What's your favorite tea?

Stash is decent enough tea.

Tea for sleep would be like..Chamomile..which technically isn't tea, but a tincture.
Mojito Mint is a good one.
Mangosteen Green Tea is awesome.

All I can tell you is that I drink three or four green teas a day and it seems to give me an energy shot. I prefer loose green tea leaves in a "tea berry" but the bags are fine. Green tea has a ton of antioxidants which combat free radicals which cause cancers. Make sure to make the water hot but do not boil it. Boiling water turns green tea bitter for some reason. I have no experience with Oolong teas. Black teas are also good.

I drink tea all the time: black tea (loose leaf Ceylon or Darjeeling or Awake tea from Tazo), herbal teas (ginger tea from Yogi- they have lots of good combinations, too), rooibos, and Tulsi. i can't drink green tea, as it makes me feel nauseous. enjoy:drinker:

Green tea with honey
Roobos (red bush) tea
White tea with elderflower

I like a peach flavored green tea

I really like Tazo tea, passion/green tea. But if i want top quality tea, i buy TeaVana, which you can buy 2oz of the whole leaf/bloom from anywhere starting at 2.50 - 20+$ per 2oz. But! the higher quality tea's can be steeped 2-3 times, so it's well worth it.

I have 3 different tea's from teavana, Monkey Picked Oolong, Peach Momotaro, and Sakura Allure.

Oh good god. I have a tea obsession. If I had to estimate, I probably have about 150 kinds of tea in my tea closet. Yes, I have a tea closet. Yes, tea does get old, and I know I have too much.

That said, I primarily drink green tea in the morning, keeping a variety in it. I love lightly flavored green teas as part of my variety in food. The flavors also keep me from missing the sugar I used to put into them, but recognized with the amount of tea I was drinking, I was adding about 50 calories on my day without noticing. I avoid caffeine after about 1pm, so I choose decaf teas then (go with a high quality tea if you're choosing decaf, lower quality tend to suffer on the taste). Or I chose a naturally decaffeinated tea like rooibos (red tea) or another herbal tea. If you just want less caffeine, pour your hot water over your tea, then discard that first steeping after about a minute and steep again. Most of the caffeine comes off in the early steep to my understanding.

Republic of Tea has some WONDERFUL flavors, and are good quality. They seem expensive, but have 50 bags in their tins of bagged tea, so it isn't that much more than most other brands.

Zhena's Gypsy tea has some crazy and tasty flavors as well, and are on about the same price point as RoT.

If you have a Teavana at your local mall, they have some really out there teas, often with some amazing flavors, and their matevana is a staple in my house. Their teas are sold by the 2 oz measure, and range from under $5 for that to $25 for the rare stuff. 2 oz lasts me forever. All their teas are loose.

For less exotic teas, I still like Celestial Seasonings and Twinings, I make my iced tea out of Red Rose. The only brands I DON'T like are Bigelow and Lipton.

Tea really is an adventure, and adds a lot of no calorie options into your drink arsenal, just start trying some different kinds, it is a lot of fun! And remember, if you don't care for something hot, the flavor isn't as pronounced over ice. Pay attention to steeping temperatures, as steeping tea at too high a temperature can really bitter it in the case of green tea, and ruin the flavor of white tea. Herbals teas usually need the water up at a full boil to extract all the flavors and health properties (but not always!). Different people also like different amounts of steep time. Black teas can get bitter for me when steeped for too long, so when trying a new tea, I steep for about 2 minutes at the first go, and increase if necessary. Also, many teas can give you two good steepings out of the same leaves! Give it a try.

I'm a tea-who....uh. a tea-person-of-negotionable-affection. I don't like the fruity teas, but I'm all over any black tea. There is a website called teagschwendner which is my favourite place to get it. They describe everything really accurately and their tea is *unreal*. You'll never go wrong there.

I tend to like chai, assam, and really, any good, strong, semi-acidic black tea. Twinings will do in a pinch.

If you have a teavana near you can sample teas there and pick out the one you want

Mmmmm... teavana!

The employees are really helpful if you're new to tea, but like others have said, it is a bit pricier.

Vanilla redbush

My current green tea is verbena and orange which is lovely
