Any Hot Tea drinkers here?

As a "lucky to live, where I live" person - I am fortunate enough to have several loose-tea shops from which to choose. Found of, as I am, of several blends, my favorite would have to be the little balls of green tea that are rolled in jasmine. Drinking a cup of this jasmine green tea is, almost, as relaxing as smoking a pipe with a healthy bit of vitamin N. Unfortunately, I haven't found a tobacco that goes well with the tea. Closest I've come is FMC, but there is a little flavor conflict in the back end that ruins it for me.
Fortunately, I have plenty of strong black teas to accompany me on a good pipe, including my all time favorites Earl Grey and Irish Breakfast.

I enjoy malty teas with my pipe and in the mornings. I try not to drink tea grown in China due to the pollution causing higher levels of toxins in the final product, even organically grown tea suffers from this. However lapsang souchong is a guilty pleasure of mine especially with a medium to mild English pipe blend. I encourage every tea drinker to do some research on what is in your tea, you will find that you have to be a bit more carefully with the water you use as tea has a high level of fluoride in it and tap water only adds more.

I have been drinking tea for years. I use a lot of Dragonwater Herbal teas, Hibiscus plain, mint and lemon. Also a few od the Teavana blends depending on my mood. I am now trying to pair them whir different pipe blends. This is so much fun.

Found this today and it reminded me of this thread, likely because I don't get to discuss tea much anymore. This is from an old apartment that we got stuck with after an unexpected move. I believe there is pu-erh in the pot and the remains in the back are Baozhong, Tun Ting and Dong Pian if I remember correctly. I really miss making tea for people, sometimes.

Tea is just like tobacco, all about preference and relaxation.
Used to work in a tea house/coffee shop, my dad's actually. It's spoiled me for teas... I always have to have a tin of a good blend.

Black, green and herbal. And it all goes well with pipes.
