Any Tea Drinkers Here?

I go through rooibos tea so fast when stoned that I've considered placing bulk orders. Nothing quite as good as a pot of rooibos from the morning that's been forgotten to steep all day long.
I've been wanting to explore other kinds of teas though. I'm a big fan of black teas, and I've been wanting to try a good Indian variety, but I cannot decide which kind of get. Whenever I'm at the shop the tea also seems very expensive, so I never know what's the best bang for my buck. Any suggestions?

Zen Green Tea FTW!!

This is what I drink every day at work and I love it.

I like all kinds of teas though..black tea, earl gray, it's all good!

I second the chamomile. Easy to grow, smells heavenly.. tastes sweet.

Gave up coffee a few years ago because it gave me heartburn. Sucks because I loved my french press and stout thick coffee. Replaced it with tea.

I've really come to like tea, though don't know much about the different varieties. I usually drink a blend of earl grey and green tea. Never even think about coffee any longer.

Can't have milk first though! Gotta have the kettle JUST boiled and then scald that teabag so it runs through all that flavour. Gonna make one now

No man.....Milk in first...then pour the freshly brewed tea from your finest bone china teapot.

When using teabags milk in first then teabag just stuffed in the cup but not touching the milk (right size cup is important). Then as you say but got to have the kettle on a rolling boil, pour scalding the milk also.

Love to see that there are many others drinking tea the right way (loose leaf). Here in the states, most everyone gets their caffeine from coffee. I think this has to do with the fact that they use teabags here when they do drink tea. They are almost always flavorless. I order loose leaf online from a place called culinary teas. It's great stuff. My favorite is the lychee congo tea. Pretty sad that I have to get it online, but stores here don't sell the loose leaf.
