What is your favorite (favourite) tea?

I know that there are many tea drinkers on this forum and I was wondering what your favorite (or favourite - for my UK and Canadian friends) tea?


I enjoy Twinnings Earl Grey Tea , but my personal favo(u)rite is Twinnings - Lady Grey - I just love the smooth yummy flavo(u)r.



A question for my UK friends - is PG Tips really the most popular tea in the UK? The reason I ask is because that is their sales pitch here in the US of A.

Kenyan Breakfast

What tea company produces Kenyan Breakfast?

Virtually all of them here, it's considered the defacto English drinking Tea, where as Grey's are occasion tea.

I have tried several brands of English Breakfast (Mom's personal favorite) ......is that similiar in flavor to Kenyan Breakfast?

yea, as far as I'm aware.

Twinings now have an every day tea, I'll go out on a limb and assume that it is breakfast too.

First I'll mention I've given up on soda of all types, and coffee is now a treat only when I dine out. So tea has become my main beverage.

A national supermarket chain has their own brand of Orange Pekoe, Presidents Choice Breakfast Tea. (The PC brand is huge in Canada)

It's a blend of Keyan and Ceylon teas. I've tried many brands and keep coming back to it. For me, it's the only way to start or end the day.

If you end the day with tea, that probably explains your sleep problem. Tea is caffinated as well as having high tannin levels.

I don't drink any fizzy drinks either. Cannot stick cola for a start... don't get me started

Not to hijack anything, but I'll try a caffine free experiment after dinner tomorrow night. No tea

There's always green tea?

Jasmin tea is nice. Not keen on Mint tea or Canomile. However I've survived the odd dose of herbal tea, and lived to tell the tale. I wouldn't step forward to drink it, but hey, it's an option.

i dont have aproblem with drinking tea even if before going to sleep..

i never drink coffee but when i tried for a week in every morning it did not have any effect on me

It didn't open your eyes and give you an early morning lift? Are you an instant awake person without the benefits of caffine?

Well that's you, it still doesn't detract from or invalidate the fact that tea is caffeine source and has high tannin levels

I'm not a morning person. Ever noticed the void in my post times at this time of day?

Without tea and a shower.. ug, I'm unbearable - so I'm told.

Unless I'm on an all-nighter I can't even see the screen properly until I have my first morning tea. Same thing for me, no morning posts in general.

Given that tea is mostly water, I like to put milk in my tea, to add a little extra nutria.
I don't drink much tea, because hardly anybody in northwesten USA does. I bet if I wanted to, I could start, but, I would probably need some motivation, as in, what are the benefits? Also, what kind is best(And cheapest?) for my location? Imported stuff is usually more expensive.
