Wow, what a great thread! I feel very rewarded for stopping by Tilted Cooking today.
I am a bit of a tea snob, although not a terribly sophisticated one. My family has a lot of British influence, so I grew up seeing my grandparents and mother drink black tea every day. I do use tea in bags though, since I'm usually the only one drinking it and it doesn't make sense to brew a whole pot. I put cream in it, as my stomach won't tolerate it without. I generally buy imported tea, although Tazo "Awake" is alright in a pinch. I also drink a lot of herbal teas, the kind with medicinal uses or for relaxation. I can't tolerate any sort of flavored tea - to me, things like cinnamon, almond flavoring or fruity flavors just aren't "tea." I won't touch them, and I've had some embarassing moments after accepting the offer of a cup of tea only to find that the person has a cupboard full of "almond spice" or "roasted blackberry" or whatever.
I also love green tea, having spent time in Japan as a child.
I'll have to try some of the teas mentioned here - this is great!
