I drink Barrys Irish tea . This is found in the grocery store and is my favorite tea. There is the light golden tea or the regular black tea  .I like the stringer black tea., It is a smooth tasting tea and doesn't seem to have the bitterness of some teas , It is a little more expensive than regular tea at about 7 or8  dollars a box for 100 tea bags. And it is a cloth like bag , I love this tea,I have been drinking tea since I was 5 It is from Dublin Ireland and most supermarkets sell it , Sometimes it is in the regular tea section or sometimes in the ethnic food section, It is a nice gift for a tea drinker along with a mug or china tea cup set .

Sooner, thanks so much for your review of the Breville tea maker.  I will definitely check out Bed Bath & Beyond to see how much I'd save with their coupon.  I don''t think I've ever seen such a highly rated appliance. :-)

Black teas - Irish teas taste the best to me, especially Bewley’s Gold and Barry’s Gold. Most gold blends are smoother. Yerba Mate is mild without as much caffeine as black tea. Morning Thunder is a mix of black tea and Mate and I like it a lot. For headaches, I always drink Rooibos red tea. 

 

If if you have a World Market near you, they have a whole wall of teas. Whole Foods and that type of store usually has a better group of teas than a Safeway would. The best thing to do is try different brands and type of teas out.
