    I bravely fight British stereotypes by generally preferring coffee but I do love Lapsang Souchong which is a smoked Chinese black tea that tastes like a campfire but in a good way

    I got this tangerine puer that I really like. Comes all packed inside the rind and you can add some of the rind for more citrus flavor.

    My favorite tea when I lived in Japanese was traditional (and unsweetened) cold green tea I could buy bottles of at a convenience store. It's an acquired taste but I grew to love it. If I was about town and I was in the mood - I'd grab the hot version. Probably from a vending machine.

    I assume making a cold version at home would be pretty simple but my lazy ass can't be bothered. Also I'll hate any bottled version of "green tea" in the US because it's pumped full of sugar and sweeteners.

    Edit

    I must have made a similar comment at Hexbear years ago and I lamented my laziness. So maybe I'll actually learn how to make cold green tea. But don't quote me.

    I love Moroccan mint tea. Green tea with a bit of spearmint, maybe some honey if you want it sweet.

    I'm partial to Tie Guan Yin and some other oolongs.

    For flavored teas I like jasmine pearls and oolongs coated in ginseng.

      just tried some chamomile, it was pretty interesting. not my favorite but made me feel healthier (not in terms of like, calories, but like medical health). it was very vibey and I enjoyed looking out my window at the trees while drinking it. thank you for the suggestion!
