    While I would prefer sencha (Japanese green) all the time, I usually
    treat it more like a rare dessert. Cinnamon is probably my second
    favourite, but I haven't been drinking it this past year. This year's rotation, listed in order of frequency:

    -green decaffeinated
    -roasted buckwheat
    -fennel, anise, caraway
    -hojicha, aka roasted green. One of my favourites.
    -kukicha, aka green twig tea. New to me, I dig it. Almost a sweet
    flavour. Will get more for sure.

    In the summer I also drank lots of a cold barley infusion. Another
    infusion which is kind-of sweet.

    I have been drinking dahongpao!

    More on this as it develops in the cup! Note that dahongpao also makes
    an excellent ice cream flavouring.
