Impra Gold orange peoke. Get the loose-leaf kind that comes in a metal container.
But one time, I was dragged into helping a guy I didn't know move a couch up stairs. Afterwards his wife (they were an Indian couple) made me some chai tea that was the best thing I ever drank in my life. I would happily carry another couch for one more cup. I was a fool and didn't ask what that tea was, and since then I have tried different chai teas (including when I went to India) and I never even found one I liked at all.
Celestial Seasoning Bengal Spice
I also really enjoy this one. However, it contains no tea leaves so not a 'true' tea. 'Tisane' or 'herbal infusion' are the more precise terms.
Yorkshire Tea Gold, a little agave and a splash of milk.
Irish black with a splash of cream in the morning. Peppermint tea after the stars are out
Milky oolong. It has just the right amount of sweetness and just evokes feelings of coziness for me. Sometimes I add a little bit of jasmine as well.
Sweet Tea. The Southern US kind, black tea brewed with more and more sugar until, ideally, it’s actually a supersaturated solution. Then served cold over ice. Literal diabetes juice.
I don’t have it often, but it’s the best tea in the world because, on the whole, tea is garbage water.
Fight me. 😂
We love a tea called Bengal Spice (B Spice) by Celestial Seasonings. Caffeine free. Kinda in the realm of chai. Dash of milk. Usually before bed.
My daily driver is Lipton Orange Pekoe. It's fantastic and priced right for what it is. My rainy day sipping tea is a Taiwanese Fujian black tea.
PG Tips :-D
I know everyone goes on about Yorkshire Tea and sure I like it too, but I've been drinking PG Tips several times a day for my entire life, and I love it.
Proper tea that keeps England going!

Please try August Uncommon Teas. August.la is the link. I raved about them to a friend who honestly became annoyed with me going on about them. Then, tried them. She called me and was like, "Oh, shit. Nico was right."
First flush, estate, Darjeeling. Done with the proper temp water in traditional tea pot.
If you have to add flavor to the the tea leaves, looking at you Earl Grey, then it is most likely a crap quality tea.
Cheapest store brand orange pekoe black tea
Day to day is Yorkshire tea with a little sugar. Every now and then I like to mix some Darjeeling with licorice tea.
Masala chai, came to like it after few visits in India.
Spice tea :3
Assam probably.
I love green tea. I'm not sure if there's specific kinds I prefer as I haven't tried a lot of different teas, but I have a Sencha Lime Green Tea that is amazing.
Black mint tea
Lady Grey
Earl Grey in a pinch
To quote Al Swearengen: "I like that fucking darjeeling black. Oops."
Darjeeling or Ceylon
Haven't been able to get decent tea out Sri Lanka since about 2005... Fuck war but also, production has been moving from high altitude to low altitude, which produces a lower class tea IMO but is also cheaper to grow.
Learning about old people drama, its so interesting to find out about a 30 years old beef that never gets squashed
Y’all are actually into specific teas! I just like anything fruity, lol. Usually decaf, because my body despises caffeine.
Oolong specifically Dongfang meiren
Artichoke is the ultimate choice without a morsel of doubt. Any other answer is wrong because of that.
