I’m an earl grey with honey man, but if I’m being honest, I’ve never really tried much else.
Assam probably.
Black tea with almond milk and honey.
Spice tea :3

Drinking EG with a splash of milk right now.
My favs:

- Peach Green Tazo from Target, raw
Masala chai, came to like it after few visits in India.
The local Polish grocery store has a selection of eastern European herbal teas, herbs which I’d never heard of, and it’s such an interesting experience in tea. One is a type of moss and it makes such pale tea, it’s so unusual. I’m loving trying them all.
I also love lemongrass spearmint tea, and rooibos and honey bush teas from South Africa which a friend sends me.
I love strong black teas. English Bteakfast is my go to, but I love a good PG tips now and again.
Pu’er (fermented black tea sold in big solid disks or chunks) it’s nice and dark, reminds me of coffee. I also enjoy iron goddess(Tieguanyin) oolongs and white peony.
Lapsang souchong
I like Earl Grey, but also drink a lot of Mate (although not sure if people consider this a tea)
High mountain oolong tea from Taiwan. Taste like sweet light leafy vegetable tea
2nd is dong ding oolong. Taste like literal boba balls
I used to pride myself on my tea snobbery, sampling green tea varieties from the farmers market and using a ceramic infuser.
Then one day I stopped having time for all that and found that Constant Comment was actually quite lovely and available everywhere.
Black tea with orange zest and spices. Simple, but everything I really want from a tea. Lady Grey is good too.
I buy from a local tea store that does fantastic blends.
For basics, I like green tea with honey and a squeezed lemon or chamomile with honey. Both are so soothing.
