I also really like orange spice, but I get that from my local natural foods store.0

Green tea with jasmine is SO good. Try apple and mango as well.... YUM0

You should get one of those variety packs that has a few teas in different flavors! Stash has some really good ones like white tea & raspberry and orange spice mmm... I think I need some tea now! Lol0

You should try Constant Comment. It's black tea flavored with orange rind and spices. It's a nice change!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.Have you concidered looking at non-commercial teas?

Those all sound very good!

I love celestial seasonings apple cinnamon tea, great with a splash of skim milk and 2 splendas, or even without sweetener as it is naturally sweet.0

I'm a huge tea drinker, and pretty much try all kinds. Some I enjoy:
- cream of earl grey (variation of EG that's really yummy)
- peppermint tea/mint melanges
- black currant black tea
- various rooibos (vanilla, colada, blueberry, etc)
- orange oolong
- pomegranate white tea
I pretty much just go into tea stores and order random teas every time to try them out. So many good ones! I buy them loose leaf and make reuse a metal steeper.0 -
Okay, apparently, I have some Bigelow herbal tea in my kitchen :laugh:
If anyone is interested, it's not caffeinated. It's called I Love Lemon Herbal Tea. The ingredients are Rose Hips, Lemon Grass, Natural Lemon Flavor, Lemon Peel, Lemon Verbena, Peppermint Leaves, Vitamin C, Hibiscus Flowers, and Citric Acid.
It's also gluten-free! It's sooo yummy with a teensy bit of fresh ground nutmeg and a teaspoon of sugar. It'd be AMAZING with honey, but I threw mine away earlier because it got chunky. lol0 -
Celestial Seasonings, Tension Tamer. Such a soothing mix, I love it muchly. I also adore their peppermint herbal tea. It helps that the Celestial Seasonings plant is a twenty minute drive from my house, they have a wonderful store where I can buy all of the teas cheaper than the supermarket.0

I love a lot of the teas made by a brand called Honest Tea. There organic, not super sweet, low in calories and delicious! I get them at my grocery store but you can also get them online. My favorite is the Sublime Mate and the Half-and-Half (tea and lemonade). They also make pouches for kids that I like to bring with me to work.0

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
I'm a huge fan of chai, as well.0 -
Chinese Puu-Erh tea. Clean and herbal.
I also like rose tea; you can find it at any Chinese tea shop -- it's literally rose buds steeped in water. So amazing for the complexion and stomach.0 -
Vanilla Rooibos or Dark Chocolate Chai
Yum yum yummmm.0
