I love a good cup of tea, and I really enjoy lots of different blends. My question for other people is: what is YOUR favorite type of tea? I am partial to celestial seasonings cinnamon apple spice tea - it's delicious and sweet and it smells AWESOME. I also love peppermint tea and green tea. Anyone else?

I love orange spice. Chamomile apple tea is great when you want to relaxe or drink before bed to feel more drowsy. Mint tea is delicious and zesty and is good for the digestive system as well. I love the taste and smell of vanilla, but not in teas. It's rarely done well. White tea is soo good, I've only had it once but I love loved it.
Those are a couple of my favourites :)

I liked lipton's roselia tea when I tried it.  Currently I am expanding on my teas, so I'm waiting to see any other suggestions for tea =]

I am a huge tea fan!!!
My absolute favourite is a good quality English Breakfast Tea- leaf of course...

But I also love, Irish Breakfast, Scottish Breakfast, Assam, Ceylon and Darjeiling Apple Cinnoman Spice, Peppermint, Camomile, Camomile and Vanilla,  Linden, Verveine, White Tea and Jasmine, Roibus and Chai...

I loathe anything that tastes of chemicals or unnatural- like the fruit infusions (eg. Berry tea, Mango tea...) and for some reason I really hate Earl and Lady Grey Teas. 

I try to avoid black teas lately since they're not all that good for you, but Trader Joe's Mango Black Tea is really good.  So is their Pomegranate White Tea.  I tend to stick to plain ol' green tea lately, though. :)

Being half Asian, tea is REALLY in my culture. I grew up drinking barley tea and green tea.

Recently I've been trying more herbal teas (like Celestial Seasonings' Zingers, cranberry apple, cinnamon apple, etc). I also have a huge weakness for anything Chai. I've been drinking yerba mate tea nonstop lately. It tastes similar to green tea and apparently it helps boost your metabolism. Anyway, it's delicious.

I pretty much love all teas (except I have never been able to get into Earl Grey tea...), which is great because if I'm drinking a cup of tea, I won't think about eating.

you should try Yogi tea's, go on their website and they will mail you 3 free samples to try!

Harney and Son's "Tropical Green Tea" ...light and delicious with a hint of pineapple. I'm drinking it right now  =]

I agree... Harney and Son's Tropical Green Tea is great.

I think Celestial Seasoning's is the dog poo of teas.... so gross.

I like Lady/Early Grey, English/Irish Breakfast teas the best. I like chai as well.

i LOVE peppermint tea. I also like green tea, trying to drink it more. I also found a tea shop near me, for my inlaws that love tea. the place sells exotic loose leaf tea in amazing favors! its alittle out of the way to go regulary and slightly expensive. but if you love tea, try to find a place that sells it loose leaf, you will be amazed! you also dont need to buy the a special tea pot, they usually sell tea bags and steel steepers, for single cups.

 Actually I have to argue against that here...There are two camps on this topic- those who tell you black tea is good for you... those who tell you it isn't.
However from what I read it seems to me that black tea has it's benefits as well.

Here is an interesting article

I like most black teas.  Currently drinking Morning Thunder (has mate in it).  I like English and Irish Breakfast teas, jasmine, Lipton (lol), and whatever the tea is in American-Chinese restaurants. 

I don't like green teas, no fruity teas, no herbal teas.

I'm also a Yogi tea drinker. My favorites are the Ginger and the Ginger Lemon. Another favorite tea is any sort of mint tea.

Several brands of tea nauseate me if I drink them in the morning, but so far no trouble with Yogi.

I Love Earl Grey tea and am also trying Twinnings calm tea which is a herbal tea with a blend of camomile, roobibos, lavender and cocoa beans.  It's lovely.  You get an aroma of lavender and chocolate, and it has relaxing properties from the camomile and lavender.  It's a comforting drink to have before going to bed.

i love black tea or vanilla black tea, earl grey or vanilla earl grey  with milk and suger

green tea, i really like pomagrante or mango passion fruit green tea or just regular

i also really like yogi cocoa spice herbal tea, celestial seasonings cranapple zinger and any rosehips tea

tazo zen, passion or green ginger or wild sweet oraneg are also favourites.
blueberry tea is so lovely. :) 

I'm mildly addicted to tea. Bwahaha. I drink fennel and nettle tea to ease the bloating I have trouble with (and because it tastes like liquorice. Mmm, liquorice), green tea because it is delicious and good for you - lovely with a little bit of pear in it, too, and I also love Pukka brand teas if I feel a little indulgent. They're fairly expensive, and only two shops near me sell them, but they are so lovely. Like a little treat. x3

It is only available around christmas in the stores (of course I could order it online) but Celestial Seasonings has a Gingerbread Spice tea that is so delicious. Other then that I like Bigelow Rasberry tea or just green tea.

My favorite tea is Guayaki yerba mate tea.  It's a little wild tasting.  It comes from Peru, I think and is made from the mate trea's bark.  Very delicious and good for you too!!

I love chocolate chai!  Also, any chai, roobois, mint, green and licorice spice!

I like Earl Gray and Republic of Tea's Mango Ceylon and Panda Berry. I like Oolong too.
