I use tea leaves, not bags, because it has better flavor.

My DD bought TAZO tea from where she works. She gave me a tin of Awake which is black tea and it is deliously. It comes as tea bags but the bag feels silky not papery. I have also tried some other flavors but I like this best. Yes it is expensive, but it was a great gift, one I hope she will repeat in the future.

My favorite black tea is Twinings Prince of Wales. It is ridiculously smooth, almost like drinking velvet. I consider myself somewhat of a tea connoisseur as I have a terrific job and get to travel the world. I found this one in Rome. It can be purchased at Whole Foods in the states. For loose teas, I prefer the China or Russian Caravans. Enjoy!

My all time favorite tea is Good Earth Decaf Green Tea-Lemongrass flavor. My next is another by Good Earth called Sweet & Spicy Herb tea. It tastes like the original Dentyne gum and is incredible as iced tea. The only problem is that they changed the formula and the name and it's now Sweet and Spicy Red Tea and I promise you it tastes like a combination of bug spray and fertilizer. Nasty! Sure wish I could find the original Sweet and Spicy Herb tea. Then I've discovered Twinings Black Currant, Ginseng and Vanilla. Very good, hot or iced. I really, really love tea.

I am a devout tea drinker. I like "Charleston Tea. It is the only tea plantation in the US. Bigelow bought them out. Go to Bigelow.com and look for Charleston Plantation Tea. It does not have the after bite that most teas have. I buy it by the case, which is 6 boxes of 48. You can buy smaller amounts.

I was always a coffee gal until recently when I need to not drink as much. I have found (I know you said not flavored) Lipton Green tea with Citrus and Passionfruit a beautiful, aromatic and flavorful tea. I wonder if the green tea is also helping to improve my energy level. Anyway, give it a try, you might like it. I think it would taste good iced.
