I like Celestial Seasonings' Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea and Candy Cane Lane tea (both holiday teas). Trader Joe's holiday mint tea (can't remember the name) is good, too.

I'll try and come back another time and list more of my favorites.

I love Candy Cane Lane tea! One year I spent forever looking for it, because they only stocked it at the beginning of the holiday season (around Thanksgiving) and had run out.

I'm not a huge tea drinker, but it will be fun to see what others pick as their favorites.

Good Earth Green Tea is so much better than any other green tea I've ever tried.

3boysforme · 12-09-2011, 10:04 PM

Someone gave ne the Candy Cane tea and it was so good. But now I cannot find it anywhere!

My faves:

STASH:

Peppermint
Chai green tea

( this may be my all time favorite)

Celestial Seasonings:

Tension tamer

Sleepytime tea

Lipton:
I don't normally like Lipton but over the summer I discovered their fruit infused white teas and they are very good cold.

Teavana:

Queen of Babylon. So expensive but delish!

I know there are more. I can't think off the top of my head. I have a whole cabinet in my kitchen dedicated to tea.

Mommainrwanda · 12-10-2011, 02:00 AM

Loose black Rwanda Tea

Market Spice

Vancouver Lake at Sunrise (from a small tea shop in my home town)

BarefootBetsy · 12-10-2011, 04:37 PM

Loose (I get them from Mountain Rose Herbs) -

Red Rooibos
Honeybush
Earl Grey

I'll be back to add more, I'm sure

Aisling · 12-10-2011, 04:54 PM

Zhena Gypsy Tea's Luxurious Lemon Rooibos, any berry + hibiscus blend (Especially this company in Seattle, Sip-T, who makes a ridiculously awesome one called Wicked Thicket), a chai called Guru Brew by the same company, Zhena's Toasted Coconut Chai, anything with lavender in it, kombucha with a little honey in it, Chocolate-mint (Twinings?) ...

Kenyan chai blends are nice...I get them from my ILs periodically. I'm not a huge fan of just black tea, though. :tea

I've basically never really met a tea I didn't like!

I think my favorite is a nice, cardamon-heavy chai with a little honey and some half and half.

Now I wanna have a tea party.

Catnip. It gets the kids to sleep, so what's not to love.

Mountain Rose's ~grateful heart ... or something to that effect

Mommainrwanda tells no lies about the loose black tea. I'm ruined forever!

I've gotten some very good British tea, too. Traidcraft or something like that. It's my favorite bagged black tea.
