I don’t know why I like a fast-food sweet tea so much. Sweet tea itself is a different type of animal than regular brewed tea; it has a syrupyness that’s awesome. And McDonald’s does it right. :)

Starbuck’s Chai latte, whether hot or iced, is a wonderful, creamy treat. One of my favourite cold drinks!

I agree that this can be a bit strong with the bergamot as well. However, I drank with milk and sugar, and it settled down into a wonderful Earl Grey. Bright but not too peppery.

Bracing. Strong black tea with bite, but still very smooth. I take mine with milk and sweetener, and this keeps me going through my afternoon slump. It’s coffee for non-coffee drinkers!

I tasted a combination of MateVana AND Rooibos Chai at Teavana today; it was bright and aromatic, and I had to try it as an iced tea. It’s fabulous, and has a complex yet creamy flavour.

I may have a bias because I generally don’t like tisanes, but this particular tisane is so cloying with its over-the-top flavour. I mixed it with a basic black tea to bring down the syrupiness a notch, which generally helps, but the cinnamon in this tea overpowers everything else.

I normally shy away from peppery teas, but Adagio’s Golden Monkey is very smooth and satisfying. jtchampeau, I’m going to have to try a cold brew the next time I have it!

I agree with TeaBoat – this tea is downright happy. I use it for both hot and iced tea, and the mango is a pleasant reminder of summer. Fruit teas can often be too cloying, but mango pairs very well with black tea.

Strong, flavourful Earl Grey that goes very well with milk. Earl Grey is one of my favourite teas, and Caykur makes a full-bodied range of black teas that get me up and going in the morning. :)
