I always drink green tea. But I want something different. I tried to put milk on my tea, and it tasted good. Can you recommend aside from milk, or green tea?

I like Earl Grey or Constant Comment a lot and always use a little milk. Almost any tea is good if you use BOILING water to make it. In American restaurants they give you a cup of tepid water and a teabag on the side, and it's utterly impossible to get decent-tasting tea that way. Chai (as made in many Indian restaurants or with Celestial seasonings tea bags) is really good, too. Personally I don't like sweetened tea, but a little fruitiness is nice - I found a peach/apricot tea that I make fairly often. Sometimes I'll make a pot of tea with one flavored tea bag and two plain and just let it sit on the pilot light on my stove to keep warm until I can finish it. That's when milk comes in handy - it takes away the bitter taste that tea gets when it's stewed too long!

I'm such an Celestial Seasonings whore. I love almost all their teas.
I really like their honey-vanilla-chamomile tea. It's awesome. Has a nice, smooth, sweet, but not too sweet, flavor. It really goes well with toast & jam :)
I drink it hot & lightly sweetened.
Also, since you're already into the green tea, for a nice refreshing change, try their Mint Green Tea. Brew it, add some sugar & drink it as iced tea. It's really refreshing in the summer or after a work out :)
Enjoy.

PG Tips is the best kind or "English Breakfast".... Orange Pekoe is good too. I don't like milk or sugar in my tea, and it's better for you to drink it plain. Try dipping some arrowroot biscuits in it for a treat, or ginger snaps=) Oh, I also enjoy chamomile every now and then before bed, it's very relaxing and has a wonderful smell and flavour.
PS - if you want something REALLY different, try getting yourself some yerba mate tea. This form of tea is very popular in Argentina/South America and it's drank from a gourd with a metal straw. The tea itself has a nice subtle smoky flavour. But I would get used to the taste of other teas first before you try something this strong;-) A famous drinker of this tea is the actor Viggo Mortensen.

White tea. Is getting popular it contains more anti oxidants that green and the leaves are silver. I had to purchase mine on eBay as I couldn't find it in store except for snapple which I won't drink.

Cardamoms. Cinnamon. Honey. They taste good with green tea.
If your experimental, add some dried lavender buds. It's awesome!
