I love tea and I drink a lot of it , both hot and cold. I just like black tea, not green, not herbal and certainly not decaf. I’m currently drinking Red Rose, if you like black tea what brand is your favorite ?

I love tea and, besides coffee first thing in the morning, my drink of choice is tea!  I have discovered that I much prefer the English brands of black tea.  My favorite is Typhoo.  I can find it locally most of the time, but when I can't, I can also order via Amazon.  P&G Tips is also a really great English black tea.  It's sold in my local Publix.  I find the English brands to have much better flavor.  I find American black teas, like Lipton, to be weak and flavorless.  However, a very good American brand is from the Charleston Tea Plantation.  We went on vacation to Charleston, SC a couple of years ago and the only US tea plantation is located in the suburbs of Charleston.  The tea is exceptional but can only be ordered online or you can buy in the gift shop at the tea plantation.

I like black tea too. I recently ordered some on Amazon that I like.  I ordered British made Tetley tea.  It comes in a package of 240 bags for around $12.00.  No tax, free shipping.  Very good strong tea.  Tastes better than the British Blend Tetley sold in stores here.

 

I agree the British brands are better.  I found Barry's tea in Wegman's and that was good, too.  American teas are weak in comparison.

Walmart brand, Great Value.  I think it has a nice black tea strength.

Harney & Sons "Paris".  BBB and Gloria Jeans sells it.

It's a lovely, full-bodied black tea with a touch of vanilla.

Twining's Irish Breakfast is my all-time favorite black tea, preferably with cream and sweetener (used to be sugar, now it's Splenda).
