Newbie to tea: recommendations by flavor profile and habits

Question/Help

hi everyone! just like the title says, i am trying to get into tea. i used to be a coffee drinker but i don’t have the space and i don’t drink it as often anymore. i am more of an iced tea drinker but there’s nothing i can’t add ice to. (unsure if i should look for another beverage?) i liked the routine of making coffee but want to switch to another beverage.

i’m trying to limit my soda intake also. i mostly have ginger ale and sugar free/low sugar. but i’ve been enjoying iced tea more since it feel more refreshing and i’ve been turning to it more.

favorite flavors: lemon, orange, raspberry, black tea

about me:

- previously a barnes & noble and starbucks employee! i know it isn’t… a tea shop but i usually leaned toward iced tea lemonades and refreshers.

- low caffeine preferred but open to others. i can dilute it with lemonade or water. i have anxiety and adhd so caffeine is weird in my system.

- very much into citrus but can’t have grapefruit due to medication.

thank you so much for reading! :D
