Can anyone recommend any really nice flavours of tea? PG tips just doesn't taste nice to me, neither does tetley.
I want a nice one that is not flavoured with lemon etc.

I drink Earl Grey all the time now, ordinary tea tastes strange to me after a few years of just drinking earl grey.

I drink Assam for breakfast as it's got a really strong flavour and wakes me up. I also like Earl Grey or Lady Grey with lemon in the afternoon but I'm more fond of Lapsang Souchon which has a smoky flavour to it.

As long as there's no sugar or milk in it, it's apparently very good for you.....link

Green tea has wonderful health benefits. It kills cancer cells,lowers cholesterol,inhibits blood clots,good for teeth as it gets rid of the plaque bacteria and its great for rheumatism.

Only bad thing is,too much might make you an insomniac due to the caffeine.

I often try new teas but always end up going back to PG tips I think it has to be my favourite but I also like the Yorkshire tea for hard water but I think Tetley's is awful.

I use Typhoo green tea blend as my standard tea - its 60% green tea, 40% black tea. I think its delicious.

I also have ordinary green tea, white tea, chamomile and peppermint in the cupboard - but the black/green blend is the one I use most.

I like the Clipper teas as the flavours are very fresh-tasting. Try green tea with raspberry.

Alternatively Rooibos (breakfast tea) has a strong and unique taste that is quite pleasant.

Maybe buy a selection box with a few different types and then make a note of the ones you like. You can always palm off any you don't like on colleagues by leaving them in the staff kitchen at your work.

I'm not a huge tea fan, but I don't like PG tips or Tetley either - I find that Yorkshire Tea tastes nice, as does the Twinnings Everyday Tea.

Whittards do a large variety of flavoured teas

Vanilla, Orange Pekoe, Mango, Peach, Apple Crumble - all go well with milk.

Twinings Earl and Lady Grey are lovely. I also like Rose Puchong.

I like my tea like my men, hot and strong

Twinings Assam is my first choice and is always stocked up in my cupboard. I'm not fussed on Earl Grey
