Love a good peppermint tea in general.

Here are some brands that I have:
Yogi - Egyptian Licorice Mint Tea
Mighty Leaf - Ginger Twist & Tumeric Ginger

My next would be a green tea or green & white tea blend.

Paris from Harney & Sons. They have a somewhat calibrated taste rating scale and reviews that will help you identify trash you might like, which is much more helpful than guessing based on descriptions from a ton of different people/websites.

Yerba mate!

Chamomile

Dragonwell (Longjing) for a fresh vegetal green tea
Tieguanyin for a roasted oolong
Hojicha for a different kind of roasted flavor (Japanese)
Really any other types of greens and oolongs - would pick some random ones to see what you like

You can buy these from any tea store. Places like Ten Ren aren’t too expensive and will just ship to you

* Disclaimer: My descriptions might not be totally accurate - am not an expert.

Where do you get your hojicha?

There are many ways…

Green Tea (green tea leaves soaked in hot water)

Black Tea (black tea leaves soaked it hot water)

Indian Tea (black tea plus milk and sugar)

Masala Tea (spiced Indian tea - many versions, most common are cinnamon, black pepper, green cardamom, fennel seed) you can use combinations to find your taste.

Ginger tea (ginger in black tea, or in Indian tea)

Thai Iced tea (specific kind of black tea soaked in hot water, condensed milk and ice)

Depending on how you want to prepare them, you will have to pick up the variety that works the best with that style of tea.

Coconut black tea from Kai Tea is incredible!!

Peppermint or rose green tea!

Tea Forte boxes are expensive but a great way to try a variety of quality teas and decide which suit you. Plus, they're not loose leaf, so less hassle for a newbie. https://a.co/d/h1lI3rz

I'm an extreme tea neophyte, Earl Gray is my go-to when I sometimes drink tea

Adding on: if it's good enough for the good captain, it's good enough for me!

When I was getting into tea I got a month sampler box from Adagio Teas. They’re loose leaf teas with everything from green tea to black teas to chai

Taiwanese Ruby Black Tea - fine delicate aroma without the bitterness of many black teas if you’re a beginner

Whittard of Chealsea’s English Rose - best rose tea I’ve had.

🇹🇼

I love green & black tea. Tazo makes this awesome strawberry lemon green tea and Twinnings has a matcha cranberry lime tea, delicious. I'm not a milk in tea person.
