Ask Lemmy

Bigelow or Stash double bergamot Early Grey, or Hime Genmaicha. I've tried brands that cost more or less and always come back to these three.

Not sure it counts as tea, but I've also got a taste for Yerba Mate.

Teapigs - one of the best out there!

I feel like such a poser over here with my Bigelow and Celestial Seasonings.

Positively Tea Company

Also Fresh Roasted Coffee is great for coffee

Local to me, but Rare Tea Cellar makes some excellent blends.

Chun Mee loose leaf green tea from a German drug store chain (DM). A fresh, rather herbal taste with a hint of bitterness. I love it.

Or, if that counts, ginger tea made from fresh ginger root slices.

All sorts of brands, I care more about which kind of tea it is than the brand

Twinings.

I've been drinking a ton of Tazo glazed lemon loaf tea. Herbal. Splash of oatmilk and rose syrup. Ugh so good. Bigelo Oolong is good too.

Constant Comment

Shaka tea, either ice tea in cans or brew hot from packets.

Lyon's, the superior Irish tea.

I'm also a fan of Yunnan teas. Especially pu ehr (shou, sheng, compressed, loose, it's all good) and Yunnan Noir.

Stash, usually lemon ginger

I enjoy Playadito it has a nice mild taste.

I'm a basic American and just drink Lipton black tea. I have had PG Tips and liked it but the grocery store near me doesn't carry it anymore 😟.

Taylors Yorkshire Red. These days, mostly straight too. Iced or hot depending on how fast I want to consume it. Occasionally I’ll do it up with milk/cream and a bit of sugar.

I love PG Tips as well for a go-to grocery store black tea, as well as all of Celestial Seasonings hibiscus blends. I used to get tea from Adagio and even made a couple of custom blends but I moved to an area with a decent tea shop and local events that host smaller tea sellers so I try to get loose leaf from them when I get the opportunity.

Clipper

I mostly drink spicy chai, supermarket own brand, or twinnings if they're on offer.

Scottish Blend.

I mostly buy loose leaf from Upton tea. My favorites are their Assam GFOP and Finest Russian Caravan. They have a ton of varieties from around the world, so I get my usual and try out a couple new ones every time I make an order.

Traditional: Bigelow or Twinnings Earl Grey

Fruity:Pineapple Hawaiian Breeze (excellent flavor). https://www.spicemerchants.biz/green-teas/pineapple-hawaiian-breeze

Iced: Lipton Black Iced Tea slightly sweetened

Guilty pleasure: Lipton Instant Tea

Tiesta

Yogi spiced blackberry

It's mostly my wife that buys fruity herbal teas and stuff, but my favourite tea is Twinnings Vanilla Earl Grey. Very rich and fragrant.

I'm basic though. I don't even know the difference between different types of tea, like black, white, green, etc. I usually just go by smell.

Lots! I'm constantly trying new teas because that's apparently exciting to me. I've done Harney & Sons, Yorkshire, Adagio, a couple of Etsy shops (WildWoodsTea, OpenDoorTeaCT), and ton of local shops (not gonna list to avoid doxxing sorry!)

This one, it's amazing.

Regular bkack tea

Builders' if I'm fancy, Tetley if I'm not fancy

We don't have a lot of choice over here. It's either Pickwick or store brand. I mostly buy store brand.

H.E.B.

Stash Tea is reasonably local to me. I drink their English Breakfast and the Cranberry Pomegranate.

Goodhost iced tea. If I ever run out; PeaceTea is a good, if expensive, alternative.

I like the Pantenger chai, the republic of tea green, almost any black for iced tea (tetley>lipton). I often have some ito en jasmine in the fridge for when i just want to grab something on my way out. I'm also a sucker for HTeaO (a US drive thru iced tea shop), especially a little sweet strawberry passion and the rest unsweet mint.
