I love most herbal teas and fruit flavored teas. Celestial Seasonings Apple Cinnamon is delicious!

Bigelow still makes Cranberry Apple, but you have to buy it through their website. (Also a favorite - disappointed when the supermarkets stopped stocking it, but found it online.) link

Pretty much black teas with flavorings that are harmonious with the ... more

I like chamomile and various other urbal teas. The smell from some teas actually makes me feel sick, especially Earl Grey, not sure what it is.

So, it looks like I'm the only Yerba Matte tea fan here. Love it.

Earl Grey, oolong, green tea (especially mint-flavored green tea), regular old Luzianne, and a variety of fruit-flavored teas (including passion fruit, black mango, ginger peach, and apricot). I am easily persuaded to try new teas and am always finding a new one that I love, so I know I'm leaving plenty out!

I am where I can't find what I am used to so I take what I can get.

In the summer, my s.o. and I love to combine Celestial Seasonings Caffeine Free Herbal Tea (2 bags) with The Republic of Tea's Ginger Peach Green (3 bags). It makes a really refreshing iced tea.

My favorite plain green tea is Republic's "The People's Green Tea". If I'm in the mood for a flavored green tea, I'll usually go with Jasmine Green.

In the black tea department, I like a good malty Assam (that can hold it's milk) like The Tao of Tea's "Malty Assam". But their tea is really pricey, so for everyday use, I'd go with something like Brooke Bond's Red Label tea (which is actually an Orange Pekoe like you mentioned above in your poll). It can be found inexpensively in Indian food stores. I think we got 100 bags for $5 or $6.

We both also like ginger tea. I'm fine with Yogi's tea bags; he's a little more finicky. He wants his made with fresh ginger root that has been cut up and boiled like they do in some of the Thai restaurants.

Have you tried any that you like (or don't like) yet?

I adore green tea. But right now I'm on this Passion Fruit Tazo tea binge. If you haven't tried it, it is lovely. Fruity with a cinnamon after flavour! Very refreshing.

One of my coworkers liked the Tazo Passion tea too. I never was a fan of hibiscus based teas like that, but I actually liked Tazo's, especially when it was made into iced tea.

earl grey is my favorite but I like strong black teas in general. White tea is nice too and I am very fond of jasmine tea as well.

Just black tea. I'll drink green tea since it's supposed to have so many antioxidants, but I don't care for it. I like black tea. strong with a little sugar. I'm picky with tea.
