Call me basic but jasmine green tea is up there

I've tried a great many different black and green teas, but my favorite is Constant Comment. I realize that makes me a barbarian low-life, but I genuinely enjoy the flavor.

Celestial Seasoning Bengal Spice

Lady Grey

Earl Grey in a pinch

Coffee is my favorite tea. 😆

Sadly, just can't stand the stuff anymore. Grew up having sweetened iced tea for dinner every night. My wife always keeps different varieties on hand and I've occasionally tried different combinations of hot and sweet and milky. For my money, nothing touches a cup of joe. Give it to me black and bitter, like Dick Cheney's original heart.

Early Grey man myself but there is a Hawaiian Cocktail tea that has dried pineapple and other tropical fruits that is absolutely exquisite. I’m not usually a fruit tea person as I love bitters. Wish I knew who made it but we’ve had it for quite some time and I don’t.

maybe this

Black mint tea

Oolong specifically Dongfang meiren

Black tea with some lemon and sugar.

This is how we drank tea in communist Poland when I was a child and I tried so many teas in Japan with the nice ceremony, Chinese green tea, american peach ice tea, English tea with milk, etc. But nothing comes close.

Assam probably.

Spice tea :3

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

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.

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.

Irish black with a splash of cream in the morning. Peppermint tea after the stars are out

Artichoke is the ultimate choice without a morsel of doubt. Any other answer is wrong because of that.

Sleepy Time extra strength. Valerian root, take me away.

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

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. 😂

Sencha

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.

Pu-erh for me.

Lapsang Souchong (smoked black tea).

Cardamom!

Cheapest store brand orange pekoe black tea

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.

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."

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!

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.

Darjeeling or Ceylon

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.
