@Shark:
Chamomile is the mildest to pop in my head for a recommendation in my opinion.

@Vegan: I have some chamomile but the licorice flavor is so strong for bedtime :(

A blend? Time to get regular. I can't stand licorice. xD;

@Vegan: Yeah maybe regular is better? I like licorice, it just... the flavor stays in my mouth for so long

Fair, fair. I drink Rooibos at times I want the flavor of darker type teas which usually contain caffeine.
(* Taste is similar to cinnamon, woody, sweet..ish? It's unique ).

There is cinnamon rooibos out there which you may enjoy! Reminds me of Christmas.
( Found it a few years ago when meeting my husband's grandma who just passed ).

Indeed, indeed. I love Celestial Seasonings tea as it's something I loved a lot growing up.

There is one flavor called Candy Cane Lane I LOVED a lot.
It's also got a hint of vanilla, but, it's more like a liquid candy cane (to me).

After looking up ingredients? It all makes sense.

Bold what I tasted more
Italics for what I haven't tried before
Underline for what I could barely taste
and Scratch Off what I didn't notice at all.

Peppermint, Decaffeinated Green Tea, Orange Peel, Natural Mint Flavor with other Natural Flavors,
Cinnamon, Milk Thistle, Blackberry Leaves, Roasted Carob, Roasted Chicory and Vanilla Bean

It's the holidays! See if you can find it. Another they have is Sugar Plum Spice and Gingerbread Spice which I love.
The Sweet Harvest Pumpkin hated my stomach, I feel it was too pumpkin forward. (Not a bad thing in other instances).

One of my favorite tea companies, before I moved to the Netherlands, was Tazo, they followed me on my stream Twitter years ago.
But, a lot of their tea has caffeine if you cannot have caffeine, but! I do suggest their 'Calm' aka Chamomile.

It's a beautiful blend of:
Chamomile flowers, hibiscus flowers, spearmint leaves, rose petals, lemongrass, blackberry leaves, peppermint leaves, sarsaparilla root, lemon balm leaf, licorice root (which, as you know, I am not a fan of licorice, but, I couldn't taste it to be honest).

It also has turmeric and riboflavin for coloring which obviously do not impact the flavor at all.

I drink so much tea, yet, not enough. My favorite brands for bagged tea:
Celestial Seasonings (depends on flavors), Yogi Tea (depends on flavors), Twinings, and Tazo.

My favorite cup of bag tea though is ''Perfect Peach' by Bigelow. Their slogan says,
"Just like a freshly baked peach pie but in a cup." and while I've never had peach pie? I'd presume it's like that.

Ingredients (follow other chart to see what I tasted most):

Rose Hips, Hibiscus, Peaches, Natural & Artificial Peach Flavor, Spices,
Orange Peel, Lemon Peel, Apples, Strawberry Leaves & Roasted Chicory.

(My chart again for your convenience):

Bold what I tasted more
Italics for what I haven't tried before
Underline for what I could barely taste
and Scratch Off what I didn't notice at all.

@Vegan: You certainly know your stuff. o: I don't drink enough tea to go all out on it. I'll try something new very rarely. xD;

I feel that, if I like something, I often stick to it, tea though? I like finding new ones I like.
For example, a store here in the Netherlands sells a lot of loose leaf teas. Found an Irish Breakfast I LOVE!

That's fair. :3 Love french pressed coffee, but, I usually have no patience for it. D:

@Vegan: I haven't had any fancy coffee since I don't like it black, so just a bunch of different flavors. lol.


@Kory: yeah most likely not. Unless they got used to it.

@Shark:
Yep, I love fancy coffee too, only two coffees have I found I like black that aren't too acidic.
(Favorite drink order: Iced (or hot) Vanilla soy/oat latte with extra vanilla syrup).
@Kory:
Bunnies are so precious. ;__; I love all small animals... in fact, I love all animals. D: (Obvious).
