Both black and green tea (and all "real" teas) actually are the same plant; what differs between them is the processing and level of oxidation as well as other flavouring agents.
What i'd probably consider my favourite tea is
It is remarkably versatile, it can be great unsweetened or with milk and sugar and in almost all ways i have tried. I gave shane a box for christmas and he dug it too.
look out! Ninjas!:
I like peppermint tea, strong and left to cool for a little while.
Also, Chinese tea is absolutely tops.

I'm just picturing this French guy running over to some guys and loudly exclaiming, "No, no, you're blending it wrong!"

A friend of mine used to drink cherry tea. Mainly because he liked to dunk his paprika flavoured crisps in it.

Something I've discovered: most people have never had a decent cup of tea in their lives! U know I hadn't! Most people make do with these tea bags and crap like that that pretty much ruins the subtle flavors in tea! That's why my family has gotten really hooked on Adagio Teas. What's great about them is that they offer reasonable prices - it costs 9 bucks for their cheapest pot, 19 for their super-nice one-serving InginuiTEA pot, which includes a sampler kit, and makes the best single cup of tea I have found, no more excuses for using bags!
It'll also show you how poorly you've been preparing your tea before, did you know that green and white teas should be prepared at 180 degrees, and not boiling? I sure didn't!
I have really been hooked on their Dragonwell green tea for a while.
