The tea realm is virtually limitless. There are many types of true teas: black, green, white and their subcategories. Then there are flavored teas such as earl grey or Jasmine Green and a myriad of herbal teas.
Currently I am working through a box of Oolong black tea. I also keep 2 pitchers of "Iced tea. One caffeinated. one decaffeinated. I usually brew 3 tea bags of either black or green tea and add a third for extra flavoring such as peppermint tea or mint tea. I have learned to drink all teas without sweeteners and enjoy the taste for what it is. At night I love to finish my day with a warm cup of Chamomile tea.
I find that Asian stores carry a variety of great teas at 1/3 or 1/2 the price of American supermarkets.
I think teas are wonderful, and the variety is endless. I do however think that watered down juices are a great option, so long as they are watered down enough. I tent to go for about a 20 parts water to 1 part juice ratio. This works particularly well with tarts juices such as cherry or cranberry. And it's almost like an herbal infusion itself :)
