red and green equally but dependent on mood and caffeine desired, then
oolong, sencha, matcha, white/yellow together, and the occasional
puerhs of either green or black.

Assam plus Keemun for reds; various for others

This is a revolving and fickle process for me.

Relative freshness, and proper water heat and steeping are almost more
important to me than the particular type of tea. I keep fewer teas on
hand than I once did, to move through them faster and keep a fresher
assortment. I am interested in trying more organic teas, but have not
ruled out the sprayed norm.
