Alright I want to know what everyone's favorite tea, brands are. What you like about that tea, when you drink it (is it something that wakes you up or makes you sleepy?)

As for me? I've only had Brisk, Lipton, Sleepy Time, Bigelow, Arizona tea... but I really want to get back into loose leaf teas and explore Teavana. Saw their teas and some look yummy!
 
Lady Grey tea

I've tried a wide range of teas and my favourite for the last few years has been Twinings Lady Grey tea. IMO Twinings are the best brand for most varieties of tea, but especially for their Earl Grey & Lady Grey teas. No other brand comes close.

Twinings Earl Grey and Irish Breakfast teas are my favorites. And I even have the Earl Grey in K Cups!
 
I forgot about Twinings! Thats really top tea right there! I'm an Earl Grey lover myself :D
 
me too I would be can't sleep because anxiety hard to struggle because high of caffience!
 
I've never been fond of tea so I rarely drink it. I do drink a little green tea from time to time.
 
I drink cold tea often. :) Mostly green tea or lemon tea variety. I like the Arizona and the ones in glass bottles.
 
I have consumed a lot of green and black teas as well as herbal teas over the last 30 years. Lately, I have been drinking herbal only and I have it iced and hot. I love cinnamon apple spice and bengal spice from Bigelow. I also really like orange and spice teas as long as they are herbal. I did enjoy some Tazo's Chai spice tea a while back.

Red Rose is the most popular brand for making sweet tea in Alabama :)

For me, asides from Twinning teas, I really like Celestial's Lemon Zinger and I also like hibiscus tea, it's probably my most favourite herbal tea - I buy it from a Polish store, can't remember the brand name but I think it's also available in other brands.

My dad got me loose leaf tea from Sri Lanka and it was the best tea I've ever had.
 
My favorite is green tea (hot or cold) with a little sugar (in the raw is best). I love the smell of the apple cinnamon lipton tea, but I am not fond of the taste. The best tea though, I had in the middle east. I do not know the English word for it, but they call it Tumoro tea. Very delicious.
 
I just bought Prince of Wales by Twinings at the grocery this morning. This is a nice pure black tea with kind of a light taste.

Teavana teas mostly are FAB-u-lous, and at that price, they'd better be! My new kick is something called "Youthberry" which is a mix of a rose-hip blend with something else with orange peel, lemon zest and cranberry, I think it is. The base is white tea. Very light and fresh. It's a spring and summer sort of tea, not what you'd want in the depths of winter, when you want something smoky and deep, or spicy and Christmas-like.

Of the grocery-store teas, I mostly like Bigelow and Twinings. I change flavors a lot depending on seasons. Those two brands seem to cover most everything.

I like Celestial Seasonings sometimes too, especially "Sleepytime" in the winter.

Oh! you just reminded me of another tea that I really loved drinking in Tunisia which we usually called jasmine tea. It's actually a very concentrated and heavily sweetened mint tea with jasmine seeds floating on top. It looks like this:

That looks yummy.
 
I like Lipton Green Tea with citrus natural flavor w/o calories sugar free. It's good for the summer. So, I can make iced tea just to add one packet to one cold bottle of water (16.9 fl oz) then shake it well. It's easy to carry in my purse or backpack when you go out somewhere.
