[NA] Tea drinkers?

Do love a morning cup of coffee, no plan to change that. Did switch to tea for a mid-afternoon treat/pick-me-up. Tried a bunch, my go-to is PG Tips. A black tea with a nice crisp taste. Do like it with honey! Need the water boiling and let it steep a good 3-4 minutes.

My wife drinks her tea with a little bit of honey. She buy Manuka honey which is produced in New Zealand. I have to say, that honey does have a unique and enjoyable flavor. Of course, I like any honey.
 
I liked this company's tea. I would only mix 1 or 2 bags with regular black tea just for a little flavor. I quit adding sweetener to my tea about 20 years ago. Zhena's gypsy tea.

Unfortunately I think they went out of business.
 
Re: heating, I just nuke a cup of water with a bag in it for two minutes. Works perfectly fine.
 
Well, I've been out of town a couple of days this week, but I got my first cup of Taylors Green Tea with Lemon this morning. Gotta say - it's pretty good! Seems to have a slightly crisper and smoother taste and feel than the Bigelow had. It's not like an Earth shattering revolution of "OMG WHERE HAS THIS TEA BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE!?" but I think I do prefer it over Bigelow at this point. I also ordered a box of Twining's, so I'll try that one tomorrow.
 
Coffee for me and tea for my wife. She drinks tea, mostly Twinings, ALL DAY LONG.
 
What you commonly learned in elementary school history about the Boston Tea Party is indeed wrong. It wasn't a bunch of colonists who got upset of a tax. The issue was actually the recession of the tax on one British tea company (East India Tea Company) which allowed them to sell tea cheaper to their importers undercutting other colonial tea importers as well as those smuggling in tea. The "tea party" was to prevent the unloading of the undercutting tea (most of the other ships had been otherwise embargoed or discouraged from unloading).

I have slowly migrated from coffee to tea with honey as my daily 'start the day' drink. I started with Bigelow Lemon Lift Black tea then saw that they had a Lemon Green tea and tried that out and like it. I've run out of the green tea and am down to the last several bags of the black tea. Before I just go order some more of the Lemon Green Tea, I'm curious if anyone here uses loose leaf tea and if it's any better than the teabag teas that I'm using. If so, what do you suggest? I've been using the reusable K-cups and just stuffing the teabag into it then popping it in the Keurig, but don't necessarily HAVE to use the Keurig, but it sure is convenient.

And before we go there - I'm not talking about Lipton or Luzianne or whatnot - I still use those for when I'm in the mood for some good sweet chugging tea, but I'm looking for a hot sipping tea in the morning.

If you are using tea bags and K-cups, Tazo is a good English breakfast tea.
