I especially recommend their black currant tea.

Also, have you ever tried royal milk tea? It's phenomenal.

I don't really like or drink tea, but every time I watch K-On it makes me want to anyway. I would try the stuff they drink.

I love decaf Earl Grey (with a very tiny amount of coconut milk), Tazo Refresh tea, ginger tea (really helps my stomach and helps pain some), peppermint, and chai tea if I can find it in decaf.
I also drink iced decaf tea --usually with one packet of Stevia. :)

For hot teas Spiced Chai, English Breakfast, and Orange Pekoe are the ones I generally go for. White Tea is quite good as well. I've also developed a taste for chamomile.
For iced teas I'll drink just about anything, but Green, Chai and Thai iced teas are my favorites.

I really like Bengal Spice, too. It's a little sweet on its own, without sugar.

Also how do you guys usually sweeten your tea, I normally don't use any sweetener occasionally honey, but I usually end up ruining my tea lol. My grandma uses stevia in Iced tea like sheenar and that was pretty good :)

I recently discovered licorice tea, which has this wonderful naturally sweet aftertaste. My friend who isn't a tea person liked it, too.

I've sort of gotten used to tea minus sweetener in general, but stevia is quite good. I also tend to like a bit of milk in my tea in the morning. That changes up the flavor quite a bit.

Being South African I'm partial to rooibos (probably genetics or something). Its healthy, good for you, and if brewed properly needs no sugar.

Recently someone sent me a box of mugicha (Japanese barley tea) and a genmaicha (Japanese puffed reach tea). I'm enjoying those a lot, even though they have very different tastes and flavours.

TEA! I love me some tea. My favorite green tea is from Hibiki-an, straight from a Japanese tea farm that's bee around for hundreds of years. Matcha in the morning, sencha/gyokuro during the day (Iced when it's hot, I even posted a few recipes), and Houjicha in the evening.

Cold mugicha is the Japanese summer drink of choice. It's so refreshing, though it is a little bit of an acquired taste. We make it every day in my house.

Earl Grey/English brekkie, period, full stop. I don't go in for these fu-fu flavoured teas.

Chamomile and orange blossom are my favorites, but I greatly enjoy London fogs.

Cinnamon and Lady gray are my two favorites. I also like just plain iced tea with milk in it.

My mom loves Chamomile. She says it tastes like warmth, and gets gallons of tea bags.
I like herbal stuff. Raspberry, Orange, Pomegranate, and peppermint are all good flavors. Some act as herbal remedies for colds, especially peppermint. There's almost nothing that tea can't help. The best thing about herbal teas vs. other teas is that if you brew them too long, the flavor just gets stronger and it doesn't turn bitter like regular teas are prone to do.
