I am not a huge tea drinker....but I like it and have it from time to time....but I only drink Iced tea.
I usually just do green tea or black tea....occasionally passion tea.
I love to get a Venti Black Iced Tea with Raspberry at starbucks. Yum!
And my tea has to be sweetened....even if it is just with some splenda. I can't do plain tea...or black coffee either.
If you come to my house you could knock yourself out... I've got at least 15 different flavors of teas.
I've got the following tea leaves:
Peppermint
Iced Princess - Fruit blend
Marrakesh - Green tea
Chamomile Mint
Sleep Well
Tangerine Dream - Rooibos
Long Island Strawberry - Flavored Green
Blueberry Bang - Rooibos
Hawaiian Colada - Rooibos
Cream Earl Gray
Last Mango In Paris - Herb and Fruit Tea
Tea Bags:
Green & white Tea
Peach Black Tea
Wild Raspberry
Green Tea
Yikes I've got a lot of tea LOL
The Fruity ones I use to make Iced tea in the summer - I sweeten it since I don't drink unsweetened iced tea's (the canadian in me).

*looks at entire cupboard full of tea* ... Huh, I'm starting to run low on my coconut sencha. I guess I should pick up another half-kilo when we visit my in-laws in December!
I love tea. Mostly, I drink green teas, sometimes black or oolong, occasionally herbal or rooibos.
... I would be totally up for a tea-party at some point, if people are interested in that kind of thing.
Depending on timing, I might even be able to host.
If it worked out for me to come I would definitely try making it I've always wanted to do one of those as well... problem is I have to drive 3 hours to Seattle.... hmmm day trip maybe lol

I love sleepy time tea with valerian
I drink a few glasses a week - I currently have a pmegranate one I love.
If I find the sugar cookie tea again this year, I swear I'm buying a pallet.
Tea parties are a lot of fun! I hosted a Fe-BREW-ary party a couple years back and loved it! But, well, haha, this year, February's kind of blocked off.
Oof, three hours! It's definitely possible for a day-trip, or we could try to figure out somewhere a bit more in the middle! Regardless, we should try and make it work at some point.
It is practically more than a shelf full in the cupboard.

I might be a tea-o-holic. The top shelf here isn't completely full, but I have my Coconut Sencha (my favourite
) on the counter, and it's the same size as the canisters up there. ...Note that I have a bunch of canisters from TeaVana because they had a $1/canister sale, but most of my tea is actually from another store entirely...

Tea is so much fun and get's to be so addicting! I love going to the tea store and smelling all the different ones and then deciding what to get. I've told myself I need to empty some of the older ones first though before I'm allowed to go get more though! haha

I have to limit myself to 4 or 6 boxes of tea at a time, so it takes up around 6"x6" of counterspace (not enough cupboard space to spare). I love going to Pike Place and looking (and smelling) at the teas, but can only buy one every now and then.
I did have a pretty nice Tea Bar at my wedding. I had about 10 or 12 different teas from Harney & Sons. It was a big hit with all the tea drinkers

I HATE tea...that's why our wedding reception was an afternoon tea party.
I'll take a pic of our tea cupboard when I get home if I remember, although ours is also contaminated with some hot chocolate as well.
I started liking tea because in the summer during the few weeks I was with my dad, my stepmom decided we should have something special just the two of us did together as bonding. So, we had afternoon tea! I liked blackberry and she would make cute dainty treats (Victoria sponge cake is a memorable one) and we'd sit on the couch and read aloud to each other from Anne of Green Gables (also my intro to that). That's a really happy memory for me!
My current favorite tea is the Organic Stash Breakfast Blend. I had run out and couldn't find it anywhere, even their website which implied they had discontinued it! But then I found it at Ballard Market. I love it because it has lots of flavor but much less acid. I used to drink Assam but the acid got to my tummy. I drink my tea with just some original coconut creamer.
What?! that's depressing, I would have found somewhere to put it haha

Haha, I think so, too.
And, yes! That would be a ton of fun.

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
I like tea. Some bagged varieties are good, but i really prefer loose leaf. I don't like flavored teas (like gingerbread or whatever), i think b/c they often have artificial flavors (or at least taste artificial to me). My favorite is chai, which i drink with rice milk and honey. Others i/we often drink (dh doesn't drink chai) are:
german chamomile + mint
green tea
green tee + mint
green tea + jasmine (i like this when the afternoon is dragging; also good iced)
rooibos (this i do buy in bags)
white tea (i like the white tea+ orange blossom blend by republic of tea)
yerba mate (i usually cold-brew this; good in the summer)
matcha (with rice milk and honey or agave nectar)
We have others, but these are the ones i always have on hand.
