What's your favorite "daily" tea?

Mine is Fortnum and Mason's Earl Grey (the smokey one, with Lapsang Souchong in it). Can't wake up without it, though I have about 75 others in the cupboard. So, what makes it into your daily cuppa?

So stoked to find a Tea group in here : )!

I'll drink almost any type of tea though, the one I "almost" dislike is Rooibos, no idea why, but it just doesn't taste right.; ▶ Reply to This

The bratty tea snob in me screams "it's not even TEA!", since it's not from the Camellia Sinensis plant , but, honestly, I just don't like the taste much. I mean, I drink tisanes and still call them "tea" ; ).
I like some darjeelings, too...usually second flush more than first, though I may just be inexperienced with those. I had a pal bring back some darjeelings from India last year that I haven't tried yet...not estates whose names I recognize and can recall offhand, but they smell lovely.

Anyhow, very nice to meet you, Brigitte!; ▶ Reply to This

It's... you know. Comforting!; ▶ Reply to This

The have a very large Cat. of many herbal and Asian teas. The taste is IMO one of the most satisfying I've found.; ▶ Reply to This

Now I have a cuppa Red Rose or Tetley English blend in the morning, and a second in the afternoon. Sometimes have Twinings like Lady Grey in the afternoon. Yesterday I bought some apple cinnamon scones so I'm ready for the work week. I pretty much like any black tea, with my faves being English and Irish brekkie teas. I also have Tastefully Simple chai at home.; ▶ Reply to This
