Bigelow or Stash double bergamot Early Grey, or Hime Genmaicha. I've tried brands that cost more or less and always come back to these three.
Not sure it counts as tea, but I've also got a taste for Yerba Mate.
I only drink loose leaf. I have stuff from Mei Leaf, Tao of Tea, local Asian markets, hojicha / genmaicha / kyobancha straight from Japan, local loose leaf tea shops.
I definitely don't drink PG or Celestial.
Tick Tock Rooibos tea only for me. So much better than normal tea.
Also chicory instead of coffee.
Caffeine free life is the best 👌
I drink tea from Mariage Frères and Palais des Thés (I gave you the en links). I have a fair number of teas that I go through. They both have a fairly large collection, especially Mariage. I haven't tested them all obviously. And don't intend to.
Positively Tea Company
Also Fresh Roasted Coffee is great for coffee
Teapigs - one of the best out there!
I drink Caykur Organic Turkish tea every day. It’s addictive.
I've been drinking a ton of Tazo glazed lemon loaf tea. Herbal. Splash of oatmilk and rose syrup. Ugh so good. Bigelo Oolong is good too.
Stash, usually lemon ginger
I like their moroccan mint.
All sorts of brands, I care more about which kind of tea it is than the brand
PG Tips for my black tea. Stash for my green tea.
Twinings.
I like variety even in black tea, so twinnings is the most by volume in my kitchen
Yogi spiced blackberry
Lots! I'm constantly trying new teas because that's apparently exciting to me. I've done Harney & Sons, Yorkshire, Adagio, a couple of Etsy shops (WildWoodsTea, OpenDoorTeaCT), and ton of local shops (not gonna list to avoid doxxing sorry!)
I like the Pantenger chai, the republic of tea green, almost any black for iced tea (tetley>lipton). I often have some ito en jasmine in the fridge for when i just want to grab something on my way out. I'm also a sucker for HTeaO (a US drive thru iced tea shop), especially a little sweet strawberry passion and the rest unsweet mint.
I mostly drink spicy chai, supermarket own brand, or twinnings if they're on offer.
We don't have a lot of choice over here. It's either Pickwick or store brand. I mostly buy store brand.
Builders' if I'm fancy, Tetley if I'm not fancy
I mostly buy loose leaf from Upton tea. My favorites are their Assam GFOP and Finest Russian Caravan. They have a ton of varieties from around the world, so I get my usual and try out a couple new ones every time I make an order.
Tiesta
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
H.E.B.
I love PG Tips as well for a go-to grocery store black tea, as well as all of Celestial Seasonings hibiscus blends. I used to get tea from Adagio and even made a couple of custom blends but I moved to an area with a decent tea shop and local events that host smaller tea sellers so I try to get loose leaf from them when I get the opportunity.

Stash Tea is reasonably local to me. I drink their English Breakfast and the Cranberry Pomegranate.
I like their double bergamot earl grey
Scottish Blend.
I enjoy Playadito it has a nice mild taste.
I'm a basic American and just drink Lipton black tea. I have had PG Tips and liked it but the grocery store near me doesn't carry it anymore 😟.

Goodhost iced tea. If I ever run out; PeaceTea is a good, if expensive, alternative.
Taylors Yorkshire Red. These days, mostly straight too. Iced or hot depending on how fast I want to consume it. Occasionally I’ll do it up with milk/cream and a bit of sugar.
Regular bkack tea
It's mostly my wife that buys fruity herbal teas and stuff, but my favourite tea is Twinnings Vanilla Earl Grey. Very rich and fragrant.
I'm basic though. I don't even know the difference between different types of tea, like black, white, green, etc. I usually just go by smell.
Newman's Own black tea, 100 ct. The 100ct is about the same price as a 20ct from name brands. The bags are wrapped in paper, not plastic. And 100% of profits go to charity
Edit: and it tastes better than other brands that sell 100ct like red rose or lipton
