    since there is already more tea than coffee posts, lets keep it going:

    I like Lyons mostly, but branch out into green tea in the evenings.

    Lyons Gold Blend normally and Vanilla Almond Tea can be tasty every once in a while.

    Green tea with roasted brown rice is my favourite by far.
    Second place is shared by Lady Grey and Chai tea (where I actually prefer the powdered stuff to bags! Isn't that odd?)

    really? do you just add the rice to the tea or is it a flavoured one?

    Barry's Gold Blend.

    Really like the Barry's decaff too, coz it doesn't keep me awake and is just as good.

    M&S Fairtrade Decaff is also v nice

    It's a flavoured tea, consisting of Japanese Green tea and roasted brown rice in bags. It's called Genmaicha, and you can buy it in larger healthfood and/or tea stores such as Nature's Way on South George Street in Dublin.

    used to love Barry's but now I'm a Lyons convert.

    Ginger tea with honey is lovely, especially if you've a cold.

    Find it hard to get nice green tea, but the Asia Markets always have a good selection.

    you are a bit of a tea pimp really nesf aren't you!

    i tried that white tea from the older thread (well a similar one) and
    wasn't overly taken with it. maybe the one I got wasn't a great brand,
    must try the one from that site too..

    I like the Twinings Earl Grey myself, must try Genmaicha. I'm going to be out a fortune the next time I go shopping.

    Twinings Green tea is good stuff as is rooibos. Can't beat those pyramid bags for a decent cuppa too.

    Yeah that's the only brand of it I've tried. I liked it a lot. I found it much nicer than most green teas I've tried.

    My personal recommendation would be their Breakfast Assam. It's a nice strong malty assam very full in flavour. I've been searching for a decent replacement in the shops here (ordering tea from the US is not exactly something for the weekly shopping list...).

    A good Assam tea would be my favourite but day to day I'm happy enough with Barry's. I'm a bit of a black tea kind of person, I flirted with green and white tea for a while but it never made a lasting impression on me. :)
