I like variety even in black tea, so twinnings is the most by volume in my kitchen
Shaka tea, either ice tea in cans or brew hot from packets.
Davidson's gunpowder green and occasionally their Earl grey
I have bags of davidsons English breakfast and earl grey, both are good

I feel like such a poser over here with my Bigelow and Celestial Seasonings.
Broken Orange Pecoe from the hills of Kerala. I bought a 5kg bag twelve years ago at the factory (can't remember the exact place...) and I have some left.
A couple years later I developed a taste for jasmine tea, but it's been a while since I had any.
Local to me, but Rare Tea Cellar makes some excellent blends.
Sari Wangi
Chun Mee loose leaf green tea from a German drug store chain (DM). A fresh, rather herbal taste with a hint of bitterness. I love it.
Or, if that counts, ginger tea made from fresh ginger root slices.
Twinnings everyday or english breakfast
Bigelow or Stash double bergamot Early Grey, or Hime Genmaicha. I've tried brands that cost more or less and always come back to these three.
Not sure it counts as tea, but I've also got a taste for Yerba Mate.
Dilmah
Lyon's, the superior Irish tea.
I'm also a fan of Yunnan teas. Especially pu ehr (shou, sheng, compressed, loose, it's all good) and Yunnan Noir.
I drink Caykur Organic Turkish tea every day. It’s addictive.
PG Tips for my black tea. Stash for my green tea.
Taylors Yorkshire Red. These days, mostly straight too. Iced or hot depending on how fast I want to consume it. Occasionally I’ll do it up with milk/cream and a bit of sugar.
I mostly drink spicy chai, supermarket own brand, or twinnings if they're on offer.
I love PG Tips as well for a go-to grocery store black tea, as well as all of Celestial Seasonings hibiscus blends. I used to get tea from Adagio and even made a couple of custom blends but I moved to an area with a decent tea shop and local events that host smaller tea sellers so I try to get loose leaf from them when I get the opportunity.
Traditional: Bigelow or Twinnings Earl Grey
Fruity:Pineapple Hawaiian Breeze (excellent flavor). https://www.spicemerchants.biz/green-teas/pineapple-hawaiian-breeze
Iced: Lipton Black Iced Tea slightly sweetened
Guilty pleasure: Lipton Instant Tea
Lots! I'm constantly trying new teas because that's apparently exciting to me. I've done Harney & Sons, Yorkshire, Adagio, a couple of Etsy shops (WildWoodsTea, OpenDoorTeaCT), and ton of local shops (not gonna list to avoid doxxing sorry!)
Scottish Blend.
I mostly buy loose leaf from Upton tea. My favorites are their Assam GFOP and Finest Russian Caravan. They have a ton of varieties from around the world, so I get my usual and try out a couple new ones every time I make an order.
Builders' if I'm fancy, Tetley if I'm not fancy
H.E.B.
Regular bkack tea
Yogi spiced blackberry
Tiesta
I enjoy Playadito it has a nice mild taste.
Stash Tea is reasonably local to me. I drink their English Breakfast and the Cranberry Pomegranate.
Goodhost iced tea. If I ever run out; PeaceTea is a good, if expensive, alternative.
I like the Pantenger chai, the republic of tea green, almost any black for iced tea (tetley>lipton). I often have some ito en jasmine in the fridge for when i just want to grab something on my way out. I'm also a sucker for HTeaO (a US drive thru iced tea shop), especially a little sweet strawberry passion and the rest unsweet mint.
We don't have a lot of choice over here. It's either Pickwick or store brand. I mostly buy store brand.
I'm a basic American and just drink Lipton black tea. I have had PG Tips and liked it but the grocery store near me doesn't carry it anymore 😟.
