I drink mostly loose tea. Lots of Sencha from Japan (it's a vibrant green and incredibly mild), and then sometimes Chinese Oolong.

When I'm sick, I make tea from linden leaves & flowers, so it can cause me to sweat, break fevers, and rid my body of toxins. The leaves and flowers are mildly sweet, so no honey is needed.

For bagged tea, in my pantry I keep standard German favorites, like chamomile, peppermint,and hibiscus.

Otherwise I like to sip on white tea with ginger inside, or a ginko-lemongrass hybrid.

I like white tea and I LOVE rooibos tea with milk and a little bit of sugar I'm not really picky about brands

Bigalow Green Tea with peach...yummy!

Aveda's Comforting Tea. Caffeine-free and made with licorice root and peppermint, neither of which are flavors I like on their own, but dammit that tea is addictive like liquid crack. It's expensive, though, too -- $24 US for a 4 oz container.

That's too much for that.

There has to be an equivilent at a whole foods health store near you for half that price. It's freaking LEAVES, for goodness sakes. Do you know what the exotic leaf is inside? You mentioned peppermint & licorice, but what is the base tea? Green, white, rooibos?

Some teas I prefer by themselves, like a darjeeling. Otherwise, I like black teas with baked sweets.

I had this great white tea once that I positively LOVED to have with just a splash of milk and then I'd dip ginger snaps in it. After a couple of snaps the tea was a perfect milky sweet spicy ginger heaven.

just plain ol green tea, organic preferred

loose leaves always

Alishan Chinese high-mountain oolong

Any incarnation of Earl Grey

And Red Rose cheap-azz black tea is like comfort food to me.
