If you're in a place they ship to, check out these guys. Oolong specialist tea shop in Seattle that has some of the best quality tea I've ever had. It's a really small operation, too, with people who really love what they do: https://floatingleaves.com/

Bigelow spiced chai.

I drink tea from Mariage Frères and Palais des Thés (I gave you the en links). I have a fair number of teas that I go through. They both have a fairly large collection, especially Mariage. I haven't tested them all obviously. And don't intend to.

Twinnings is my usual. Pukka, mostly for herbies, and various supermarket ownbrands (not each of them's cheapest ownbrand mind you). Yorkshire is decent, PG tips OK but I never buy the latter myself.

Guizhou Mao Jian (毛尖) of various brands is decent too, if you can find it. More commonly I love an English Breakfast, Earl and Lady Grey, Rooibos, and various herbal concoctions.

Edit: nicest brand of tea I had was TWG, and they were amazing. Too expensive for me to ever buy for myself, though.

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.

I used to order tea from this website:

https://www.republicoftea.com/

I had ordered a wide variety to teas beforehand: green, rooibos, hibiscus, black, and chamomile.

Now I just make store-bought iced tea and I’m much more comfortable with just regular tea.

I usually make tea concentrate in a saucepan and then pour it into a pitcher and fill with water…

…unless I want hot tea, that is, then that.

Typically just black or chamomile tea or Sleepytime tea when I shop for that brand.

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

Also chicory instead of coffee.

Caffeine free life is the best 👌

I only drink loose leaf. I have stuff from Mei Leaf, Tao of Tea, local Asian markets, hojicha / genmaicha / kyobancha straight from Japan, local loose leaf tea shops.

I definitely don't drink PG or Celestial.

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.

Twinnings everyday or english breakfast

Chun Mee loose leaf green tea from a German drug store chain (DM). A fresh, rather herbal taste with a hint of bitterness. I love it.

Or, if that counts, ginger tea made from fresh ginger root slices.

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

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

I drink Bigelow lemon ginger every night. Pose on, friend

It's mostly my wife that buys fruity herbal teas and stuff, but my favourite tea is Twinnings Vanilla Earl Grey. Very rich and fragrant.

I'm basic though. I don't even know the difference between different types of tea, like black, white, green, etc. I usually just go by smell.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Scottish Blend.

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I enjoy Playadito it has a nice mild taste.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I like their double bergamot earl grey

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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 😟.

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

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