I am also a black tea drinker, and prefer an Irish Breakfast in the morning, but I've made a few excursions into the herbal tea world. Starbucks (or rather, Tazo) does a few that are pretty good - my father loves the Orange Spice, and I like the Passion blend, especially as iced tea.
Most green teas actually taste better with honey than with processed sugar; I usually like green tea + fruit in some way, usually a lemon or pomegranate.
You might try maple syrup (the real stuff!) as a sugar-substitute as well. M. drinks it in his coffee some mornings.
For summer drinking, I usually drink half-and-half: strong black iced tea and lemonade. You can easily get a no-sugar-added lemonade.
I wish I'd caught on faster to the process of rotating through food in storage in my cupboards, ie taught myself to look there first instead of going out to buy more food. Really concentrating on cooking with what you have instead of always falling in love with recipes that require exotic ingredients you need to buy is tough, but ultimately cheaper and more creative.
