I drink a lot of tea. Probably about 6 cups a day of various sorts on average. Here are my thoughts on what I drink:

Earl Grey: One of the better pre-packaged teas on the market, and my favorite earl grey.
English Breakfast: Regular or decaf, this is my tea of choice when I'm feeling lazy. Nice mild black tea blend in a bag.

Assam organic: Probably my favorite black tea. Rich, malty, earthy, bitter, with some sharp acidic notes. Wonderful with a bit of milk
Royal Coconut: A nice floral green tea with lots of coconut flavor. Good hot, spectacular iced.
Vanilla Nut Mate: Very easy to drink, especially with a touch of sweetener. A good alternative to black tea.
Masala Chai: Tasty chai. Works best if you actually boil it in the water for ~5 minutes. Deep flavorful tea, great with milk, sugar, and honey.
Pumpkin spice chai: Strong vanilla flavor and aroma. Another one that's good with milk, sugar, and honey.

Tippy Orthodox FBOP (Assam): A nice malty assam with lots of delicate floral notes as well.
