Milky oolong. It has just the right amount of sweetness and just evokes feelings of coziness for me. Sometimes I add a little bit of jasmine as well.

Pu-erh for me.
Irish black with a splash of cream in the morning. Peppermint tea after the stars are out
Sweet Tea. The Southern US kind, black tea brewed with more and more sugar until, ideally, it’s actually a supersaturated solution. Then served cold over ice. Literal diabetes juice.
I don’t have it often, but it’s the best tea in the world because, on the whole, tea is garbage water.
Fight me. 😂
Sleepy Time extra strength. Valerian root, take me away.
Impra Gold orange peoke. Get the loose-leaf kind that comes in a metal container.
But one time, I was dragged into helping a guy I didn't know move a couch up stairs. Afterwards his wife (they were an Indian couple) made me some chai tea that was the best thing I ever drank in my life. I would happily carry another couch for one more cup. I was a fool and didn't ask what that tea was, and since then I have tried different chai teas (including when I went to India) and I never even found one I liked at all.
Lapsang Souchong (smoked black tea).
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.
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.
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.
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."
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!

Day to day is Yorkshire tea with a little sugar. Every now and then I like to mix some Darjeeling with licorice tea.
Masala chai, came to like it after few visits in India.
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.
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.
Assam probably.
Spice tea :3
Black mint tea
Cheapest store brand orange pekoe black tea
To quote Al Swearengen: "I like that fucking darjeeling black. Oops."
Yorkshire Tea Gold, a little agave and a splash of milk.
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.
my favorite switches all the time. currently obsessed w chamomile, thai assam, hojicha (roasted green), and also earl gray! tho we make london fogs w lavendar mostly
T Bone Medium Rare
- Throat coat for when I’m sick
- Kenya Black or Irish Breakfast with full fat oat milk in the mornings
- Vanilla Spiced chai with a cinnamon stick, cardamom pods and star anise during the holidays
- Russian orange tea on a crisp winter’s day
Growing up in the south, at some point in my 20s I realized I just didn’t really enjoy overly sugared black tea. And then I discovered a whole new world. It’s been a wonderful journey.
