    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.

    No drinks for me, but the rotation you've got seems to be centered around comforting roasted, lower caffeine teas, mainly hojicha, soba, and kukicha, with some herbal digestifs on the side.

    I have been drinking teas from Burma!

    https://www.panix.com/~kludge/burmese-tea

    They are all wild-grown and all very different than trad Chinese and
    Indian teas.
