Tick Tock Rooibos tea only for me. So much better than normal tea.
Also chicory instead of coffee.
Caffeine free life is the best 👌

I only drink loose leaf. I have stuff from Mei Leaf, Tao of Tea, local Asian markets, hojicha / genmaicha / kyobancha straight from Japan, local loose leaf tea shops.
I definitely don't drink PG or Celestial.
Broken Orange Pecoe from the hills of Kerala. I bought a 5kg bag twelve years ago at the factory (can't remember the exact place...) and I have some left.
A couple years later I developed a taste for jasmine tea, but it's been a while since I had any.
I drink tea from Mariage Frères and Palais des Thés (I gave you the en links). I have a fair number of teas that I go through. They both have a fairly large collection, especially Mariage. I haven't tested them all obviously. And don't intend to.
Twinnings is my usual. Pukka, mostly for herbies, and various supermarket ownbrands (not each of them's cheapest ownbrand mind you). Yorkshire is decent, PG tips OK but I never buy the latter myself.
Guizhou Mao Jian (毛尖) of various brands is decent too, if you can find it. More commonly I love an English Breakfast, Earl and Lady Grey, Rooibos, and various herbal concoctions.
Edit: nicest brand of tea I had was TWG, and they were amazing. Too expensive for me to ever buy for myself, though.
Positively Tea Company
Also Fresh Roasted Coffee is great for coffee
Teapigs - one of the best out there!
Lyon's, the superior Irish tea.
I'm also a fan of Yunnan teas. Especially pu ehr (shou, sheng, compressed, loose, it's all good) and Yunnan Noir.
Barry's, speaking as a non-Irish person who loves the idea of two competing tea brands and hasn't even tried Lyon's.
Agreed on Yunnan on all but shu, and sheng at the temperamental ~5-10 age range.
I don't dare express the opinion to my wife, who is Irish, but I actually do enjoy both. They both have distinct flavors and are worth trying.
I drink Caykur Organic Turkish tea every day. It’s addictive.
I usually look for well reviewed, reasonably priced loose Darjeeling of whatever brand I can find when I want black tea. But mostly I mix teas and flower petals of various types depending on my mood. Lavender, chamomile, calendula, rose, etc.
I've been drinking a ton of Tazo glazed lemon loaf tea. Herbal. Splash of oatmilk and rose syrup. Ugh so good. Bigelo Oolong is good too.
Stash, usually lemon ginger
I like their moroccan mint.
All sorts of brands, I care more about which kind of tea it is than the brand
PG Tips for my black tea. Stash for my green tea.
Yogi spiced blackberry
Tiesta
Lots! I'm constantly trying new teas because that's apparently exciting to me. I've done Harney & Sons, Yorkshire, Adagio, a couple of Etsy shops (WildWoodsTea, OpenDoorTeaCT), and ton of local shops (not gonna list to avoid doxxing sorry!)
I'm a basic American and just drink Lipton black tea. I have had PG Tips and liked it but the grocery store near me doesn't carry it anymore 😟.
Builders' if I'm fancy, Tetley if I'm not fancy
I mostly drink spicy chai, supermarket own brand, or twinnings if they're on offer.
Taylors Yorkshire Red. These days, mostly straight too. Iced or hot depending on how fast I want to consume it. Occasionally I’ll do it up with milk/cream and a bit of sugar.
H.E.B.
I mostly buy loose leaf from Upton tea. My favorites are their Assam GFOP and Finest Russian Caravan. They have a ton of varieties from around the world, so I get my usual and try out a couple new ones every time I make an order.
Clipper
I love PG Tips as well for a go-to grocery store black tea, as well as all of Celestial Seasonings hibiscus blends. I used to get tea from Adagio and even made a couple of custom blends but I moved to an area with a decent tea shop and local events that host smaller tea sellers so I try to get loose leaf from them when I get the opportunity.
Scottish Blend.
Traditional: Bigelow or Twinnings Earl Grey
Fruity:Pineapple Hawaiian Breeze (excellent flavor). https://www.spicemerchants.biz/green-teas/pineapple-hawaiian-breeze
Iced: Lipton Black Iced Tea slightly sweetened
Guilty pleasure: Lipton Instant Tea
I like the Pantenger chai, the republic of tea green, almost any black for iced tea (tetley>lipton). I often have some ito en jasmine in the fridge for when i just want to grab something on my way out. I'm also a sucker for HTeaO (a US drive thru iced tea shop), especially a little sweet strawberry passion and the rest unsweet mint.
We don't have a lot of choice over here. It's either Pickwick or store brand. I mostly buy store brand.
It's mostly my wife that buys fruity herbal teas and stuff, but my favourite tea is Twinnings Vanilla Earl Grey. Very rich and fragrant.
I'm basic though. I don't even know the difference between different types of tea, like black, white, green, etc. I usually just go by smell.
Regular bkack tea
Goodhost iced tea. If I ever run out; PeaceTea is a good, if expensive, alternative.
I enjoy Playadito it has a nice mild taste.
