Ask Lemmy

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

Sari Wangi

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 👌

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.

Positively Tea Company

Also Fresh Roasted Coffee is great for coffee

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've been drinking a ton of Tazo glazed lemon loaf tea. Herbal. Splash of oatmilk and rose syrup. Ugh so good. Bigelo Oolong is good too.

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

Twinings.

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

H.E.B.

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

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!)

Yogi spiced blackberry

Regular bkack tea

This one, it's amazing.

I enjoy Playadito it has a nice mild taste.

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

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.

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

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

Clipper

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 😟.

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

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.

Tiesta

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

Scottish Blend.

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.

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.
