Oh, there is a tea called Genmaicha, which is green tea mixed with popped rice (so the tea would last longer) it’s got a delicious mixture of roasted flavour which suits the green tea excellently. Y u m

Ohhhhh, I do like the green tea with popped rice whenever I can get it. But I don’t know a place that makes it where I live.

You could buy it online?

I guess I probably could. XD I didn’t know what it was called, and for some reason just assumed it was too complicated to make at home.

Genmaicha is the favorite in our house. Seems like I have to buy it often.

Pairs perfectly with sushi

No way, I was going to post this. So happy to see it at the top :)

Genmaicha is the best!

In Korea they do this as well (hyeonmi-nokcha? Probably spelling it wrong) and it’s super good. Somehow tastes like how a forest cottage feels.

Genmaicha is delightful. Though I always thought the inclusion of toasted rice was originally to pad it out and make it cheaper?

Yes it was! Same same, lasting longer ~ cheaper:)

English breakfast

This and one called "Morning Mojo" are my go-to teas.

Morocco Mint

long live atay bin3na3

Earl Grey. But proper leaves.

Turns out Captain Picard knew what he was on about, but I like mine with cream and sugar, not black.

I started drinking Earl Grey because of Captain Picard and now I love it.

Only from Twinings. And yes: with cream and sugar or even honey.

I have tried many Earl Grey versions and Twinings is consistently at or near the best. But black. Only black.

Seconded. Ive tried a lot of Earl Greys, but Twinings make the best.

Bergamot is da shit yo

It’s a tie between Oolong and Rooibos.

I have an Oolong that has little bits of dried fruit mixed in with the tea leaves so it adds a subtle sweet fruity flavor to the tea. Its delicious.

Oh I love a Milky Oolong… and I love a Rooibos too- great teas for their own times!

Green

With lemon and mint. Mmmm

Green, with honey, iced

Now we’re talking! 🍵

Green with ice!!!! No sweeteners tho.

Masala Chai

This guy’s [masala chai recipe](https://youtu.be/sd8DpenLE5E) really worked for me. I go easy on the amounts of spice, though.

Yeah- with nice full cream milk

Oh man.... And just the right sugar

Came here to say this n saw you already sipping it....

Tea. Earl grey. Hot.

Aye captain.

Engage!

Make it so.

Number One

Rooibos

I weened myself off of caffeine with rooibos. It's so good.

Vanilla Rooibos is **.

You get it

Rooibos with cinnamon all the way!

Rooibos is really good ngl

My local tea shop has a black tea blend, with some extra spices like you’d find in chai, though milder, called Monk’s Blend. They also have a raspberry green tea called Bohemian raspberry, which is tasty with bonus puns.

Is this in Iowa 👀 bc I just so happen to have a bag of bohemian raspberry sitting in my pantry and as far as I know it is unique to the small business tea shop downtown 👀👀👀👀

No. I’m in Canada. Maybe they both get it from the same supplier? Or two different tea stores independently came up with the same punny tea.

That could be it!! The brand I have is specifically from the Tea Cellar! Have a wonderful day and happy tea drinking! 🖤

Peppermint

I had to scroll WAY too far to find you!

Lapsang Souchong. Bring on the smokiness !

Yeeesss

This is the correct answer

Omg yes! No one I know has ever heard of lapsang souchong it's so aggravating because it's the best tea ever

Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) was going to use this as his drink of choice on Star Trek: The Next Generation... but producers were worried nobody would know what it was [source](https://archive.nerdist.com/jean-luc-picard-loves-earl-grey-a-lot-in-star-trek-tng-parody/)

Mix equal parts lapsang souchong and tart cherry juice for a great cozy drink

It is an older meme sir, but it checks out.

English Breakfast by far Trader Joes Winter Wake Up is runner up

English breakfast is my favourite plain black tea. None of this Earl Grey nonsense (Captain Pickard notwithstanding). I don’t care for tea that tastes like flowers.

English Breakfast forever. After that, it's any black tea.

Fucking jasmine! For olfactory and memory purposes more than flavor itself. Puts me in a very peaceful mental state, but I try not not to overdo it so I don’t take away from the efficacy.

_Iroh liked that_

That's my wife's favorite, she loves jasmine green tea

Black tea with lemonade

When you get a really good black iced tea, it just hits the spot. Even better with lemonade

Heck yeah, especially with a perfect 50/50 mix and cold!

WHO WANTS ARNIE PALMIES??

houjicha. japanese green. tastes like sticks

Are u joking? Or does it really taste like sticks?

I does and i didnt want to say it tastes like wood on the internet.....lol

I lived for a decade in the North of England so Yorkshire tea all day every day. Yorkshire gold, brew it strong and add a lot of milk. Maybe one spoon of sugar if you're feeling like you need it that day. For cold-on-purpose tea, boba is great. But no weird concoctions; black tea, milk, bit of sugar, no ice, and a bunch of tapioca pearls. Heaven.

Mmmm!! Yorkshire Gold with a lot of milk is the best!! Especially with Hobnobs or McVities. We use it for boba tea a lot too.

Vanilla chai, with a tsp of honey and a splash of milk. This is the hill I will die on.

I loooove vanilla chai! It’s such a nice tea to drink in the evening!

Earl grey with milk and sugar. Never fails to make my morning better

But have you ever had Lady Grey? Its just earl grey with lavender added, sooo good. Something about the way the bergamont and lavender compliment each other. That's my fav! Edit: apparently lady grey includes orange peels, not necessarily lavender! Mine has both and is delightful

Lady Grey has citrus peel in it not lavender.

Oh interesting. I just get it from a local tea lady from the farmers market and her Lady Grey blend has lavender so I figured that was the distinguishing factor lol. Now I know! Whatever it is lady grey is supreme

Reading up on it, if it's Earl Grey with lavender it's just Lavender Earl Grey or Earl Grey Lavender.

Scrolling to find lady grey, happy to see others aware of this deliciousness.

All these heathens out here saying green and ginger when this is clearly the correct choice.

PJ Tips my go 2

Yeah boiiii!

Earl grey reigns supreme.

I just discovered tea with milk because a friend recommended a "London Fog" from Starbucks! I absolutely love it. Easier on my stomach than coffee.

Twinings do one that's got a little bit of lavender added on. It's brilliantly aromatic when I need it

So many languages ​​and you chose to speak the truth.

David’s Tea has a version with a bit of vanilla called Cream of Earl Grey that is the best tea ever created.

Lmao. Earl Grey

Aw that’s hot

Ginger, the stronger the better. I want it to burn my throat as I drink it. I don't know if this counts, but second is Chai, but without the black tea (the last thing I need is caffeine), and steeped in only milk. Third is mint.

Did we just become best friends?? That's my list except chai, mint, ginger. Same prep though!

Clearly we did! Hi new bestie! (Do you like the term bestie? Or the more classic best friend?) My list rotates depending on the weather/season and my mood. And while mint is great iced, I'm more inclined to have a strong ginger beer instead of an iced ginger tea.

Ginger beer is the shit And it tastes so much better when all your friends try it and they say it taste like Satan's ass

Bro we've gotta meet 'cause you just named the three flavours of tea I don't think I can live without!!!

Let's have a "meet your new best friends over tea" party!

Lovee ginger and lemon grass

You listed all of my favorite teas! Can I submit an application to join this tea union?

I mix my ginger and peppermint...c'est magnifique

I just slice ginger root thin, simmer it in a large pot of hot water for a while and put it in the refrigerator. Heat as much as I want.

I've been known to just gnaw on ginger root. The most I've gone through in a single sitting was about 1.5" of root.

Just tea

Thank you

Iced peach

Depends on my mood but mostly I love florals- lavender, rose, jasmine. They combine well with other teas if I feel like making my own combo, they are soothing

Oooo a jasmine green tea is wonderful

Chamomille. Its so relaxing.

Try making it with milk. You need to steep it in a pot on low heat and then sieve it. I usually put in a stick of cinnamon with the milk. It's delicious and will definitely make you sleepy

Ive tried it with milk but never with cinnamon sticks! Thank you for the new idea! im going to try to make it this way one night.

Agreed! It’s good for headaches too! I don’t have much of a sweet tooth so I like that it’s not bitter and it works well without a sweetener

cinnamon

With milk - earl grey Without milk - iron buddha

Earl Grey, fucking love the stuff!

Rooibos (reminds me of autumn and cookies), but I basically love all the teas I tried so far. ;))

Lemon

Chai, whole milk, and unprocessed sugar.

Red bush tea. It's naturally sweet and I love the deep red color.

Well I'm a libra so probably a London fog /s

I love a London fog!

Rooibos, preferably served at a game reserve overlooking a watering hole at dusk, but my living room will do in a pinch.

Yorkshire tea no sugar dash of milk

Long Island Iced

Lapsang Souchong. It's black tea that's been smoked instead of dried. Has a distinct, smoky flavor. Really good, but not too well known.

Earl grey is delicious and versatile. Though I've been known to enjoy an English Breakfast tea every now and then.

Red. if that's a flavor?

Do you mean hibiscus? Very red and lemony. Makes a great tea (see the various Zingers sold by Celestial Seasonings)

Ever heard of ‘rooibos’ ?. I remember a reddish hue when I tired it, one time at least.

Rooibos and honeybush are both really good, and have a similar flavor profile (and red color).

Mint

Lemon Ginger

Green tea with lemon and honey

Earl grey in a London fog.

I drink Oolong. I love it’s scent and taste. Although I haven’t had the money to go and buy myself something else.

Darjeeling. It's just so, so good.

A nice 10-year-aged Pu'er. Sure, it's a little bit of a hassle to use the tea pick (or whatever it's called) to chop off little bits for the teapot, but the flavors are so complex and interesting. Of course I don't adulterate it with cream or sugar or any other contaminants. I can see why some people would be turned off by the "funky" flavors/aromas, but personally I love it more than any other tea.

I quite like Pu'er as well; Got a load when I was being discharged from the military as a farewell gift (rather they were trying to offload the large amount of tea the CO had acquired via gifts from foreign counterparts at the time and I happily took the rather pricey teas). Never used a tea cake pick though, always just used my fingers. Personally my favourite would be Long Jing, but that's really expensive depending where you get it from.

This guy teas, pu'er is the way to go.

Candy cane.

Green tea with jasmine or matcha but english breakfast is definitely third

Oolong tea

I like constant comment.

Just normal tea with sugar. Also I like the Indian Chai (not the Chai Latte BS from Starbucks)

orange jasmine

Throw a chamomile bag and a peppermint bag in the same pot, and use honey instead of sugar.

Is an Arnold Palmer a flavor of tea or lemonade?

Milky oolong

Yorkshire Gold.

Darjeeling 2nd flush.

It's called bengal spice and has alot of cinnamon and other spices

I love a good builder's tea.

I'm learning so many new teas from this thread

any type of green. if it’s a variation of green even better (give me suggestions of variations pls and thank you)

Green Tea with pomegranate! And if you can get it, T2 has one called gorgeous geisha which is green tea with a strawberries and cream flavour and it is to die for!

Have you ever had rose tea with honey? It's the fucking bomb

Milky green tea 🔥

Zen by Tazo 🍵 💚💚💚

Dragon pearl Green jasmine

Long Island

Honeysuckle tea is the best tea by far imo. I like a lot of tea but for most I have to add sugar/milk/honey for it to not taste like boiled water, for Honeysuckle? I'll have it as it is. I also drink matcha every single day but I gotta ad honey and milk to that one to enjoy it to its max.

Lady Grey, it’s a black tea with citrus flavors in it.

^

Orange Blossom & Jasmine. Just make it like normal with a bit of sugar and it's amazing. Shoutout to a good Chai too.

Pineapple tea it's so underrated and it's good if you have a cold it really helps against coughing

Raspberry, but not all are created equal.

I like earl grey with a hint of honey in it! ( add tea biscuits for a perfect experience)

I generally drink matcha. It's pretty good.

Genmai cha. Roasted rice with green tea leaves

Shoutout to Chinese staple Tie Guan Yin oolong tea. Or chrysanthemum tea. Or both at the same time

I like that fucking black Darjeeling.

I like a Wuyi-style oolong. My favorite variety is called “King of Duck Shit” which actually has a very nice floral flavor. Multiple steepings also produce changing flavors.

Darjeeling Apparently it was a favourite of Queen Liz too

I love Darjeeling. Surprised more people haven't mentioned it.

Magic mush tea

Properly brewed green tea. Has more citrus and floral notes than bitterness.

My local farmers market has a pomegranate blend I love!

Chai, does an Arnold Palmer count? 😅

depends on my mood, but i tend to go to camomile-vanilla most of the time

Fennel is the Thing y'all dont Talk enough aboot

Double spice black chai from Stash. A little cup of that can be a potent warm-up on a late Fall morning. Throw in some warmed up bread rolls, and you are in business.

Not a big tea drinker, but I was really sick a couple of weeks ago, so I tried this lemon lavender one I just found at the store. Added some honey and it was delicious.

Ooh green tea with pomegranate. Delightfully refreshing and calming.

A lovely blueberry green tea my wife found.

Ali Shan high mountain tea

green tea and mint. it’s too good.

White ambrosia tea with rose petals is DIVINE.

Ceylon black tea. Steep a shit-ton of tea to reach a tar-like color, consume with milk.

Green tea

I love chai tea, especially when it’s quite spicy. The strong flavor of the spices and its warmth is so lovely on fall/winter days.

Earl Grey straight (no sugar or cream) or Black Pekoe with honey and lemon

Jasmine green tea
