Answers: I drink a lot of different kinds of tea, but one of my favorites is actually premade and in a bottle lol. It's Tazo's bottled green tea that is sold at Starbucks. What makes it so great is that it has a touch (just a touch) of spearmint and lemon in it, making it the most refreshing drink for me!
I think Tazo and Stash are the best bagged teas out there.
Try Argo Tea Cafe if you live in the Chicago area! Think Starbucks, but with tea!
Teavana is an amazing store in malls that sells loose tea, accessories, custom brewed tea, etc. Anything you can think of is there. Source(s):

But i've really no idea if it's available in the US....it is in England! (come over here and bring a load back with you!) Vitamin water or Lipton for tea. lipton tea ,,yes sell it here I like Luzianne and Lipton's Green Tea Not sure. I think they prefer coffee and large Mcdonalds I have many 'favorite' teas, depending on the time of day, what I am doing, and the temperature. My husband and I both drink iced Earl Grey with Double Bergamot when it's warm out. I like any of the teas with 'sleepy' in their names and really love those that tastes of lavender. I also like one that may be available only in our city ... Post Alley Cappucino. It's actually a 'rooibos' tea that tastes like a cappucino, with NO MILK added. That's one of my best 'afternoon treats.' I like 'rooibos' (African for red bush I believe) tea. I get it over here in Europe so I don't know if you can get it over in the US. Other teas I often drink with milk but this is an exception along with chamomile tea. as a good english girl and a tea lover, my favourite brand is Twinings. their English Breakfast is a nice all-rounder, not too highly flavoured. Earl Grey is lovely (flavoured wth bergamot), but some people think its too perfumey. I prefer it when its not too milky.
Whittards Afternoon Tea is also really nice.
im afraid ive no idea if you can get them in the states.
(if youre experimenting, id advise you dont bother with lapsang souchong. it tastes like smoke, and thats about it!) Stash tea is the best bagged tea. Check out their website and you can get "samples" for a really good price. They also sell in grocery stores. Their Chai is superb! TAZO. many flavors available most places.. I make the best tea in Ohio. I used distilled water. One tea bag of Constant Comment ( on the grocery shelves) and 2 small scoops of black tea in a Mr. Coffee. Hot or cold it's the best. I do think using distilled water is the trick. I love tea too!

PG Tips
Dilmah
the first two are english (lke me!) the third is Indian I really like strong tea but if I want a gentle one I choose Earl Grey nice light taste
Im in Australia so I dont know if you can get any of the above in the USA
I know that I can get them here tho!! I prefer to buy loose tea at a tea shop.
Most of the time whats-in-the-pot though is from Bigelow Tea Co
Either Earl Grey or Constant Comment.
From the supermarket... Try to mix your own tea powder. Buy some different kinds of tea and mix them according your taste.
Earl Grey is a bergamot flavored tea and very tasty to use for mixtures.
Did you ever try to drink your tea with milk? I tastes great. LIPTON Darjeeling Iced Tea Recipe:
