There are many teas I love, so I can't really choose a favorite, but high among them is Good Earth Original tea, which is spicy, sweet, and has a lot of cinnamon in it, in addition to ginger, anise, papaya, lemongrass and clove. I know that sounds weird, but it's weirdly delicious. It smells very wintery, though I like it at any time of year. There was a Good Earth restaurant where I went to college, and my then best friend and I would eat breakfast there often. I have fond memories of the hideous, circa 1968 tapestry they had hanging on the wall there, the sunlight coming through the slats of the wooden blinds, and our good talks. They sold bags of the loose tea there, but I haven't seen it loose for a long time.
I always wished the tea was organic, but it wasn't. Now it is! Skimming the shelves at the grocery store, the beige and brown packaging of the new organic version is completely forgettable, especially since the original is packaged in rather loud yellow boxes with a blue stripe on them. You can't miss it. Keep your eyes peeled for the organic version; it's too easy to miss.

I don't like Good Earth tea myself, but I LOVE the smell of it. Several of my coworkers drink it and I like being in its olfactory proximity. Good stuff.
Always a must for the tea cabinet for me! Love it.
