Cold - Turkey Hill "Arnold Palmer". I cut it 50/50 with water though, otherwise it's too damn sweet.
Hot - Irish Breakfast Tea... with a bit of cream.

Earl grey and constant comment, the earl because I like it and constant comment because it strikes a chord from the younger years. It always reminds me of grammas kitchen at 5 or 6 baking something and watching the birds at feeder or on the grapevine.

Earl Grey, SG's Grousemoor reminds me of it as well. Also lapsang souchong. The smokiness pairs very well with latakia blends.

bearededmi's comments ring with me, too.
For my top teas, though:
Hot and Cold: Twining's Orange Bliss - Wonderful black tea with great orange flavor
Next up is Boston Tea Party: They are always running out of stock, but it's a spiced orange tea

A regional tea that comes in about a dozen flavors, based in Scottsdale, I get our local driver to bum bulk bags from them and brew a gallon at a time.... it is my everyday tea, the people that actually pay for it probably drink it as a treat. .. I drink it iced. It works out well, one ounce of bulk in the coffee filter into pot and add ice to make a gallon.  |

The best value for money deal I have found is Tetley Tea. I get a 240 unit bag, delivered from England via Amazon for $10.00.

Improved quality (of the bags)recently. Store brand long as seldom does one disintegrate going thru the Keurig. Otherwise, whatever brand name is cheapest. RedRose the strongest.....can't tell difference among the others. Always hot year round. One of the few who not crazy about ice tea.

Hot Green Tea - Zen My Cha from the Tea Source
Ice tea - Mix of regular generic Kroger Green and Black teas.

Tea is like your pipe tobaccos.Sometimes you like one, sometimes another. I like English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Chinese, Darjeeling, Green, and Oolong. But sometimes Tetley, or Red Rose fits the bill. Don't think that any particular one makes it all of the time.

Yorkshire Black works for me. A little milk, a little sugar, a large mug. Just the thing on a cold day.

Iced tea- been desperately trying different ones to find one that I really like, no luck yet.

Cold...it would be Arnold Palmer with the little ice bergs floating in the glass.
"Sleepy Time" Lemon Jasmine hot with a drop of clover honey for the evening.

I'm the one British guy who doesn't even like tea. So, I'd say tea spiked with bourbon. And hold the tea.

They drink the snot out of iced tea down here; my mother regularly annoys the wait staff asking for hot tea, and in most places they have no idea what they're doing 
PS I like the cold; can't stand any hot beverage, so probably wouldn't even want tea back home.

I'm not a fan of cold tea. if I'm gonna drink a cold beverage, it's usually water. sometimes a Coke. and if I'm not drinking coffee as a hot beverage, it's been tea. I'm a fan of Taylor's Scottish Breakfast, Twinnings Irish Breakfast and English Breakfast. thanks to my Aussie BIL, I've been enjoying my black teas white. Gunpowder is a favorite green tea of mine. also a fan of Oolong and Jasmine.

Rooibos. (Go google that if you're unfamiliar with it) Strong, no milk, no sweetener. Hot or cold.

Anything black will do. Love Assam, Irish Breakfast teas. Found PG Tips on that other forum and have relied on it as the house tea. Bought a bag of 1150 bags on Amazon this summer. About half gone already. Tea and pipes lubricate me through dreaded paperwork, which for my work is unfortunately abundant.

The only downside to drinking a lot of tea as far as I can tell, is that the staining ability of the tea exceeds my ability to combat it.

I like Irish Breakfast Tea and Earl Grey. I like most teas, but those two are my favorites.

About two months ago I located a Scottish Breakfast black tea that’s superb when steeped for 4 to 5 minutes. Made by Taylor’s of England. It’s a FIVE star tea. Also enjoy a strong Chinese Oolong tea👌👍👍
