I've tried most of Bigelow's flavored teas and generally find them inoffensive enough to finish the box, but I think Earl Grey and Constant Comment are the only ones I've ever bought again.
Right now it's some Kericho Gold tea from Kenya that I picked up at an Indian market in Grand Rapids last weekend. It's machine produced (CTC), so I'm sure it loses a lot of subtlety of flavor, but I like it. It has a sharp, hoppy bitterness, that fades almost immediately to mellow malt.
The shop I got it from is almost certainly selling gray market imports. I only paid $6 for the 500g box, but the cheapest I can find it online is $20.
