Yorkshire Tea Gold, a little agave and a splash of milk.
Sleepy Time extra strength. Valerian root, take me away.
Celestial Seasoning Bengal Spice
I also really enjoy this one. However, it contains no tea leaves so not a 'true' tea. 'Tisane' or 'herbal infusion' are the more precise terms.
Pu-erh for me.
Sencha Fukujyu. Loose leaf green tea with no added stuff. 70 degrees. Reuse leafs throughout the day. Brewed in a kettle that allows proper expansion of leafs.
First flush, estate, Darjeeling. Done with the proper temp water in traditional tea pot.
If you have to add flavor to the the tea leaves, looking at you Earl Grey, then it is most likely a crap quality tea.
Day to day is Yorkshire tea with a little sugar. Every now and then I like to mix some Darjeeling with licorice tea.
I love green tea. I'm not sure if there's specific kinds I prefer as I haven't tried a lot of different teas, but I have a Sencha Lime Green Tea that is amazing.
We love a tea called Bengal Spice (B Spice) by Celestial Seasonings. Caffeine free. Kinda in the realm of chai. Dash of milk. Usually before bed.
Darjeeling or Ceylon
Haven't been able to get decent tea out Sri Lanka since about 2005... Fuck war but also, production has been moving from high altitude to low altitude, which produces a lower class tea IMO but is also cheaper to grow.
My daily driver is Lipton Orange Pekoe. It's fantastic and priced right for what it is. My rainy day sipping tea is a Taiwanese Fujian black tea.
PG Tips :-D
I know everyone goes on about Yorkshire Tea and sure I like it too, but I've been drinking PG Tips several times a day for my entire life, and I love it.
Proper tea that keeps England going!

Please try August Uncommon Teas. August.la is the link. I raved about them to a friend who honestly became annoyed with me going on about them. Then, tried them. She called me and was like, "Oh, shit. Nico was right."
Cheapest store brand orange pekoe black tea
Masala chai, came to like it after few visits in India.
Spice tea :3
Assam probably.
Black mint tea
Lady Grey
Earl Grey in a pinch
To quote Al Swearengen: "I like that fucking darjeeling black. Oops."
Learning about old people drama, its so interesting to find out about a 30 years old beef that never gets squashed
Y’all are actually into specific teas! I just like anything fruity, lol. Usually decaf, because my body despises caffeine.
Artichoke is the ultimate choice without a morsel of doubt. Any other answer is wrong because of that.
