Does anyone else enjoy tea?

What's your favorite?

Do you use a mug or a traditional teacup and saucer with a teapot?

My fav is Bigelow's Orange & Spice, which has no caffeine. I like to slice up a mandarin orange and float the slices in the cup or pot.

I also like some of the teas from Mountain Rose Herbs.

I drink only herbal tea. Caffiene is not a friend to me.

I usually drink Hibiscus Tea that is found at a local European grocery store.
I also drink a tea that is lemon, ginger manuka honey in the bag and also peppermint and chamomille.

My husband loves tea and enjoys Earl Grey, English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast teas.

The Connemara Makers of the Irish Breakfast tea is one of his favorites.

I have been a tea lover for 40 years. My brands and shops are Fortnum and Mason and I order from England about once a year. I get the shipment in about 3 days. Their teas are my favorites by far.

I also like Elmwood Inn Tea (from Kentucky with a very knowledgable owner, and very helpful staff); Smith Tea; Mariage Freres; Taylors of Harrogate.

I also like Yorkshire Tea, Bewleys, Barrys. Sams discount stores have good selections of Bigelow teas and Organic Steep teas. I have daily favorites but will splurge for some really good teas occasionally.

I am a big tea drinker. I love iced tea and drink it all day.

I love hot tea too, but mostly drink it to warm up on cold days. I also have a tall mug ( 18 oz) when I am looking for something sweet...no calories.

I never met a tea I didn't like. I like black tea, green tea and herbal teas.

Bigalow Constant Comment is way up there on my list as a good one. I also like a cranberry tea I buy at a local shop....sweet and tart.

I accidentally discovered Harney & Sons teas a couple of years ago. They make several good ones, but the Hot Cinnamon is probably my favorite. I drink hot tea more in the fall and winter than I do spring and summer.

I love hibiscus tea! Alas, I can no longer find it anywhere locally. The closest I can find is Traditional Medicinals' Hibiscus, which is a blend of things. Nowhere near as strong and fruity as the straight hibiscus which I used to buy at an organic grocery store (before Whole Foods put it out of business, alas).

A few years ago I bought a wonderful blackberry tea--I think it was from Poland, at a local eastern European grocery store. Wish I could remember the name. It was very good.

I love my morning tea that I steep in a large travel mug and sip on all morning long. I stick with the basic black teas though, Darjeeling, English Breakfast, and English Teatime. Target had a Breakfast Blend I really liked, but they discontinued it. Sometimes I'll do Czar Nicholas, but it's a bit strong a flavor for me. The Russian bride of DH's best friend gave me some.

I drink more hot tea in the fall and winter, but make unsweetened tea daily, my SO does not drink coffee. I do love a great sun iced tea.

@JeanLouiseFinch That hot cinnamon tea from harney and sons is so good. I was drinking peppermint tea, but was having some reflux and they said peppermint and menthol are the worst thing for cough or reflux. I think it's the only flavor I've tried from them.

I like fruity teas, but not a fan of Earl gray at all.
