What could be more appropriate in a forum called Tea and Conversation than to discuss what type of tea you drink the most? Please elaborate on brand and flavor in the comments.
I believe the giveaway for this poll is.... Celestial Seasonings Tea

I stick mostly with herbal teas, though I might have a bit of green tea with a meal or the occasional white tea (vanilla and apricot white tea from TAZO).
I like spicy blends, and I like them a bit sweet.
But my hands down most turned to herbal tea is Good Earth's Sweet and Spicy (herbal.. they have one that also has black tea in it). It's a sweet enough tea that I don't add anything which makes it ideal for carrying a bag or two in my purse so that if I'm out I have the option of a tea that I can drink.

We have a variety of teas on hand, and each one of us has a favorite, but by and large, we all drink plain black tea most of the time.
It's still a special treat when my ds comes home (with his own family, now) and wants to sit down to have tea together.

My favorite is Lady Grey, which complements my husband's favorite Earl Grey nicely.

I'm just a plain black ice tea drinker. I never liked hot tea until a fellow homeschooler introduced me to some delicious flavors. Of course, I can't find anything similiar in taste as to what she fixed me! I'm hoping this post will be helpful.

I'm not sure Jodie. The one that I enjoyed was caramel apple but it didn't really taste like that or at least not over powering. I would like to find a good brand as I think that may be my issue with most of them.

My favorite is Constant Comment, but I also like Earl Grey. It can be hard to find CC in decaf, which I need since I drink tea on cold evenings.

My favorite is strong black British tea with milk and a dash of honey. Dh brings me back the real thing whenever he goes to England. Otherwise Trader Joe's Irish breakfast tea will do.
Winter mornings I make a big pot of chai with milk and raw honey to warm everyone up.
I am trying to get more into herbal teas....

I drink about the same amount of herbal and black. Basically other then having something with caffeine in the morning and not drinking caffeine after the children's bedtime, I have no strong preferences and thus choose my hot beverages according to the mood of the moment and what's in the cupboard. Currently there's black tea, a lemon herbal, raspberry herbal, and ginger peach herbal plus a few assorted bags. Normally there's also mint.
I also drink hot and sweet coffee flavored milk  (heated milk with suger and instant coffee)

Tazo Wild Sweet Orange
I had it a lovely bed and breakfast and it is so, so good! I drink tea about 10 times a year at best, but this is my new favorite.

When I drink tea it is herbal. My drink of choice is almost always coffee. Herb tea is an afternoon at home drink when I don't have any late appointments.

Numani Organic Honeybush tea is one of my favorites. I discovered it at a little tea house/restaurant I went to with dd. It has such a smooth flavor! I am so happy Amazon has it. 
But I also really like Celestial Seasonings Vanilla Chamomile tea... it has a very nice taste also, slightly vanilla-ish/sweet.
I am caffeine free  , so I only drink herbal teas. Does that make me a tea tee totaler?

English Breakfast. I'm mostly a coffee drinker, but in the cold weather, tea is just so warming and comforting. I'll drink pretty much any brand of English Breakfast, but my 17yo, who has become a tea connoisseur (what did he want for his birthday? really nice loose teas in tins), drinks Tazo's Awake! English Breakfast a lot. So I drink that mostly.
Probably my favorite tea, though, is Taylor's of Harrogate, which we lived on in England -- is that the tea your husband brings back to you, Marilyn? They adjust the blend depending on the water hardness/softness of your area -- though we once found some in a TJ Maxx here, and I really couldn't tell that it wasn't formulated for my particular water supply, even though I imagine it wasn't.

Oh, I like chai, too.

It used to be English Breakfast, but I only like it with milk, and we aren't drinking milk for a time right now.
We are also coffee free at the moment, which I miss. 
So, I am drinking herbals, which I like plain or with just honey. I like the loose herbal teas from Mountain Rose Herb (I also like their loose black teas). Right now, we are drinking a lot of their Fairy Tale Tea and herbal chai. My favorite bagged tea for when I don't want to make a whole pot is Yogi's Tahitian Vanilla Hazelnut. It is really good with milk and sugar, too, but I like it plain as well.

I'm dialing back from milk, too, Lindsay, and am trying to make my peace with almond milk in coffee and tea. So far . . . meh . . . but I persevere!
