Herbal teas

I am trying to get back into drinking more herbal teas.

I eventually want to replace my coffee with tea and also use the herbal teas as a sweet treat in place of something heavy and fattening...especially a work day dessert (when a "real" dessert makes me crash and get sleepy and gross feeling).

I am looking for suggestions of herbal tea flavours you like so that I might try them. Flavours I have tried and like:

Rooibos and Lemongrass - very refreshing
Rooibos and vanilla (specialty loose tea I got from shop)
Lemon zinger

OMG mint tea.

so freakin good. and incredibly refreshing.

One of my favourite tea's has to be the Licorice Spice flavour... the sweet aftertaste it leaves is just like a dessert.

I'm also rather fond of the 'Tension Tamer' variety (I can't think of what company makes it though)

I do love Peppermint tea, especially if I don't feel well. It settles my stomach and makes colds feel better too!

I just tried a Madagascar Vanilla rooibos tea. Yummers!

I am not very fond of black licorice, does the tea have a strong flavour of it?

I love peppermint tea too.  The others I really enjoy are  Good Earth Red Tea and Good Earth Chai Vanilla decaf.  They both taste sweet to me and I've always loved a spicy tea.

Add me to the chorus for peppermint tea.  London also has a Blackcurrant Green Tea that's very yummy.

edited to correct the blackcurrant brand

I'll be a rebel and cast my vote against mint teas.  I feel like I'm drinking a breath mint.

Today I bought a celestial seasonings Acai Mango Zinger.  I was worried the mango would be cloyingly sweet, but the bitter/tart of the acai really balanced it.  I took one drink and went "Ahh.  Liquid crack." 

I've made the switch from coffee to green tea.  My favorite is the Celestial Seasonings.  I've tried some of the really pricey ones and found that the Celestial is more to my liking.  I just bought a box last night that had 4 different flavors to try.  I like the ones that have orange or raspberry flavourings the best. 

I've gravitated to Uncle Lee's 100% Organic Green Tea!! It's SUPER yummy.

Celestial Seasonings "Tension Tamer" is awesome!  Also the green tea with mango.

Best thing to do is try different teas.  Not everyone likes the same tea.  Me personnaly I love cammomile, green tea with lemon, peppermint tea and Nettle tea. 

Honeybush!

See if you can find a nice sampler pack (or see if your local stores sell tea in bulk where you can buy just a few oz of each). Sample, decide, enjoy.

[Edited to add - if you're also interested in green tea, try Republic of Tea's Spring Cherry Green Tea. I love it with a single sugar cube - best 10 calories you'll ever spend. :) ]

st. john's wort tea has a really nice sweet flavor to it - and it's a natural mood enhancer :)
