All the different varieties that Celestial Seasoning makes. I have at least 20 different kinds right now. I've turned so many people in to tea lovers. All of my sons friends help themselves to hot or cold tea when ever they visit.

I don't really have any brand loyalty, but I pretty much only drink green and white tea. I'm not a fan of the various herbal teas or black teas. Moroccan mint tea is excellent though.
I love tea. Lady Grey is my favorite regular tea, but the best tea I've ever had was Caramel Tea, in Nice, France. Haven't found anything even remotely as good as that :-)
I had some nice pomegranate tea the other week.
And I fancied the coca tea when I was in Peru... but that's neither here nor there..

So I was in the fucking mall today, and right after I walked out of JC Penney's I am struck and amazed by this Chinese antiques store that I later found was just put in a week ago. I walk in and I'm surrounded by Chinese furniture from 1900-1950. Beautiful rugs hanging up and a variety of intricately decorated buddhas, pottery and an ornaments all around. Very down to earth, not plastic at all. The place has three massage parlors too! I'm chattin it up with the store owner (she came right to me, and usually I'm annoyed by that in a mall store, but not this time) and just hearing the stories of all this stuff, and how the Chinese gave it all up for modern things, it was fascinating. So I didn't go in planning to buy anything, but... and this is the part of the story that is finally about tea... I had to have something, so I bought this tea brewing kit: it's a ceramic mug, mostly green in color, but with blue dragons, red flames and white puffs of smoke. intricate, but i'm pretty sure it's mass produced. and not an antique. still cool looking though! and so it has a ceramic piece that you put the tea leaves into and then you drop it into the mug, and then you fill the mug with hot water and put the lid on top of all of it. wait however long, remove the top two pieces, and there's your cup of tea. and you can reuse the tea leaves for two more days. i got japanese green tea to go with it. i couldn't tell you what it's called because it's only japanese characters on the box. i usually prefer English Breakfast or some other kind of black tea, but this is the best green tea i've had, and i should drink more of it. it's coffee in the morning for me and tea in the afternoon, and it used to be a beer when i get home from work, but now beer just makes me fall asleep!
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
And i'll drink any brand... as long as it's fairtrade.
Although I do like me some Assam, Earl Grey and Keemun. Again though, it has to be fairtrade.
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
