Hibiscus. loose leaf. It's sour as hell and so good. I always cold brew. Somebody here put me on loose leaf a few months back and it changed the game. Bags are terrible. Always get loose leaf. I have a few samples of different stuff I ordered from The Tea Spot but I'm waiting until it's not so hot to use them. I always take my pitcher with me and the tea gets warm way too fast in the summer. I may need a big ass thermal to keep it cool like I do with my water. Carbonizing your tea with one of those machines is next level too.

The Chi
-chai
-iced/hot black/green teas depending on the weather
I used to drink Starbucks chai lattes but learned they're loaded with sugar
in winter, I'll make berry/fruit teas with mint, lemon, honey, and sometimes ginger

I like to treat my hibiscus like sorrel sometimes too and grate some ginger in with some cinnamon/allspice

Loose leaf is the way to go though.

Besides The Tea Spot I use Heavenly Tea Leaves and Harney & Sons

I use something like this to keep brewing simple:

I drink loose leaf tea. I have different ones depending on the mood I'm in. Always hot tea. We have a local vendor who sells loose leaf tea at the farmers market. They charge about $7 for 28 grams of tea. Good deal and good quality tea. I do drink a lot of Matcha Tea.
