I don't want to take over the coffee thread.
What are your favourite teas?
My ultimate favourite is Earl Grey with cream and sugar. My favourite treat is a Tazo Chai Latte from Starbucks.
I'd love to learn about more organic or rare teas, so educate me, bees!

@.twist.: I have always wanted to try a Chai latte from SB - sounds so fancy but I would have no idea what I was drinking!
I like to drink hot green tea with lemon after lunch

I don't like cold tea but I like hot tea - when I'm sick or when it's really cold. I'm picky. I don't really know what type i like but I like the kind you get at a Chinese restaurant.

I love tea in the winter. Earl Grey is my fave too followed by Red Rose and Peppermint. I love Earl Grey Lattes from Starbucks, have you had one @.twist. I make them at home too.

@autumnlove: I'm with you! I love iced tea but do not like flavored or sweetened tea at all. Just give me good old black or green tea and I'm a happy gal.

@mediagirl: I think you would like green teas and probably other herbal teas, from what I now know of Oolong tea, you might like those too. 
@Mamaof2: I have never tried green tea with lemon, sounds lovely!
@autumnlove: I LOVE iced green tea. haha no no, coffee threads are for coffee, our two worlds can't possible collide.

I enjoy iced black tea (Lipton...yep). I also really like hot peppermint tea when I'm feeling sick, but since I'm nursing I've been staying away from mint. I got a pack of interesting teas in the last gift exchange that I'm very excited to try!

Before I was pregnant I drank Matcha (The powdered kind) every morning (I stopped due to it's high caffeine content). I like Earl Grey too, that's sort of my middle-of-the-day tea haha. I pretty much like any tea.

Tea drinkers unite! (although, I also drink coffee too)
I usually drink black tea (Irish Breakfast blend) but there is an awesome tea house and massage place where they have the most amazing tea selections; my favorite have been a rose petal tea and a white peony tea. Delicate and yum.
Sometimes I'll drink green or oolong tea, but not that often. When I don't feel well, peppermint or ginger.

I drink chai tea in the morning. My favourite is the Tazo brand.
@.twist.: Have you tried any of David's Teas? I bought this Pineapple Oolong tea and it is delicious!!
pineapple / 12802 posts
@yoursilverlining: The rose petal tea sounds really interesting! I am going to have to go searching for some. Can't do ginger, that is a flavour I have not become accustomed to, yet.
@pui: I actually drink a powdered milk tea every morning before work. So delicious. Is Matcha the same? Milk tea?
@avivoca: Iced black tea is really good. Honestly, I can't really complain about Iced Tea in any form.
pineapple / 12802 posts
@Freckles: I have tried the Creamed Earl Grey? Or whatever it's called. My girlfriend is IN LOVE with David's and she's always wanting me to try the weirdest flavour combinations. I'm not really interested in cotton candy tea. LOL

No coffee for me. Obsessed with the Tazo Organic Chai tea bags. I buy them in bulk on Amazon.
Also a big chamomile fan.
@.twist.: I can't get behind the weird flavors either!

@.twist.: It's powdered green tea leaves, so you are literally drinking the whole leaf not just steeping it! I mix it up all properly with a Chasen and everything. It gets all frothy and has a bit of a sweet flavour... I love it!

I love tea! I like English Breakfast for black, flavored green teas usually (like Harney and Son's Green Tea w/ Coconut or Republic of Tea's Ginger Peach Green Tea), and I also really like christmas-y blends that have cinnamon or orange in them.

@.twist.: I am usually an Earl Grey gal as well, and recently I've gotten fancy with a Versailles Lavender Earl Grey. It is reaaaalllly delicious and makes me feel like a lady. I recommend it, if you find that blend anywhere!

Love tea (although, I too, drink coffee). Love Lady Grey!
Chai tea latte is a fav from Starbucks, although I'm so picky about how they make it...most don't make it correctly (I used to work there).

Tea fan here. I love Earl Grey, Coconut Oolong, English and Irish breakfast tea. I love London Fog lattes. My favorite brands are PG Tips, Adagio, Argo, and David's teas.

When I was a toddler, my mom used to put a drop of tea in with my bottle haha. I say that's why I'm addicted to it. I love just a regular tetley orange pekoe with milk and sugar. I also love loose leaf teas as well, all the fruit ones like strawberry white tea. I also really like all the starbucks ones, the passion tea ( hot or cold ) and I love love love the joy tea at Christmas

@SeptMomma12: Some of them are so funny! My friend loves them, and I think that's just great... for her.
@pui: wow, I've never heard of anything like that before. I will have to check it out. My milk tea sounds way less healthy.
@gingerblonde: Well, I've never been known to act a lady, so I should proably look it up and try it!
@Mrs. J: What's the secret? I have found that starbucks is the ONLY place that makes it to my liking. I haven't noticed much variety in the way they've made them though, either.
@cascademom: London fog lattes are fantastic. I also like the sound of oolong, now that you've explained it to me!
@MrsB2012: Interesting! I'm curious as to why she did that?

Earl Grey with milk and sugar is my favorite. I like Lady Grey too as well as a nice English Breakfast. I like Pumpkin Spice in the fall and a good Chai when I'm in the mood. I bought this mix from this little teahouse in England called Sherlock Holmes. I have no idea what it is, but it's awesome.

Teavana's Earl Grey Cream is a loose leaf tea that's not too expensive but wonderful hot. Teavana's Jasmine Oolong is another favorite, but its a little more pricey. I drink both unsweetened.
Everyday hot tea drinking, I like PG Tips with milk and sugar. Their decaf is just as good as the caffeinated stuff I've found (through this pregnancy).
Iced tea, DH and I like a strong Irish Breakfast made from loose leaves. On the go, I like the Starbucks passion tea unsweetened - its sort of just like a tart-y fruit-y punch to me.
Green tea with ginger was a lifesaver during morning sickness - it gave me a little buzz and the ginger helped soothe my tummy. Oddly, the one I liked the most is Simply Balanced from Target in the teabags. I drink green teas unsweetened.
Teavana makes a few fruity teas I like unsweetened, both hot and cold, when I want to change it up. Their Youthberry White Tea is good, as is their Weight To Go Puerh Tea (sounds dumb, but it tastes like strawberries and cream). I like them because they are fruity but are not cloying at all.

I am a totally boring tea drinker, as in Yorkshire Tea or PG Tips with milk and sugar, a big pot to pour it out of and a huge cup to pour it into Where I'm from, no matter how big a catastrophe to strike, one of the first things to happen is someone always sticks the kettle on for a brew.

I love tea... hot tea and iced tea. I probably have 10 types of tea at home.
Mighty Leaf's Chamomile Citrus is good for a hot tea. I should see what it taste like cold.
I like the I love lemon tea for a good iced tea. I think it's made by Bigalow tea.
Panera has some good iced fruit herbal teas available now, like a Berry Acai and an Hibicus one that I tried a few days ago. . They had this Orange or Mango Ceylon tea that I love hot. Not sure if they still have it.

I love tea! I usually drink green tea at work. I also really like genmaicha which is a variant of green tea that has a nice nutty flavor (it has roasted rice in it).
Oh I also really like English Breakfast tea. I bought a tin of Fortnum and Mason EBT as my souvenir from our trip to London last year and I looooooooooove it.

I just started in the last few years and love flavored teas (like chai or orange spice). My fav is vanilla and cinnamon black tea from tj's but they only have it at Christmas. I've actually never tried earl grey but I just picked up a box this week!
I just drink it plain with no cream or sugar but I mostly only have it with desserts so it's nice to have something not sweet
pineapple / 12526 posts
I just looked at their website. It's Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong

HOW DARE YOU HEATHENS CALL YOURSELVES TEA DRINKERS!! Earl Grey with cream and sugar??? Whaaaat? @.twist.: Dirty, dirty girl! @loveisstrange: You too!! Wash your mouths out with a with a quality English tea, with just a touch of milk. 
coconut / 8861 posts
@loveisstrange: That's an interesting tea mix. I wouldn't have put them together, but it sounds awesome.
pineapple / 12802 posts
@Cherrybee: HAH. The more milk the better, thank you very much! I like a nice dip of Earl Grey with my warm milk.
honeydew / 7444 posts
@Cherrybee: LOL, i'm a purist too. I like my tea black, with maybe a touch of milk.

If you want to talk about tea mixing I love Stash peppermint and licorice spice, it sounds so weird but I learned that's what one of the local spas does and I was always obsessed with their tea.
papaya / 10473 posts
Yes, I looooove loose leaf tea, and I would like to figure out how to add herbs from my garden to it. I have a bunch of lemon balm and some varieties of mint growing wild. My favorite tea is the Necessiteas Hawaiian blend - lots of dried pineapple pieces!
I use one of these glasses so that I can drink it anywhere. It has a built in strainer.

I love tea! I drink coffee more, but tea is good when you're feeling sick or need a quick pick-me-up!
Earl Grey or Peach Tea is my go-to, but my go to right now is green tea!

I drink my tea plain with nothing in it either.
I have a friend who drinks asian teas with some sugar 
... she likes tea sweet and can't drink it plain.
