Hi Cinnamon77, welcome to our TeaFellowship. I hope you stick around and share many cups with us on TeaDay

I am not drinking flavored teas these days. I am sure someone will chime in. Just wanted to say HI!

Welcome!
Adagio's Black flavored sampler
is probably a good place to start.

Welcome to the forum!

You are starting your journey here much as I did back in May of this year... time will tell where the journey takes you.

I came to Adagio and Teachat mostly drinking flavored blacks. In the course of 3 months, I am now drinking almost exclusively oolongs... mostly UNflavored, and oddly enough for me, mostly also unsweetened. I still love my blacks and flavored blacks, and have acquired an appreciation for really good greens thanks to Chip's badgering. But I adore my oolongs, favoring the greener ones the most. I've also started paying much more attention to time and temperature, bought 3 yixing pots, and have been doing some semi gong-fu brewing... all new to me since coming here.

Good luck on your exploration... if you enjoy tea, you will love Teachat.

***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***

If flavored teas is your thing you can also get high grade flavoured teas.
Jasmine Pearls is a personal favorite of mine, and as the name suggests is jasmine flavored tea.

My first love affair with tea consisted of 3 bags of lemon flavoured black tea combined with 3 teaspoons of sugar. That stuff was like crack. I would probably still drink it occasionally if sugar wasn't bad for you.

Badger? Tea? You must be thinking of this:

As someone who loves both badgers and tea, I would readily drink any tea recommended to me by a badger!

Welcome! I would recommend Jasmine Pearls, something with osmanthus, flavoured rooibos. But I'm not that into flavoured. There's a special part of the forum with flavoured stuff, try reading through posts there. With Signature Blends and stuff there seem to be a lot to choose from!
