I find with green tea, different brands can be VERY bitter almost to the point that I don't want to drink it.
It's not bitter at all, to be honest. It's a very soothing taste that's really hard to notice, actually. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone.
And yes, certain green tea brands are too strong. :/

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
Also enjoy English Breakfast and Darjeeling, but Darjeeling is a bitch to find around here.
And none of this sugar and milk crap.

White tea is REALLY subtle. If anyone ever criticises is it's always that it is too weak on taste. Personally I love the stuff.
My standard tea-bag tea that i drink the most of is Dilmah extra strong. It's a decent 100% Ceylon tea with a nice round flavour... not bad for an of-the supermarket shelf teabag.
At many cafes, apart from the herbal stuff they only have english breakfast and earl grey. Most off-the shelf english breakfast teas are horrible without milk, so i tend to go for earl grey.
Other than that i Have a bunch of different greens and oolongs at home that i like. At the moment I'm also drinking a lot of the Japanese tea with puffed rice (gemmaicha?).

Milk = for teh lose
