I am working on my quest to find a tea I like so that I can have something hot to drink at work (since I don't drink coffee). So, I bought 24 random teas (one bag of each flavor) off of Republic of Tea. So far, none have gotten above a C. C is "finish the drink" so not really swinging for the fences with it. Below are the rankings.

Pumpkin Spice - F
Peppermint chocolate (w sugar and milk) - F
Caramel Vanilla (w sugar and milk) - D
Good Hope Vanilla (w honey) - F
Cinnamon Vanilla - F
Republic Chai (w sugar and milk) - C

Try Teapigs. I love their peppermint.

I got some peppermint kinds in the mix (not tried). I don't want to invest in too much in case I don't like it. Once I get done with my 24, I'll retry the ones that get a C or above with some better quality tea.

Are you new to tea? Personally, I find the artificially flavored teas are generally pretty vile. I advise you to start with tasting just plain black, green, and white tea or the popular herbal teas (if you don't care about caffeine) like rooibos and chamomile. Then branch out within that family for tea base you like.

If you're not finding a blend you like from grocery stores or big box websites, Adagio.com has loads of high quality teas to choose from. They also have a gazillion custom fandom blends, which are very fun. Really just anything you could think of so you can try something based on the flavors you like. It's loose leaf but little tea strainers are really easy and cheap to find. It's on the more expensive end but not more expensive than higher end grocery teas.

Hot tip: Make sure you're not burning the tea leaves when you make tea. Using straight boiling water will turn some teas very bitter.

I got some plain teas as well. I am heating them to whatever temperature it says to online. Once I get through with these, I plan on getting higher quality version of the ones I liked. Especially since the tea bags are only enough for like 6oz of water. :/

Maybe try hot chocolate? If you like hot chocolate. There are also all kinds of varieties out there.

I like tea, but all the ones you've listed except maybe the Chai made me wince. Personally I feel like the basics are pretty much tea at its best.

I got some basics as well. And to be fair, trying the novelty ones first.
