Been a while since I had hot tea. Some of your choices sound very good.
Especially the one Vash likes by Celestial Seasonings.

I'm going to check some out. Keep you posted.

I'm English and as such tea-drinking is in my blood ;)

A nice cup of Twinings hits the spot.

I go through fases. Growing up I drank lots of tea. As I got older and started working the fields more I started drinking coffee. Then around graduation I started drinking tea again then went back to coffee, then a couple years ago I drank tons of tea and in the last few months I have been drinking a couple pots of coffee a day.

I drink about five or six mugs of tea a day.  Over here, of course, its not just old ladies that drink it.  We have tea for breakfast, tea for lunch, tea for tea, tea in the middle of an afternoon of shopping, tea at work, tea when we get home, tea before we go to bed... 8)

That's pretty much what I do.   :)

Maybe we could start a "Tea' campaign over here in the States.
The tag line could be:

I love my coffee but at times when I don't feel like getting to excited from the caffeine I'll fix myself a cup of hot green tea.  I also do it a few times a week right after a meal.  I read something a couple months back about some Asian cultures.  They usually drink something like hot tea right after a meal to help keep the cholesterol, fat, and other things they have eaten more liquefied so that it digests better.  Instead of it hardening up in their arteries.  It mentioned that drinking a lot of cold liquid with dinner just helps the thickening of all the "bad" stuff you've just eaten.

I understand the water in Boston Harbor still tastes like tea.

Most problems over here can be smoothed out by a 'good cup of tea!' :)

a good hot mug of Earl Grey with two lumps for me.
Earl Grey? Why don't you endulge yourself and have a tall glass of Long Island Iced Tea. Very refreshing. I'm one of the few that I know that prefers Asian to Italian food, so when I go out, I order Black Oolong Tea to go along with my meal. Man, it's so soothing.

I love black tea, I am drinking some right now.

 Now its time for a dumb question. Since Americans are big coffee drinkers there are coffee stands everywhere it seems. So since people in the UK are big tea drinkers are there tea shops everywhere? Is there a starbucks version for tea? I know its a dumb question but someones gotta ask.

I drink tea mostly when I'm not feeling well. The wife can fix an excellent cup of tea. The wife usually drinks it 3 or 4 times a week. She keeps a pretty good stock of tea in the pantry.

It's never dumb to ask a question.

Starbucks has a lot of varieties of tea: black, green, herbal, blends, decaffeinated, you name it. It's generally priced by the number of tea bags rather than the size of the cup, since hot water doesn't cost much of anything.

Iced Tea is usually available in black and passion (herbal), sweetened or unsweetened (with basic sugar syrup), with or without lemonade added.

Hope my response helped to answer your question.
