Me too LM, I tried to come off coffee so bought a load assorted flavoured tea,even the expensive loose leaf ones,didn't like ANY of them 

[CLKD]

Nor me.  They went into our compost ;-)

My daughter ONLY drinks herbal teas, loves them. Funny how taste varies.

I love elderflower sparkling. It’s light and refreshing but a bit pricey for the Belvoir one. Also like apple juice. Otherwise it’s water. I am not fond of herbal teas , I have them in the afternoon at work but manage a couple of sips only.
I love coffee bu now stick to 2 cups max in the morning.

[jaypo]

Oh that's me too,limit myself to two cups a day and NEVER after 3.30pm

I think fruit or peppermint teas are an acquired taste. I can’t drink coffee and have always loathed normal tea. I used to drink loads of coffee, but found it gave me stomach ache. I love the smell of coffee though. I had to find something to drink other than water. I persevered with them. Can’t stand camomile tea or blackcurrant tea though. The latter smells like cat pee!

We now drink Chai tea bought loose from a west country merchant and brewed in a pot.  Warm the pot, stir and leave for 4 mins to brew then pour.  Can't be doing with brewing in a mug ! Leaves go on the garden or in the food bin.  I have it with oat milk OH usual milk. I still buy loose black tea for OH but very rarely drink it now.  Chai tea spices are meant to have health benefits.

It's green tea my daughter drinks by the gallon,eeuuwwww how COULD she 🤢

[C.C.]

I make a green tea in my travel mug every morning for work , I add a bit of honey for some sweetness...yum!
I also enjoy decaf Earl Grey and lemon ginger tea. I'm off orange pekoe for some reason.

[CLKD]

I bypass decaffeinated 

4 mins makes a too heavy brew for me, too much tannin.  MayB jaypo your daughter hasn't any taste buds.   

Tea leaves go into the compost or around the heather plants, camellias or bilberry pots.

I love normal everyday tea...I tried drinking coffee and like the smell but can only tolerate it every now and again. I used to love a glass of rose with my main meal but I've gone off it and tend to drink tea in the evening as well now.

Not a big fan of the herbals apart from Fennel strangely enough (nice if you like aniseed). Some fruit teas are nice - Twinings Peach and Orange, also Triple Ginger (with lemon it reminds me of Lemsip) but I agree that most smell better than they taste  What about Roobois? You can get some gently flavoured ones of those?

Can you drink milk, either dairy or non-dairy? If you like a milkshake you could try adding some of the flavoured coffee syrups (hazelnut or caramel are my favourites) to a glass. Or to a hot chocolate.... just to give a bit of variety.

We bought an Aarke water carbonator and my OH drinks lots of fizzy water added to squash/cordial. If I'm out I'll drink a bitter lemon or something like that, but Elderflower cordial or the Belvoir/Bottlegreen brands do some nice varieties.

[CLKD]

Tnx.  I've got a Belvoir with ginger which I added bottled water to.  Quite tasty, DH worked out the 1:10 dilution. 

Tea is OK - the 1st two cuppas after which it goes 'off'.   

I can't drink milk unless completely cold, shakes gives I wind they does

I used to like Ribena with sparkling water. Now only drink it if I'm wearing purple
