Oolong
Hōjicha honorable mention
Milky Oolong is the GOAT.
I love it iced with no milk or sugar!
Oh, I’ve never had it iced. I’ll have to try it.
But Milky Oolong is just a strain of Oolong, just to clarify. It doesn’t have any milk but tastes milky. It’s delicious.
Ooooh I have to try that! And yes, iced oolong is on another level!
Iced hōjicha is also very good, genmaicha is delicious both ways too!

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 caravan is also worth a try if you like this.
Ah yeah, I’ve had that before and it is very nice
I really like a pu’erh. A slightly fermented oxidized tea.
Russian Earl Grey (this is the favourite always)
Lady Grey
Earl Grey
Cinnamon heavy chai
Green tea with lemon
Lady Grey
Chai in the winter
🤘 Lady Grey all day!!
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.
jasmine green tea if i had to pick. prefer the pearls
I love Moroccan mint tea. Green tea with a bit of spearmint, maybe some honey if you want it sweet.
t boy swag
I love anything earl grey, but my current favorite is called earl grey moonlight and has crème and blue cornflowers in it
adagio? that stuff is amazing
Hell yeah! I get the giant bag and it lasts me all year
Chamomile :)
just tried some chamomile, it was pretty interesting. not my favorite but made me feel healthier (not in terms of like, calories, but like medical health). it was very vibey and I enjoyed looking out my window at the trees while drinking it. thank you for the suggestion!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m partial to Tie Guan Yin and some other oolongs.
For flavored teas I like jasmine pearls and oolongs coated in ginseng.
Lemon ginger.
