For me has to be Yorkshire tea, Tetley's, PG Tips, Typhoo (if I can get hold of them here  in Canada) otherwise Loblaws own black tea is very good.  If I go for the loose tea I like Dharjeeling or English breakfast.

Not keen on the flavoured tea or ice tea.  For me it has to be hot with a splash of milk!

Miss those Jammy Dodgers and the custard creams and the bourbon creams ....hmmmm yummy!

Celestial Seasoning's Chocolate Raspberry(seep in 1/2c water, then add 1/2 almond milk, 3/4 tsp cocoa powder, 2 pkts splenda, shot raspberry syrup - yum!)

I also am a fan of anything mint.

Celestial Seasoning's Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride Holiday Tea! Oh boy - when it's sold in the winter months I STOCK UP!!! I still have 3 more boxes!

Mine is Twinings Herbal Unwind.  It comes in a couple of flavors, but I like the mandarin orange the best.  I drink it strong and unsweetened.

I'm hooked on green tea with pomegrante !!!!  No sweetener required! Hot or cold it's so good!   I just don't know what brand it is  :(   black and green box.

Lipton made a vanilla caramel in their new triangle shaped teas... that one's really good and takes place of desert for me!

I do like vanilla chai too though.

Guayaki Yerba Mate loose leaf tea in my iced tea maker, I could and sometimes do drink it all day, it's super refreshing!

I have a few favorites....

1. Favorite Green Tea: 365 Organic bulk tea. Its surprisingly the best.

2. Favorite Black Tea: Mighty Leaf Organic Breakfast. Yum!

3. Favorite White Teas: Argo Tea's Blueberry White AND The Tea Spot's Meditative Mind

4. Favorite Mint Tea: Choice Organic Peppermint tea and my homegrown mint tea =)

Mint made from fresh mint leaves - manufacturer - Mother Nature

I love Leland Tea Company! They're based in San Francisco, and have the most adorable tea shop, where they serve afternoon tea and whatnot. I visit whenever I'm up there, but they also have a fantastic online store with a wide selection of loose leaf teas with cute names.

My personal favorite blends that they make:

Black Teas:

Bingo Bango Mango, Bogart, Pear Caramel

Herbal Blends:

Ginger Rogers

Oolong:

Me Love Oolong Time

White:

Casablanca

Also, in West LA, we have a small chain of coffee/tea shops called Groundwork. They have a great selection of (also loose leaf) teas.

Haven't met an Earl Grey I didn't like.

Ugh - I have. I hate, hate hate Tazo Tea's Earl Grey - it tastes like Tang. Definitely something artificial going on there.

I love tea. I love all kinds of tea. I like it iced, I love it hot, I'll drink it sweet (but prefer it unsweet, always have), I'll drink it with milk. I like traditional black teas best, but I even like most herbal tisanes, with the exception of anything made with chamomile.

My perennial favorite has to be Bigelow's Constant Comment, though. Think I'll go make a cup right now!

Pg Tips, Tetlyes or Typhooo, nice and strong with a good splash of milk! I drink 4-5 cups a day without fail.

I hate fruit flavoured or herbal teas with a passion.

Omgosh, HOW am I brittish and so late to post on this thread?! Life without tea would almost certainly not be as good.

Whilst I do really like the odd cup of green tea with lemon, rooibos, or even fruit infusion, what I really REALLY like is yorkshires finest, brewed nice and strong, with a dash of milk. I have been know to sip my way through 6 cups a day, but now at uni I tend to have tetleys (also yum) and stick to 3-4 cups.

It practically counts toward your fruit and veg doesn't it....? :-D

Hi again!

I once had a bunch of women friends come over for a "Tea leaf and Tarot Party" where we had high tea...scones, rose petal jam, lemon curd, clotted cream, and finger sandwiches...with 3 teas: Lapsang Souchon, Earl Grey, and Shotgun. We had several decks of Taort cards and told each others fortunes, and read our tea leaves from a book of tea leaf formations and their meanings. It was really fun. I made everything homemade, and gave all a couple take away gifts: Lace Drawer Sachets and rose petal jam. They had a great time -I should do it again!
