I’m an earl grey with honey man, but if I’m being honest, I’ve never really tried much else.

Sencha Fukujyu. Loose leaf green tea with no added stuff. 70 degrees. Reuse leafs throughout the day. Brewed in a kettle that allows proper expansion of leafs.

Milky oolong. It has just the right amount of sweetness and just evokes feelings of coziness for me. Sometimes I add a little bit of jasmine as well.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Sweet Tea. The Southern US kind, black tea brewed with more and more sugar until, ideally, it’s actually a supersaturated solution. Then served cold over ice. Literal diabetes juice.

I don’t have it often, but it’s the best tea in the world because, on the whole, tea is garbage water.

Fight me. 😂

Oh shit! That's a thing? Is it just cardamom steeped in hot water or is it more of a spice/tea blend like black tea and cardamom?

[–] Pirky@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not OP, but there's this Cardamom Chai that I enjoy. It could be worth a shot.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

This is absolutely a thing and here's the brand I usually get: https://ahmadteausa.com/products/cardamom?variant=31938705457227

It's a spice & tea mixture.

Impra Gold orange peoke. Get the loose-leaf kind that comes in a metal container.

But one time, I was dragged into helping a guy I didn't know move a couch up stairs. Afterwards his wife (they were an Indian couple) made me some chai tea that was the best thing I ever drank in my life. I would happily carry another couch for one more cup. I was a fool and didn't ask what that tea was, and since then I have tried different chai teas (including when I went to India) and I never even found one I liked at all.

Celestial Seasoning Bengal Spice

[–] banana@communick.news 2 points 2 weeks ago

I also really enjoy this one. However, it contains no tea leaves so not a 'true' tea. 'Tisane' or 'herbal infusion' are the more precise terms.

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Lapsang Souchong (smoked black tea).

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yorkshire Tea Gold, a little agave and a splash of milk.

[–] phant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

We love a tea called Bengal Spice (B Spice) by Celestial Seasonings. Caffeine free. Kinda in the realm of chai. Dash of milk. Usually before bed.

My daily driver is Lipton Orange Pekoe. It's fantastic and priced right for what it is. My rainy day sipping tea is a Taiwanese Fujian black tea.

PG Tips :-D

I know everyone goes on about Yorkshire Tea and sure I like it too, but I've been drinking PG Tips several times a day for my entire life, and I love it.

Proper tea that keeps England going!

I love green tea. I'm not sure if there's specific kinds I prefer as I haven't tried a lot of different teas, but I have a Sencha Lime Green Tea that is amazing.

[–] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Please try August Uncommon Teas. August.la is the link. I raved about them to a friend who honestly became annoyed with me going on about them. Then, tried them. She called me and was like, "Oh, shit. Nico was right."

[–] kometes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

First flush, estate, Darjeeling. Done with the proper temp water in traditional tea pot.

If you have to add flavor to the the tea leaves, looking at you Earl Grey, then it is most likely a crap quality tea.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Day to day is Yorkshire tea with a little sugar. Every now and then I like to mix some Darjeeling with licorice tea.

[–] schmalls@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Cheapest store brand orange pekoe black tea

[–] Doombot1@lemmy.one 2 points 1 week ago

Y’all are actually into specific teas! I just like anything fruity, lol. Usually decaf, because my body despises caffeine.

[–] daddy32@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Masala chai, came to like it after few visits in India.

Spice tea :3

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Assam probably.

[–] Toes@ani.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Black mint tea

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Lady Grey

Earl Grey in a pinch

To quote Al Swearengen: "I like that fucking darjeeling black. Oops."
