Tea drinkers - Which varieties do you drink?

Just regular... Though I think I used to drink some Raspberry flavor tea.
Loads of sugar in, perhaps a slice of lemon depending on my mood, and done :).
Really don't like tea without sugar, in all the coffee/tea machines I have to select the maximum amount of sugar and it's still less then I want.
 
I used to drink Twinnings but then they moved their factories and jobs to Poland so I stopped buying them.

I'm quite happy with Yorkshire Gold at the minute.
 
Pu-erh - any make/label. Otherwise Lipton Yellow Label mixed with one of the Lipton fruit varieties - red fruit, carribean or ginger & lemon.
 
I don't really care what kind of tea it is or whether I have milk in it or not, I'll drink it anyway. If it's weak tea I need to put about 3 or 4 teabags in. I drink about 8 huge cups a day so my cupboard is normally stocked with whatever is on offer at the supermarket!

Has anyone tried Russian Caravan?

An ex-flatmate was really into her teas and had a box of that, I just can't really imagine what it tastes of - is Russian Caravan simply a euphemism for "whatever we scrape up off the floor after a shift goes into this"?

Ceylon is my current tea of choice but I'm quite partial to Assam as well and on occasion Irish Breakfast tea.
 
I think it comes from how it was transported from China ie through Russia in caravans (not the ***** type :))
 
Not sure you can beat the good ol' PG Tips Pyramid bags for the 'total cuppa'. However, I do also like Assam - it has a nice flavour. Not into all the 'la-dee-da' blends. I mean, raspberry etc.? Come on!
 
After drinking lots of varieties I find 'normal' PG to be a bit too bitter at times.

I find Darjeeling to be a lovely brew for a relaxing afternoon
