All Tetley:
Green Tea
Green Tea with pomegranate
Earl Grey
Orange Pekoe
Chai

Others:
Vanilla Grenadine (hard to find, I happened upon this in Antigua)
Lemon

Ones I don't like:
Earl Grey Vanilla (my BF loves it though)
White Tea

I use honey in all of my tea and no milk or cream. The only tea I drink 'black' is green tea, and only in the Japanese restaurants cause you have no choice.

I too am pretty unfamiliar with teas. Sakkra's been trying to make my ass cultured with some of those teas he's pointed out, but I still haven't quite been able to get an appreciation of it.

Maybe I need biscuits or something to go with it, I dunno.

Watch out guys, teas contain high levels of tannin which will decrease your absorption of iron.

But green tea supposedly protects against death from "all" causes, hahah.

I buy a good deal of loose leaf tea from Stash. Typically Moroccan Mint (a green tea) and some variety of Chai. I presently have both of those and some Jasmine tea, which makes for a nice, subtle fragrance if mixed with either of the others.

Good Earth makes a decent Chai (Better than Tzao, which starbucks carries, imo), especially with just a hint of sugar.

Bigelow also has some Vanilla Hazelnut and Vanilla Almond teas that are surprisingly mild, without an overpowering of either the vanilla or the particular nut flavor like some other teas have.

Tea is for sick people. Healthy people drink coffee, water, or booze depending on the time of day.

I like both coffee and tea. I go through phases where I'll drink just tea, then just coffee, and then both.

right now I'm on a coffee phase.

The only thing is, we don't get certain kinds of Tazo. They have a Jasmine Silver Tips that I hear is pretty good, and I picked up a box of Citron at Akin's Health Foods once that was delicious (and yes, pricey, but worth it.) We also don't carry the Darjeeling, Om, Lotus, or Envy. And I miss Sweet Cinnamon Spice, but Starbucks stopped carrying it like 6 months after I got hired because it was so unpopular.

I got into tea because I hated coffee so much when I started working there.

Oh, that's why you get it for free, you work at Starbucks.. I was going to say, most places wouldn't shell out that much for free tea. lol

I've only actually had Awake. I think I box of 25 goes for $6 at the grocery store, but I've only seen it at Fortinos for sale.

I can get as much as a free box every week, if I want. Plus whatever I drink while I'm actually working.

Well I figure being groped by some retard guy probably won't be as bad as having my idiot assistant manager talk down to me like she's some kind of god.
