@mazingerz88:
Iced: I prefer black tea and any fruity green tea to be cold (a lemon wedge in the black tea). Then there’s sun tea, which is a pitcher of water and black tea set out in the sun to steep, and is always iced.
Hot: I prefer green teas hot only because I prefer hot drinks (excluding fruity flavors)—if it’s too hot out, I’ll have them iced. I’ve only had white teas hot, never iced. Same with Earl Grey.
Here’s a breakdown of teas by type. I’ve basically only ever tried green, white, and black. The descriptions they gave for the types I know seemed pretty accurate to me, so it might be useful for you to try and pick what you want to try, or maybe you already know this, not sure. Within each type of tea are many varieties, and I’m not good at keeping track of them even for myself, so I’m not much help there, though I do enjoy trying new varieties when I go to coffee shops or restaurants with tea options.
Teas I have stocked at home right now: two jasmine green teas (one is just typical loose leaf that I put into a loose leaf tea bag, with the other, the leaves are rolled into pearls that bloom in the bottom of the mug), gunpowder green tea, and a green tea I found at a local tea shop with eucalyptus and safflower petals in it.
