Roll call for tea-drinkers.

Looking for recommendations for teas rich in flavors Just found pumpkin spice Chai tea (Twinings) They're dumping them at Bed Bath and Beyond and I'm probably going to stock up.

Anybody else have favorites? I would like to go beyond Earl Grey and Orange spice and the usual pantry regulars.

I drink one cup of tea every a.m....fat free milk..NO sugar.

Makes no difference the type of tea.

Two tea bags or loose tea ball stuffed to the limit.

It must be like what the coffee fans experience...Got to have it to get going.

Used to be a coffee addict. Needed to quit caffeine. That was ok but the tea flavors kinda sucked,
Loved Earl Grey. But this takes all.

Get it all over the web, but the best is at Mountain Rose.

I strongly prefer them over the decaf Twinings Earl Grey I was drinking in the evenings.

The Orange Ginger and Lemon Ginger are my go to favorites. We get them by the 100 size box at Amazon. I also really like Trader Joes -Green Jasmine and Green Ginger. Celestial Seasons Lemon Lift and Lemon Zinger are also full of flavor. Lemon Lift is a black tea so has caffine.

Lemon Zinger or Peppermint. When I was still doing caffeine it was Red Rose from Canada.

That and Tazo Organic Chai are my favorites. The Tazo Chai has a strong hint of black pepper, which really wakes up the other flavors, and it doesn't have that big cinnamon sledgehammer that most chai teas seem to frontload.

13. Ireland's finest: Barry's Tea

It's rich, full-bodied, and nearly as dark as coffee, but it's very smooth, without a hint of bitterness or astringency.

What's more, it just tastes like tea, very good tea - - the kind of tea you just want to swirl around in your mouth a few times before swallowing.

I buy Barry's tea from Amazon, but you can also order it on the Barry's website and it'll come directly from Cork, Ireland, where they've been mixing their own blend of Indian and African tea leaves for over a century.

A "tea" from a topical plant - with different flavors - hibiscus flower, blood orange, berry etc.

Yum - and gets you going in the AM

Some of my favorites are:
Trader Joe's Harvest Blend
Trader Joe's Ginger Turmeric
Numi Moroccan Mint
and the Tazo Zen tea (larger bags they sell at starbucks not the ones in the grocery store)
and the Joy holiday blend tea at Starbucks

I have been drinking it for about 50 years and think it's perfect. Plus you get a little figurine in every box!

I only like green tea for iced tea and don't like flavored teas.
