Lipton, Red Rose and Irish Breakfast for breakfast of course. I do not drink herbal or any fancy teas except maybe Earl Grey.

I like Scottish Breakfast and my favorite is Yorkshire Gold. I prefer Black Teas.
No bags for me...... dried leaves brewed in a tea basket for about 3-4 minutes. And PLEASE... don't heat your water in the microwave..... boil it the old fashioned way.

If you look under "Tea Packaging and Samples" you will see that they offer a nice sampler program.
I've ordered from here several times and the service is excellent and the teas fresh and packaged nicely.
The Blood Orange tea is absolutely amazing.

English Breakfast in the morning. Lapsang Souchong on autumn/winter evenings. Earl Grey anytime. All of these preferable from Twinings.
Additionally, mostly black teas, Oolongs from time to time, occasional a green tea. I'm only using leaf teas and freshly boiled water, let it steep for 3-4 minutes. -

I've tried to like tea, but the only tea I like is iced tea with lemon and sugar. Coffee for me.

PG Tips with a little milk. The most important thing to remember about brewing black tea is to always bring the water to a full, rolling boil.

I used to enjoy Mark T. Wendell's English or Irish Breakfast but when Katrina took our camp in Mississippi I lost a couple of good tea pots along with a nice kettle and cozy. Somehow, drinking tea, except the ubiquitous iced tea of the South, fell away from that time to this. Once in a while I have a mug of hot green tea, but mostly it's coffee now, either the chicory dark roast of New Orleans served with hot milk, or expresso. Maybe I'll dig out a tea pot from storage and order some tea--thanks for the reminder.

Irsih tea only here. Barry's Gold Blend. I brew it by the pot, once a day, every day.

If you want to get decent tea at a really cheap price, go to an Indian or Pakistani grocery store and try the Brooke Bond or Lipton loose. I won't drink the Lipton that is sold in US supermarkets, but their international blend, Lipton Yellow Label, is much better. It's as good as the more expensive imported brands, i.e., Lyons, Barry's, Twinings, at a fraction of the price.

To preface, I am an addicted coffee drinker but when I do drink tea I enjoy black tea. I steep it covered until very little light comes through and then sweeten it up just a bit with some honey.
