Okay, so Moo got me going on my favorite tea shop EVER, Teavana, and I wanted to see what everyone else uses. Teavana's wicked aspensive, but the quality of the tea is second to none. It's always fresh, their blends are always wonderfully chosen, and the flavors are just to die for.
Every morning without fail for the past three months I have had a personal blend of tea: 1 teaspoon of English Breakfast tea, 1/2 a teaspoon of Teavana's Rooibos Chai, and enough honey to cover the bottom of my mug. It's bitter, it's spicy, and wonderous to have first thing in the morning. I use my little coffeepot to brew my tea; I know you're not supposed to, but I have yet to have a bad cup of tea out of the little thing, plus the filter means I never get bits of loose tea in my mug.
Before I found Teavana I was a huge fan of most chais, and very few green teas and always loved the Sleepytime tea. Mostly commerical bagged stuff.
So how about you?

I used to drink, literally, 2 gallons of Green Tea a day for months on end. I can't say I can drink it as much but occasionally as a 'treat' I give some to myself. I'm guilty of buying diet green tea from the store though. I've never expanded my 'tea tasting' from green, though. I'm a sucker for coffee. I'm a city girl, i guess!

PEPPERMINT TEA OHMAIGAWD.
I love Earl Grey, and also some Lemon/Green teas, but I'll always be addicted to Peppermint Tea. <3

English Breakfast Tea Seriously, I have a coffee maker and I'm so spoiled by it. I tried making tea in bags and I spilled hot water everywhere, dropped the bag and little tag into the cup and it was just horrible. I love love love mint tea for when I have a stomach ache. That is the only thing that soothes me. When I'm sick, I drink chamomile tea with honey & lemon. Sore throats = gone <3

Where I am, there is literally no other way of making tea other than teabags. I hadn't heard of loose leaf until I was about 14, and I have no idea what concentrated tea is (kinda like instant coffee?).
Idk how people DON'T make tea with bags, hahaha!

Green tea is probably the best, health wise, so I tend to drink that. My parents flew me a tonne of it back from Mauritius, where they actually saw it being picked, so at the moment I have delicious rich green tea to enjoy straight from source. PG Tips green tea is naaaaasty. It has to be the real stuff, either from abroad or Twining's [hideously-expensive-to-students] boxes of it.
Herbal teas are nice too but unless there's cranberry in them, they taste of zilch. I have a load of garish pink boxes downstairs (twinings again!) with things like Cranberry & Pomegranate and Cranberry & Strawberry teabags within. I tried the orange and ginger variant and it made me feel like poo.
I recommend Twinings for your teas if I'm brutally honest. They're the only brand that seem to make their teas taste nice.

I really dislike the 'normal' and 'commercial' teas. I always drink herbal teas. Sometimes from teabags, and sometimes from loose leaf. Yogi Tea and Celestial Tea have some really nice flavors, for example. I tend to use way too much with loose leaf. Which isn't really a good thing, especially with those dried blossoms I got from a friend. Blossom tea can be nice, but it has a really strong taste.

I've never had loose leaf before. I use bags heh. I like green, white, and herbal. I really hate chai and black tea. xD I love anything with mint. :D I love chamomille too. I have a cupboard dedicated specifically for my tea stash. xD I don't drink it as often as I'd like. Usually because I forget haha. But I have tons of it.
I have a packet of Wild Raspberry herbal tea and I don't want to drink it just because it's my only one. xD I had hot tea at a resturant and they gave me a basket of tea to choose from. I had some of that and loveddddd it. So I stole the only other one they had haha. I haven't been able to find any at the store though. ):

Umm.. I dislike every tea apart from.. normal tea? I have no idea what it is. I'm guessing black tea with milk?
But I love the tea I do drink, lol. I'm probably adicted.

Does bubble tea count? lol Just kidding, I know it's not really tea.
Anyways, like most other people here, I have to agree that one of my favs has got to be Green tea... I also love chai. <3
