Preferences..herbal/fruit teas

Options
I'm just getting into drinking herbal/fruit teas & am looking for recommendations of what to avoid & what to try.

So far I've tried Clipper berries (I think it's called) & that is really nice. Would like to try others, but there are so many, I'm stuck on what to buy.

  • I was addicted to Sainsbury's own Blackcurrant tea and then they stopped doing it - aaargh! I have since worked my way through various different brands but, as yet, not found one anywhere near as nice. I am currently on Sainsbury's Blackberry, Blueberry & Acai Berry infusion - not bad but not as nice as the original Blackcurrant one. I look forward to any recommendations you may get, especially if anyone knows of a nice blackcurrant one!

    Blackcurrant tea tends to smell like overripe cats pee to anyone other than the drinker, so best used only in the privacy of your own home.

    I once unleashed it's aroma in the office I then worked in and it caused a short blip in production as the odour spread. I hurriedly wrapped the tea bag in a thick envelope and binned it - never did admit to being the source tho' ;(

    Mostly I'm on green tea with lemon at the moment.

    I've got a thing for orange, mango & cinnamon at the moment, tho i do like a cup of black chai, why dont you buy a couple of the mixed packs that way if there one your not to keen on your not stuck with a whole box
  • Yes, will check out the variety boxes. Don't think I could stomach Chamomile, the smell always makes me feel abit sickly anyway.
  • Tried Pukka Tea Chamomile & Vanilla this weekend and I'm addicted!

    It's a bit expensive though - Tesco had is on offer at £1.69 for 20bags.

    I prefer Clipper organic teas, and Yogi teas. My faves are, chamomile, black tea, green tea, liquorice, chai, fennel, and sleepeasy. There are a few more, but those are what I always go back to.
  • I drink the twinnings fruit teas, cant abide green tea, just the smell alone makes me want to puke

    I can't drink any tea (even traditional) but I do like an odd cup of peppermint tea & it's great if you have indigestion, feel sick or have an upset tum, really settles thing's.
    Booo!!!

    I love the Typhoo fruit teas - they used to be London Fruit and Herb Co - they are absolutely my favourite, but I do like pukka teas too.

    Yogi teas are the best. I've tried loads of them and still keep coming back to Yogi.
