Ask Lemmy

I feel like such a poser over here with my Bigelow and Celestial Seasonings.

Local to me, but Rare Tea Cellar makes some excellent blends.

Twinnings everyday or english breakfast

Bigelow or Stash double bergamot Early Grey, or Hime Genmaicha. I've tried brands that cost more or less and always come back to these three.

Not sure it counts as tea, but I've also got a taste for Yerba Mate.

Dilmah

Tick Tock Rooibos tea only for me. So much better than normal tea.

Also chicory instead of coffee.

Caffeine free life is the best 👌

Broken Orange Pecoe from the hills of Kerala. I bought a 5kg bag twelve years ago at the factory (can't remember the exact place...) and I have some left.

A couple years later I developed a taste for jasmine tea, but it's been a while since I had any.

Teapigs - one of the best out there!

Lyon's, the superior Irish tea.

I'm also a fan of Yunnan teas. Especially pu ehr (shou, sheng, compressed, loose, it's all good) and Yunnan Noir.

I drink Caykur Organic Turkish tea every day. It’s addictive.

I usually look for well reviewed, reasonably priced loose Darjeeling of whatever brand I can find when I want black tea. But mostly I mix teas and flower petals of various types depending on my mood. Lavender, chamomile, calendula, rose, etc.

Stash, usually lemon ginger

All sorts of brands, I care more about which kind of tea it is than the brand

PG Tips for my black tea. Stash for my green tea.

Builders' if I'm fancy, Tetley if I'm not fancy

Regular bkack tea

Stash Tea is reasonably local to me. I drink their English Breakfast and the Cranberry Pomegranate.

I'm a basic American and just drink Lipton black tea. I have had PG Tips and liked it but the grocery store near me doesn't carry it anymore 😟.

Yogi spiced blackberry

This one, it's amazing.

I mostly buy loose leaf from Upton tea. My favorites are their Assam GFOP and Finest Russian Caravan. They have a ton of varieties from around the world, so I get my usual and try out a couple new ones every time I make an order.

We don't have a lot of choice over here. It's either Pickwick or store brand. I mostly buy store brand.

I enjoy Playadito it has a nice mild taste.

Lots! I'm constantly trying new teas because that's apparently exciting to me. I've done Harney & Sons, Yorkshire, Adagio, a couple of Etsy shops (WildWoodsTea, OpenDoorTeaCT), and ton of local shops (not gonna list to avoid doxxing sorry!)

H.E.B.

I mostly drink spicy chai, supermarket own brand, or twinnings if they're on offer.

Tiesta

I like the Pantenger chai, the republic of tea green, almost any black for iced tea (tetley>lipton). I often have some ito en jasmine in the fridge for when i just want to grab something on my way out. I'm also a sucker for HTeaO (a US drive thru iced tea shop), especially a little sweet strawberry passion and the rest unsweet mint.

Taylors Yorkshire Red. These days, mostly straight too. Iced or hot depending on how fast I want to consume it. Occasionally I’ll do it up with milk/cream and a bit of sugar.

Traditional: Bigelow or Twinnings Earl Grey

Fruity:Pineapple Hawaiian Breeze (excellent flavor). https://www.spicemerchants.biz/green-teas/pineapple-hawaiian-breeze

Iced: Lipton Black Iced Tea slightly sweetened

Guilty pleasure: Lipton Instant Tea

Goodhost iced tea. If I ever run out; PeaceTea is a good, if expensive, alternative.

Clipper

I love PG Tips as well for a go-to grocery store black tea, as well as all of Celestial Seasonings hibiscus blends. I used to get tea from Adagio and even made a couple of custom blends but I moved to an area with a decent tea shop and local events that host smaller tea sellers so I try to get loose leaf from them when I get the opportunity.

Scottish Blend.
