I drink a lot of tea. Probably about 6 cups a day of various sorts on average. Here are my thoughts on what I drink:

[Twinings]

  • Earl Grey: One of the better pre-packaged teas on the market, and my favorite earl grey.
  • English Breakfast: Regular or decaf, this is my tea of choice when I'm feeling lazy. Nice mild black tea blend in a bag.

[Tealuxe]

  • Assam organic: Probably my favorite black tea. Rich, malty, earthy, bitter, with some sharp acidic notes. Wonderful with a bit of milk
  • Royal Coconut: A nice floral green tea with lots of coconut flavor. Good hot, spectacular iced.
  • Vanilla Nut Mate: Very easy to drink, especially with a touch of sweetener. A good alternative to black tea.
  • Masala Chai: Tasty chai. Works best if you actually boil it in the water for ~5 minutes. Deep flavorful tea, great with milk, sugar, and honey.
  • Pumpkin spice chai: Strong vanilla flavor and aroma. Another one that's good with milk, sugar, and honey.

[Upton Tea Imports]

  • Tippy Orthodox FBOP (Assam): A nice malty assam with lots of delicate floral notes as well.
  • Banaspaty Est FTGFOP (Assam): Floral and malty and not particularly bitter.
