I'm a big tea drinker. I love green teas and the various flavorings that Lipton offers. My favorites are a mangosteen peach, a melon blend and I have a dragon fruit decaf one I drink at night. No milk or sugar in my green teas.

I love tea and we have a variety of teas on hand at any given time. My current cup is Irish Breakfast tea - with just a hint of sugar and a splash of milk (added after steeping/removal of the tea bag). I steep it for 4 minutes (set a timer). i think we also have Chai, English Breakfast, English Afternoon, Earl Grey, Lady Grey (mostly Twinnings since that's easiest to find here) and Typhoo British Blend on hand, we might have PG Tips and/or Yorkshire as well. We have a ton of herbal/fruit teas as well because that's what DH drinks but I'm not a fan. Never, ever use the microwave to boil water for tea - I use an old fashioned whistling tea kettle but I hear an electric kettle works well also. When I'm feeling especially posh I use a teapot and loose tea leaves - always warm the teapot first with hot water before adding the tea and boiling water and add an extra spoonful for the pot

I rarely drink tea, but when I do it's good old Liptons teabags out of pure laziness. I went to visit my ex-MIL a couple of weeks ago and she made me a REAL pot of tea with proper tea leaves. I had forgotten just how good real tea is compared to teabags.

I don't like Earl Grey but it is what we have in the house. When I was pregnant I had the flu and was sick as a dog. I made myself some tea to deal with the pain in my throat and sick feeling. I took a sip and the pain I was feeling in my back started healing vertebra by vertebra. The pain in my head and arms and legs was going away. This tea was magical. I swear by it when I am unwell. It does something to me that I can't explain. I only use decaf because tea will keep me up at night.
Good luck on you tea journey. I hope you find some flavours you like. It can be so nice to have on a cold day or iced on a hot!
