Tea Drinkers

[Dusky]

What is your favorite brand and where do you get it?

Bonus points if the brand has a particularly good camomile.

I like a lot of Teavana teas.  While they are on the pricey side, I can get 3 brews out of a serving, so in the long run they're not as bad as you might think.

I like the teas from trader Joe's. I picked up a vanilla cinammon black tea the other day that is yummy. I also drink a lot of their green tea

[Bernadine]

Bigelow Earl Grey and Twinings Breakfast teas are my favorite.

I love tea! My favorite brand is Republic of Tea. I love loose leaf tea, and they seem to have great quality teas for good prices. I favor black tea blends because CAFFEINE, and my favorite flavors are Blackberry Sage and Ginger Peach. Today I just received a holiday tea, Tea of Good Tidings, which is so, so tasty. I also purchase their Moroccan Mint green tea by the pound.

My favorite relaxing tea is Celestial Seasonings' Tension Tamer. I actually always take this with me when I travel because it's bagged and requires no sweetener.

I drink Tazo brand, and I like everything I've had. I was so sad when Sbux stopped carrying the Green Tea with Ginger, which is my fav!

[emjacobs]

I like:
Tazo tea for easy bagged tea (on the go, traveling, etc.)
Wegmans has loose leaf in containers in the organic section that you can mix yourself.

Republic of Tea is pretty good as well.

Twinnings - Irish or English breakfast

My current favorite brands are Traditional Medicinals and Eden. TM has a great ginger chamomile, and I love Eden's sencha green, roasted-brown-rice green, and twig teas. And according to their website, they have a chamomile, but I haven't tried it yet. I buy them at Whole Foods or the natural food aisles at my regular grocery stores.

I like Tazo chai tea.

Wegman's!

Someone posted something about tea being full of pesticides, so I hardly drink it, now.

But, when I do, I like Teavana's Youthberry tea or Tazo Zen.

Teavana was one of the worst offenders in that article. Their teas are not organic, so they contain a lot of pesticides. Organic teas are a better bet for avoiding that stuff. I typically drink Numi and think their jasmine tea is delicious!

I like Celestial's Super Green Tea Antioxidant Max (or something like that.) It's a tasty citrusy floraly green tea and I always feel all healthy after I drink it.

Yogi tea - purely peppermint

[mrssandro]

I like Mint teas...bigelow sleepy time is my favorite. I don't buy expensive teas. I love the candy cane tea that comes out at Christmas.

[VillainV]

Depends on time of day :-). Twinings English Breakfast tea in the morning, Earl Grey in the afternoon. Sometimes Tazo Chai.

I was also pretty surprised to read about the materials used in the tea bags (if it's the same article as one I read the other day, foodbabe.com/2013/08/21/do-you-know-whats-really-in-your-tea).

Oops, I'm slow....  

[Muddled]

I usually get chamomile in bulk and use an infuser or a teapot.

I'm off to read that article (even though I am scared) before I recommend my favorite black teas.

[annie357s]

I like darjeelings from uptontea.com

[Booze Raccoon]

Long Island Iced

[marylennox]

I like Yogi tea. I usually get our tea from the local natural foods store. They also have some good organic kinds.

This pisses me off, because it was one of my few pleasures and that sh*t is expensive!

I have Traditional Medicinals, I will have to try Numi!

Trust me, I understand. I had two tins filled with teavana tea. I was so sad. I shouldn't have read the article.
