who better to ask than a forum full of a bunch of brits?

got any recommended brands/types? ive always hated it, but lately it's grown on me so much that i'm drinking 5-6 cups a day. started off drinking loads of iced tea these last few months and then i gave the real thing a try...

rooibos is made from some sort of root I believe. Tastes like a faint earthy vanilla. Nice for a caffeine free tea before bed.
I personally like to drink the green tea with toasted barley in it that I get from my local japanese foods store.

I wouldn't go with any brands. Especially not tea bags. If you want some serious loose tea at a very good price I highly recommend this shop http://www.yunnansourcing.com/store/
My favourite Teas on their are:

Bewley's Gold Blend the very best! I drink tea way too much though, average 6/7 cups a day.

green tea is different

not a drop of sugar, i love the earthiness..
reminds me of iced barley tea which is one of my favorite things to drink.

My favourite :U: It's really good with milk and honey
Discovered a really cool tea shop selling all sorts of different mixes of rooibos. Bought me rooibos with orange, rooibos with almond, marzipan and pineapple and rooibos with cola nuts and caramel. Fucking lovely.

don't really drink tea that much, but i have a load of ceylon black tea bags from a russian supermarket that i get on if i've already had too much coffee that day. you're not meant to put milk in them apparently but i do.

other than that.... tea. man. nah.
