I drink PG Tips Original.
Barrys Gold from Ireland.
People asking me for a splash of milk in their tea get escorted out of my home.
I try to buy local loose leaf.
If you are looking for a grocery store recommendations, I love Celestial Seasonings herbal teas. They have an amazing peppermint tea.
I love Celestial Seasonings herbal teas. They have an amazing peppermint tea.
I love their Sleepytime tea.
I drink all kinds of different tea. At the moment I often drink Keiko Matcha and lots of really beautiful green tea my friend sent me from Taiwan. I love to coldbrew green tea in summer. Greek mountain tea my parents bring me from crete. I also buy fresh mint to make tea from some of the fresh leaves and to dry the rest.
Besides that my favorite brand is The English Teashop in all forms it comes in and Cupper/Clipper.
Traditional: Bigelow or Twinnings Earl Grey
Fruity:Pineapple Hawaiian Breeze (excellent flavor). https://www.spicemerchants.biz/green-teas/pineapple-hawaiian-breeze
Iced: Lipton Black Iced Tea slightly sweetened
Guilty pleasure: Lipton Instant Tea
Davidson’s gunpowder green and occasionally their Earl grey
I have bags of davidsons English breakfast and earl grey, both are good
Shaka tea, either ice tea in cans or brew hot from packets.
Yorkshire if I’m lazy, Golden Monkey from Wenyang Tea Garden if I’m not.
I mostly drink yanchas/Wuyi rock oolongs. Get them from various sources, no specific brand. Also occasionally reputable sheng pu-erh if I can afford some, non-pu fermented teas, jin jun mei, genmaicha, or anything Nepalese or Malawi whole-ish leaf, in small quantities (max 50g).
Mmmmm oolong
A tea shop in Seattle called miro. I get their English breakfast delivered in bulk across the country it’s so good.
Hmmm, I live only a couple of miles from them. Guess I’ll have to check them out. I’ve been looking for a good tea shop.
Twinnings is my usual. Pukka, mostly for herbies, and various supermarket ownbrands (not each of them’s cheapest ownbrand mind you). Yorkshire is decent, PG tips OK but I never buy the latter myself.
Guizhou Mao Jian (毛尖) of various brands is decent too, if you can find it. More commonly I love an English Breakfast, Earl and Lady Grey, Rooibos, and various herbal concoctions.
Edit: nicest brand of tea I had was TWG, and they were amazing. Too expensive for me to ever buy for myself, though.
I’m all about that pukka lemon ginger or their chamomile blends!
Lyon’s, the superior Irish tea.
I’m also a fan of Yunnan teas. Especially pu ehr (shou, sheng, compressed, loose, it’s all good) and Yunnan Noir.
Barry’s, speaking as a non-Irish person who loves the idea of two competing tea brands and hasn’t even tried Lyon’s.
Agreed on Yunnan on all but shu, and sheng at the temperamental ~5-10 age range.
I don’t dare express the opinion to my wife, who is Irish, but I actually do enjoy both. They both have distinct flavors and are worth trying.
All sorts of brands, I care more about which kind of tea it is than the brand
Imma Basic Bitch. LIPTON.
I got the loose leaf when I want, but that iced tea gets filled with the ready batch, maybe some Jasmine if I have some.
We like the big UK brands like Yorkshire (the British know tea), but of the main US brands, usually grab Bigelo. But any tea drinker has a cabinet full of all kinds of tea.
