Lady Grey
Earl Grey is bold. When he wants your attention he grabs you by the chin and shouts.
Lady Grey is more refined. A gentle caress of the cheek, impossible to ignore but much more pleasant.
In truth, I enjoy both but there are times when the Lady Grey tea is the only one I want. It's simultaneously punchier and more refined than regular Earl Grey, and always worth a try!

ORANGE GINGER MINT HERBAL FULL-LEAF
This one! This is the one you want! Of all the ginger teas in my life, this is my favorite!
It has a wonderfully spicy scent when brewed, and the flavors hit you in waves. The warmth of the ginger starts fast and sticks around, ameliorated a bit by the spicy coolness of the mint. The orange is subtle and peeks through here and there but the natural sweetness of the bergamot mint twists it all together into a strong rope of smell and taste that you'll never want to escape from.
A remarkably pleasant after meal tea, the ginger and mint are good as a dessert, and it has a...mouth feel? Almost like you've eaten something.
Nice to keep on hand for sick days as well, as the ginger/mint combo is soothing on a sore throat and sovereign for stomach complaints.

EARL GREY
Pretty standard as Earl Grey teas go, but there's nothing wrong with a classic! It has the convenience of bags, and they're single wrapped so they pack well for tea on the go. My tastes say it's best with a bit of cream and sugar, but for a nice twist, add some vanilla coffee creamer instead. Gives it an Earl Grey Creme taste which is quite pleasant

GINGER SNAPPISH HERBAL TEA BAGS
A drinkable tea, and it does taste of the holidays. Not my favorite gingery tea, as I prefer the ginger to bum rush me and smack me to the ground, but it does have a nice bit of spice, and I usually keep a box or two in the cupboard for when the mood hits

Fireside Vanilla Spice
Tastes warm, vaguely smoky, and sweet. The first time I drank it I really did feel like I was curled up next to a fireplace on a cold winter's night, wrapped up in a blanket and sipping a cup of tea to the pleasant backdrop of crackles and pops from the fire as the snow falls outside.

Tension Tamer
This tea has one of those flavors which isn't good, isn't bad, but is distinct. Whether you wind up loving it or not I'd say you'll generally wind up finding it palatable. The Siberian ginseng in it is great for quieting the mind. As an example of what that means: you know those nights where you lie awake because your brain has decided that now is a good time to try and remember all the shows/movies that one actor was in, or to make a ranked list of the weirdest trees you've seen... This literally quiets the mind so you don't pop back awake from the 90% out mark thinking 'but that half dead maple tree in my neighbors yard when I was a kid, weird or just creepy?'. I love that it lets me sleep with no 'hangover' like OTC sleep aids, and recommend it for any other ADD/ADHD adults who have trouble sleeping.

CONSTANT COMMENT BLACK TEA BAGS
My mom used to make this for me when I was 4. I sit here now at nearly 40 with boxes of it in the cupboard now. Sweet in and of itself, and smooth enough that I feel no need to add milk. A good black tea for people who don't like black tea!
