Bigelow French Vanilla paired with Stash Green & White Tea Fusion. I use the bags for both the Bigelow and Stash teas at the same time. I put them in my Keurig and run it so it brews directly into my mug. I reuse the bags once, so I get two mugs out of the two bags.

Peppermint Tea and Earl Grey Tea. Peppermint (I add Splenda) for a sweet pick me up or Earl Grey for a relaxing warm me up tea.

Moderation is the key.

Oh my! Do I have to pick just one?!?! I'm definitely a Harney girl. This time of year I LOVE their Hot Cinnamon Spice (probably my all time fav!) I also discovered this year their Mint Chocolate Tea - definitely a winner on those cold MN nights. I also like their Herbal Peppermint, Herbal Chamomile; and Ginger/Liquorice when I'm feeling under the weather.

Tazo makes a tea called Calm. It's chamomile, rose petals and herbs. I think it is so delicious.

I have become a bit addicted to licorice tea. I started drinking it upon the recommendation of someone at church because I frequently lose my voice when the weather is dry. It really does seem to help with that but it's also quite tasty -- and I am not a fan of licorice at all!

Friendship tea. It's blended on Cape Cod and served at "The Dunbar Tea Room" in Sandwich, MA.
Also Lapsang Souchong. It has a smokey flavor and smells just like a fireplace. I add milk and sugar to have as a dessert tea.

Earl Grey if I want some caffeine, otherwise I love chocolate mint, banana chocolate, strawberry chocolate, sweetened with flavored stevia drops like "english toffee or vanilla", and a dash of salt and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream. As satisfying as hot coco with only 55 calories.

I like black teas- english breakfast, earl grey- but my favorite are the whites. Celestial Seasonings used to make a Perfectly Pear white tea that was my hands-down favorite, followed by Powerfully Plum white tea, but they discontinued their entire line of whites. : (

I prefer green teas. My favorite is a cherry green tea that I bought in Japan, but I think it was by a French company. I also love the Raspberry Zinger tea from Celestial, you can get that at any grocery store.

Green tea that is imported from China. It comes in a frisbee looking disk and takes some time and effort to brew. Very well worth the effort. Tastes like a bit of heaven.
