What?! I've never heard of this but I must try it!
I've just been drinking English Breakfast. I actually really like Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Kids. It's grape flavored, which sounds super weird, but it's so good!
For regular old black tea, Lyons in the pyramid bags. I fell in love with it when I lived in Ireland and now get it from a specialty Irish goods store since the grocery stores around here think Barry's is acceptable... no thank you!
For flavored black tea, twinnings black currant (also not available in the us, I order it in cases off Amazon).
More "specialty," Asian pear white yes from teavana.

Teavana's Christmas tea. I don't remember what it's actually called, but that's what we called it. It has peppermint and white chocolate in it - It's heavenly.
Masala chai. A very traditional Indian version of the standard chai. I like mine very strong.
If anyone fancies it, make your standard tea chai and drop in some cinnamon sticks and whole cardamon and let it cook with the black tea leaves and milk for at least 5-7 mins. The traditional masala tea has many other spices as well but I like this version just as much.
Any kind of mint! I will miss it this fall, avoiding it because of BF and supply.
Holy shit! Mint is bad for supply?!? I drink a lot of mint.. sometimes I grind some up from my herb garden too.
@TessyMessy mint will decrease your supply. when I switched to FF, my dr had me drink a certain peppermint drink and eat a lot of peppermint because it works quickly. be careful!

Wow. I feel like a dumb dumb. I haven't had any supply issues but I'll be sure to watch my mint intake. Thanks!
Re: Tea
Also live some rooibos.

That's right, Tea sucks.
