I currently have these on my shelf:
Blood Orange (Herbal) - Very sweet and smooth, almost silky.
Dancong Aria (Black) - This is the best tea I've ever had in my life. Although it's just black tea leaves, it's so complex you get hints of other things in it, like grapefruit. It has a great aroma and a finish that sticks with you a while. This tea taught me to recognize flat, boring, one-note crap for what it is. I am forever spoiled.
Earl Grey Lavender (Black) - Nice and smooth, a little sweet; but the lavender is quite strong. I like to combine it with another Earl Grey.
Forest Berries (Black) - I really like this. It's great if you want something more than just plain black tea without getting too fancy.
Gunpowder (Green) - Very strong green tea. Great if you like that.
Irish Breakfast (Black) - Okay; not very strong for a breakfast blend. Fine on its own, but if you want to add sugar and milk, it doesn't hold up too well.
Jasmine Yin Hao (Green) - I love jasmine, but this will kick you in the teeth if you oversteep it.
Masala Chai (Black) - A solid, simple mix of spices, but a bit harsh for me. Not sure if it's the tea or the spices.

I also recommend the fandom blends of Cara McGee. I've tried a few of her Harry Potter and Sherlock blends, and I can't think of one I hated.
