Not sure if this counts for the thread, but I drink this honey-zitron-ginger tea twice a day. Great stuff.

This is good, but I suggest try 유자차 (yuja tea) which is basically this but no ginger. I find the ginger too strong to accompany the yuja. even better with extra lemon or yuja juice if you can get a hold of it

I've tried the type without ginger. It might come down to the brand's particular mix or personal taste, but I like the tea with ginger more. My sister-in-law adds more ginger because she uses it as a health supplement.

Could also be that Filipino cuisine uses a lot of ginger, so we're used to the flavor.

Hot take, but I really don't like those Christmas cookie, gingerbread, sort of teas. If I wanted something like that I would make hot cocoa and eat a cookie with it, or add some spices to it.

Not a fan of those either. They always put so much mint or whatever.
 
I'm currently sipping on some 2022 Sheng Puerh from Lao Ban Zang, really fresh, yet full. Ideal for the winter.
Milk Oolong is nice, but I have to be in the mood for it. Lapsang Souchong is really nice, but I have to really be in the mood for it (happens maybe once per year, and the tea loses it's aroma before I get to drink it all, so I end up not really buying it that often).
I've really come to love a japanese green tea prepared the chinese way, but I don't have it on me right now, so I can't share the name

If you have a French press for coffee, you have a fantastic vessel for brewing loose leaf tea. My typical tea routine is to put seven cups of water on the boil in an electric kettle, measure my loose leaf tea (usually either Earl Grey, Irish Breakfast or dried peppermint) into the press, pour enough of the boiling water into the press to fill it and then set a timer for the steep duration. The rest of the boiling water goes into a 32 ounce stainless steel vacuum bottle which gets sealed up and shaken to heat soak the bottle.

When the timer goes off, I plunge the press, pour my first cup of tea, dump the vacuum bottle's contents into the sink and then pour the rest of the press into it and seal it up. This way, I've got hot tea for pretty much the whole morning.

Not conventional, but it works.
 
Anyone know if Lyon's of Piccadilly is still any good? It got bought out by Unilever (wow in 1996) and that's usually a really bad sign for a brand.
