My two favorite teas are Chai {Black Tea} and Rooibos {a South African Red Tea}
I get my Chai from Starbucks - my signature drink is a Grande Non-fat Chai with 1/2 pump of Cinnamon Dolce - such a treat for me as I only order it on Fridays.
And my favorite Rooibos is whatever my mother in law sends me; however at this very moment I'm drinking Trader Joes Ruby Red Chai which is a blend of my two favorites. Not bad. But I think I'd prefer to keep them separate.
One tea bandwagon I've yet to jump on is Green Tea. I know many argue it is the healthiest of all teas but I just can't do it. As obvious from the above, I tend to migrate towards the warm and spicy teas.
So my question for you all is: Do you do tea? What's your tea type? And can you recommend a green tea?
Drink for thought...

I love tea! I start my morning with a cup each day. I am lame though and usually drink ear grey or breakfast tea. I will have to try the ones you drink.
I am not quite a tea person, except for thyme tea (I checked it in the dictionary, hope I got the right word, lol) - I like to have it with a toast with butter on it :) that's a very popular breakfast over here.
But I just don't drink tea when I want to drink something. I tried to switch coffee with green tea, but it is too bitter for my taste.
Drinking tea is really healthy though! It's great that you like it :)
I drink tea every afternoon after my morning coffee. It is usually peppermint or Turkish Apple tea.
yum... i'm a tea-aholic! :)
you should try tazo "om" tea.... it's green tea (& starbucks doesn't carry it for some reason??), but it has some melon/cucumber vibe to it that gives it a really good flavor. i think that's my fav green tea. Also, you are only supposed to steep green tea for 1-2 minutes or else it gets really bitter and doesn't taste good.
i also love yogi tea's "thai delight"... i could drink that all day long.
I have begun to drink tea more often as well! I try to drink green tea at least twice a week with a dash of honey. But I found green tea extract pills at Walgreens so I supplement with those. I love Chai with soy and Starbucks new Roobios tea latte is amazing. Actually so is the pomegrante blueberry from Coffee Bean. I blame Mrs. R for my sudden interest!
oooh I am going to try the cinnamon dolce syrup in my starbucks chai next time. I get a non-fat chai tea misto (made with the tea bag instead of the chai drink mix).
If you're not a fan of regular green tea, try jasmine green tea (jasmine flower mixed in).
I love tea. When I'm working I usually have at least two cups of green tea. But I also love Rooibus and chai. Numi makes a wonderful jasmine tea called Monkey King. Soooo good!
Good Earth makes a fairly nice Jasmine green tea.... still a little bitter for my taste, but not too bad.
I'm a tea-pot I know!! I can't believe I'm even suggesting this, but Good Earth makes a fairly acceptable Jasmine green Tea. It still leaves a little after taste that I'm not mad about. Happy Tea - Time.
I usually drink Earl Gray Tea Lattes. 1/2 Tea, 1/2 Milk and some Classic syrup. Since it's been hot out I've gone back to coffee. I'm not a huge green tea lover either.
