This. Green tea or a mix of green and black also works and I use a mix of black and earl grey sometimes too.

Agreed. For the classic American beverage orange pekoe is the standard.

orange pekoe describes the quality of the tea leaf

Earl Grey. it doesn't even need sugar, good on it's own iced. It is my preferred beverage of choice.

Nope, it's a grade of tea leaves.
Generally, the smaller the tea leaf, the lighter and more delicate the flavor. The orange in Orange Pekoe came from the House of Oranje, aka the Dutch Royal Family, who oversaw the Dutch East India Company, who first brought this grade of tea to Europe.

Like that doesn't cover over a dozen different teas (Ceylon, Assam, Darjeeling, etc)

I'm personally partial to Keemun or sometimes the Assam/Ceylon mixes that you'll find in English or Irish Breakfast teas. I also like them better hot. Darjeeling is pretty good. Oolong is not a black tea but is very tasty iced.

East frisian tea (Ostfriesentee/Ostfriesenmischung).
Really strong and smokey flavor, high amounts of caffeine.
Accept no substitutes.
