What are you drinking?

My favorite so far is Celestial Seasons Candy Cane Lane. It's decaf green tea, and I love the peppermint flavor.

Anyone else?

That is my favorite seasonal tea! I love it! My second favorite is Bigelow's Egg Nog'n, but I can't find a store to carry it this year.

Not very fond of the CS Gingerbread Tea. The Candy Cane Lane was yummy, but I have to say that I like just the plain Peppermint more.

I actually just placed an order with Adagio Teas. I am going to try a few of their Holiday Teas, and maybe then I will be able to post a favorite. I have never tried their teas before, but I have heard good things.

Usually, I just drink chamomile, or regular ol' Tetley.

But I did have one recently with toffee flavor that was good....

Oh, and this is probably weird, but some of the best peppermint tea I have ever had I have gotten from an IBS website. It was listed as a "tummy tea" - but oh, wow, is it good.

Organic Peppermint Tea

Dh just tried it the other night as he was wanting tea, and he kept remarking on the good smell & taste too (and it comes in a pretty package, always a nice touch.)

Another vote for Candy Cane Lane. Though my herbal tea drinker loved Sugar Plum Spice and the others prefer Nutcracker Sweet.

We loved Stash's Christmas Teas last year.

Right now I'm drinking -- not really a Holiday Tea, but it's RED so it goes with the theme -- TeaSpot's Red Rocks. It's sooo yummy.

I think this year we'll try something from Harney and Sons. I'm such a sucker for pretty tins!

Sure to become my new Christmas favorite:Holiday Tea by Harney & Sons. (I found it at Barnes & Noble in the cafe.) It's sooo good - a black tea with citrus, spices and almond. It makes me think of an olde English Christmas (and I have no idea why, it just does ).

Thanks for all the great tea ideas!
