    For everyday use I like a blend of Darjeeling, Assam and Ceylon. (Or plain old Scottish blend.)
    I am also a fan of plain Darjeeling, any good green tea and, on a cold day, a nice cup of home made Yogi Yogi Chai.

    (Not that I spend a lot of time at the local teahouse, nooooo.)

    English Breakfast 1st thing when I get to work. Coffee till about 11:00. Then an Earl Gray at about 4:00 or 4:15. I'm usually woke up by then.

    Black tea, I used to get broken orange pekoe, but now I am using Twinings Lady Grey. I must get some more of the pekoe from my favourite vendor back in Portsmouth, Hampshire, where we used to live. It is an hour's drive though.

    I also have Twinings green tea and sometimes get Gunpowder tea from the local Chinese grocery.

    In the winter I often get fruit teas, but they are normally sold as individual tea bags and the quality varies - possibly with age.

    I tend to make black and green tea quite weak, and with filtered water - the tap water here is very hard and some teas just will not release their flavours into it if not filtered. Leaving them to steep just results in a bitter taste.

    Good basic black tea is my favorite - but I'm no snob. In the UK PG tips brewed strong or Tetley British Blend here in the states suits me fine. Add a dash of milk and I'm ready for a nice cup of tea and a sit down.

    I like Earl Grey, but pretty much any black tea will do. I probably would be a tea snob, I just never put the effort into looking for really good brands, or the material for brewing a superb cup.

    Irish breakfast tea is good too, and Rooibus tea is a nice change once in a while.

    never got in the habit of drinking tea . . . I do like a good strong black or green, but I don't know any particular blends/varieties.

    On the other hand, I have always liked a long-island iced tea on hot days . . . ;-)}

    I have been a tea drinker all my life. I don't like the taste of coffee. I like my earl grey. I keep a few bags in my service truck for emergencies. Lipton is an emergency. I have even taken tea with me to Germany and Austria. I was afraid I wouldn't get good tea. Found some anyway. The temperature in Md. just droped 35 degrees in 2 days. Time to turn on the stove and put a kettle on.

    I like tea.

    But I much prefer coffee to tea.

    I love coffee.

    Coffee is my friend.

    I need to get another cup of coffee before I can finish this post...

    (Panache sips his from his third cup of the day)

    Ahhhhh much better. Where was I? Oh yes tea.

    My tea of choice is green tea. Though Trader Joes has a Lemon Ginger herbal tea that is very soothing when one has a cold.

    Hmmmm...time for more coffee.

    Cheers

    My taste in tea varies with time of day, time of year, and my mood. I'm fond of herbal teas, flavored blends, and red tea. But I've been known to drink black tea, with or without milk and sugar too.

    I'm really more of a coffee man. Kona, Kauai, Sumatran, and shade grown organic Mexican are my favorites it terms of coffee.
