What are your favorite teas?

[Jot the Dot Dot]

My favorite is Lychee flavoured. Also like Market Spice when it is diluted with regular Orange Pekoe or Black tea. I also remember an instant tea called "Seattle Blend" that I can't seem to locate anymore. If anyone knows where to find some, I would greatly appreciate it.

I drink a lot of Twinings Earl Grey, but when I'm in the mood for a fruity tea, nothing beats Heath & Heather. Their Wild Black Currant and Raspberry Leaf varieties are bright and bursting with flavor.

My sister is a big tea person. The last time I bought her some Kusami tea, she said they were good.

I am not a big tea drinker due to caffeine issues. One thing I do is add fruit favoring such as jam to green tea. I will add fresh passion fruit or those Korean orange jam. I think they are pretty good.

My favs are Twinings Mint Green tea& the berries& black tea,the cold brew one and Orange & honeybush. I like CS sugar plum fairy spice and apple cinnamon. When it comes to herbal stuff,I prefer Twinings it has a smoother taste I think.

Given that I live in Celestial Seasoning's back yard, it is pretty much illegal not to like their teas -- my favorites are the blueberry tea and the black cherry.

On the "regular" tea front -- Teavana has a lovely loose Assam Gold Rain that is a wonderful tea. (I've had a similar one called "Gold Tipped Assam" from the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf store.) I have not had their Darjeeling, but it smelled good when a friend had it. I have a ridiculous attachment to my Twining's Darjeeling, and so don't tend to buy other brands.
