I bravely fight British stereotypes by generally preferring coffee but I do love Lapsang Souchong which is a smoked Chinese black tea that tastes like a campfire but in a good way

Russian Earl Grey (this is the favourite always)

Cinnamon heavy chai

jasmine green tea if i had to pick. prefer the pearls

My favorite tea when I lived in Japanese was traditional (and unsweetened) cold green tea I could buy bottles of at a convenience store. It’s an acquired taste but I grew to love it. If I was about town and I was in the mood - I’d grab the hot version. Probably from a vending machine.

I assume making a cold version at home would be pretty simple but my lazy ass can’t be bothered. Also I’ll hate any bottled version of “green tea” in the US because it’s pumped full of sugar and sweeteners.

Edit

I must have made a similar comment at Hexbear years ago and I lamented my laziness. So maybe I’ll actually learn how to make cold green tea. But don’t quote me.

I got this tangerine puer that I really like. Comes all packed inside the rind and you can add some of the rind for more citrus flavor.

I love Moroccan mint tea. Green tea with a bit of spearmint, maybe some honey if you want it sweet.

I love anything earl grey, but my current favorite is called earl grey moonlight and has crème and blue cornflowers in it

Lemon ginger.

Sweet tea.

unsmoked lapsang souchong. it’s delicious. have only ever found it in asian markets in tins with 正山小種 on them and no english.

it’s just like, the most intensely flavorful black tea you can get. love that stuff
