Tea snobs: What's your favourite hot tea?

[KMFJD]

Inspired by the coffee snob thread, what's your go to tea?

There isn't much of a variety here so im stuck with Twinnings Green Tea and a Twinnings Roibos blend.

 

[Murloc]

I drink a bunch of stuff, mostly flavoured black teas or mixtures with black tea but I'm now trying out green and white.

 

[lxskllr]

Not a big tea drinker, but my goto is Twinings Earl Grey.

 

[deustroop]

Orange Pekoe Black Tea (Ceylon). The trick to my favorite brew is to consider the tea bag sufficient for 1 1/2 cups. No milk or sugar. A great after noon and night drink, not as as strong as coffee of course but smoother.
Brew me up Scottie.

I've been drinking a lot of Numi's Aged Earl Grey recently: http://shop.numitea.com/Aged-Earl-Grey/p/NUMIS-10170&c=NumiTeaStore@Teabag@Black

Stash Tea Double Bergamot Earl Grey Black Tea

This is my favorite most days. I also love the Stash Super Irish Breakfast tea, tons of assam, really malty and good flavor.


I have been forced to cut down my coffee intake drastically due to unpleasant gizzard conditions, and tea is a lot more mellow so it doesnt cause problems for me... So glad I found some that I actually like a lot.

Don't drink tea much but my favorite is Earl Grey

Pick one.

I prefer their orchard peach. But pom-paradise is good too, and chocolatea is awesome. Their seasonal "Cherry Christmas" is really freaking awesome too.

 

[BoomerD]

Coffee...it's the best "tea" you can get.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Strong black teas with no extra oils or flavorings, but with a little milk and some raw sugar:

Taylor's of Harrogate - Yorkshire blend
English Breakfast / Irish Breakfast - Twinings or Republic of Tea
Darjeeling - "

The only flavored tea I drink is Lapsang Souchong, when I want my tea to taste like BBQ sauce

 

[brianmanahan]

earl gray... hot

shaken, not stirred

 

[Crono]

Gyokuro, Dragonwell, Assam, Darjeeling, Matcha, Silver Needle, Sencha. Roughly in that order, though it's tough to compare green vs white vs black. On rare occasions I'll have jasmine in a white or green tea.

If we're talking brands, my favorite is Teavana, mostly because it's convenient (location at nearby mall) but it's also pretty good loose tea, though I'm sure there are tea shops with better teas.

[Mayne]

i'm gonna say red rose tea and some milk & sugar. i know thats probably terrible.

 

[Imp]

Green and whatever they have in Chinese restaurants... but I stopped drinking tea. Found out a substantial amount of the stuff is grown in China and laced with everything that comes out of factories that we don't want and China doesn't regulate.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Earl Grey. Yes. I know. And yes, that's why.

 

[sandorski]

Yorkshire Tea by Tailors of Harrowgate, mentioned by DaveSommons

Just a solid tasting Orange Pekoe that's smooth, but strong.

 

[vi edit]

If I want mellow, Twinings Lady Gray.

If I want something really nice on a cold day...this stuff is awesome.
