Damn, someone beat me to it.WaReloaded said:
Well, Early Gray for hot teas, but being a good southern woman, I do love sweet tea. That's what I usually drink during the day. Also, Christmas Tea smells delicious, like the holidays, but I find that the actual flavor is kind of disappointing.
It's a little hard to pick one favorite tea, though I can say I've never really enjoyed traditionally prepared and served teas outside of oolong with a Chinese meal.
That said, what I drink most often is a fragrant black tea simply called Cha Thai [http://grocerythai.com/images/71022.jpg]... mostly because it's incredibly inexpensive at the only Asian market within easy bicycling distance of my house (which is in the middle of nowhere).
I also keep a stock of bulk oolong, cape town rooibos, bulk gunpowder green, and a particular Christmas tea (mostly made of berries and other fruit) I grew fond of when living in Germany.
...also, can't stand tea with sweeteners in 'em. I take my tea plain and my coffee black.

I'm partial to chaï. If it's not available, oolong. But really, any tea is good if made properly.
As just a regular drinking tea, <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooibos>Rooibos Tea with just a little milk and sugar (it's already a sweet tea, doesn't need much sugar) is my favourite. Absolutely no caffeine (as opposed to every other tea out there, including green and white teas), but is better for you than most white teas (which are generally better for you than most green teas). Oh, yeah, and it's red. Red. Something about that is just cool to me. ^_^
As for other hot drinks, it varies between White Jasmine Tea and <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_%28beverage%29>Mate (also very good for you, and Mate has a good kick of caffeine after your third or fourth refill. By the end of the 15th or so, well... let's just say it's become my favourite late-night study drink, replacing coffee).
Even though my favourite is Rooibos, I generally swap between Rooibos, Mate and White Jasmine just as often as one another.
While at someone elses house though, I can't say no to a regular black tea with just a bit of milk and 2 sugars.
Yeah... I may or may not be a bit of a tea nut. Even with all the added useless information in brackets above, that was actually me holding back.

I'll usually drink any kind of tea. Green, Black, Chamomile, Orange Pekoe, etc. Unwseetened.
