and where do you purchase it?
I like Chai tea, but I'm not sure if it's good for you.

There is a tea shop at Tyson's Corner called Teavanna, they are also online that has a Rooibos Chai. I enjoy that quite a bit.

I really love Harney & Sons teas. (Doesn't this Valentine's Blend sound lovely?)
Mostly though, I just drink decaffeinated Irish Breakfast.

my favorites are the apple/cinnamon blends (base is usually chamomile).. but I also really like the Good Earth Original Herb Blend.
The only "real tea" I drink is the occational green or oolong with chinese food.. my favorite of those is a jasmine green tea.

Early in the day, I like my "strong" teas like Earl Gray or English Breakfast, both Twinings.
Later on in the day, I switch it up a little and drink some Celestial seasonings flavor like Raspberry Zinger or Apple Cinnamon.
I haven't had any Chai. I guess I am missing something. My big treat is International Coffee's French Vanilla Cafe.

I LOVE the Madagascar Rooibus, but I haven't been able to find it in stores around here anymore 
I like a nice chai, but lately I've been reaching for my Elaines White Pear, which is from a local tea house.

I just discovered Celestial Seasonings True Blueberry. I'm not usually a big fan of fruit-flavored teas, but this one is yummy! I like to brew it together with the Tension Tamer tea in the afternoon or SleepyTime at night.

I like Ridgway's Organic Earl Gray and their Black Tea. Lots of milk and sugar too (I learned to drink tea in India  ).

Depends on the season, my mood, whatever, but right now I am liking Stash spiced Chai, Stash lemon ginger tea, Celestial Seasonings Decaf China Pearl white tea, and my old standby Celestial Seasonings Mandarin Orange Spice.
I get them all at the grocery store.

I love Darjeeling... one description I read called it "the champagne of teas". It really does have a lovely flavor.

A friend came back from Mauritius a couple of years ago (hmm... maybe as long as 10!) with a _fabulous_ vanilla tea! I know no more about it than that, but it was superb!
I've tried the various vanilla teas I've found locally with no success:-( The best alternative was to put vanilla pods in with a batch of plain black leaves, and leave it sealed for a couple of months... but it's still nothing like as good:-(
I didn't even make a note of the brand:-(

The boys LOVE Earl Grey here so that's what we stock the most of. However, I love Rooibos, Earl Grey, English Breakfast and Darjeeling, Oolong and Jasmine, and something called "Pooli"??? that we have at our favorite Dimsum place but that I haven't found commercially. My favorite brands are Harney and Sons and TeaSpot(esp. their Red Rocks Rooibos!), but for everyday drinking my kids will take everything from Stash to Bigelow to Twinings. Months ago I found a REALLY good Chai, but forgot to take note of the brand, and I haven't found it again because we try so many. I've tried making my own Chai but I can't get the flavors to come out clear -- they somehow always taste "muddied".

I love Chai. I drink it alot with lots of milk. Too much probably  and Earl Grey with milk too. I tend to drink more fruity teas in the summer time. I just happen to have a big stash in my basement tea room.

We are big tea drinkers here and have an entire kitchen drawer devoted to tea. I really enjoy Celestial Seasonings Chocolate Caramel Enchantment in the morning, but have started to mix it with two bags of Lipton decaf per pot for the sake of my sleep issues. Our youngest son's favorite is Bigelow's Sweet Dreams tea. CS's Candy Cane Lane was a delightful surprise during the Christmas season (it's decaf), but it's only available seasonally...I noticed our local stores couldn't keep it stocked while the other seasonal choices from CS were less popular. CS Cinnamon Apple Spice is delicious hot or cold...for cold I pop a bag in a glass, run cold water over it and sip, then just keep refilling with fresh water for all day refreshment. We used to find a four berry blend, made by Bigelow I believe, that was absolutely scrumptious, but we haven't been able to find it for quite awhile :(
The Blueberry tea mentioned earlier is incredible with muffins or pie made with fresh-picked blueberries!
I think my love of tea developed from two early childhood experiences. I fondly recall drinking green tea on Sunday afternoons in my maternal grandmother's breakfast nook. For me, green tea recalls many cherished memories of my G-ma. Another time I remember being utterly delighted by a cup of Jasmine tea in a quaint little oriental restaurant in our hometown..it was tucked upstairs over the local dimestore and was called Fairy Gardens! Dining there was like stepping inside a fairy tale! If I am ever blessed to enjoy jasmine tea again I will surely be transported back in time to that magical experience.

My absolute favorite tea is Hot Cinnamon Sunset. No sugar necessary and it takes cream very well.
