Bilirubin: The sanctioned action is to CHUG

aldantefax posted:

Someone was like �hey you should brew this tea that you�ve never brewed before also it was hella expensive but you�re good at making tea, right� and then 8 people sat at the table to drink tea

I was like, �uhhh ok� and I brewed it, Grass People Tree�s �Slow Mellow Yellow�, which is probably the most finicky category of tea by temperature, but I think I managed to brew and pour a pretty respectable cup

Then I kicked everybody out of the teahouse because it was after closing, dohohoho

Also, I have gone to said tea house enough that they asked me to volunteer, and now, I am the volunteer coordinator there and have a key, so I can come and go as I please!

slowly taking over the place I see. Seriously, congrats!

Currently really enjoying my first milk oolong, from Wiyu preserve. Incredible how much is going on in this cup of tea

I took my "away tea set" and brewed tea for a coffee shop that I started going into the past few weeks, the staff there was really into it so I think there are some new tea fans near me!

Someone asked me if they should do an OnlyFans for tea, and I was like "Uhhh, well, that could be a thing"

really loving the idea of doing a picnic but instead of taking a lunch i take a car battery, inverter, electric kettle, teapot, and tea

no cup, i will drink straight from the pot while staring at a raccoon

Share some tea with the raccoon, man

The easier way is to take a reliable thermos! But I have also considered this.

I do now have a charcoal stove that is supposed to use two different types of charcoal at once to control the heat for water and allow for slow even heating. It comes with a special kettle that has a big cone in the middle so the center heats about as fast as the other parts!

you need genuine russian samovar which you stuff with sticks or something I can't remember how they work

It's a bigass urn that you heat up and then dispense water into a kettle that is full of strong tea that you would normally put back on top of the samovar to keep warm and also strong as heck

i found a tumbler and a jar of blooming tea my mom got me like 15 years ago

i have no idea what it is beyond a hand written label that says "tiger", it sort of tastes like a mix of white tea and lotus even though it doesn't look like that

edit: and... jasmine?

Most blooming teas are jasmine infused, although I'd be surprised if you got a significant amount of flavor out of it if it's really that old

I've been drinking Unfolding Path from West China Tea. Easy to brew and work with and lasts a long time.

Finger Prince

I was going to make a cup of peach rooibos the other day, but I didn't realize the kettle wasn't plugged in, so I ended up pouring cold water on it. It steeped in the cold water for something like 5-10 minutes, but still had a surprising amount of flavour. So if you want to make a really tasty, quick iced tea, get some peach rooibos and soak it for a few minutes.

rn brewing some twinnings cinnamon raisin black tea because my partners ex from drat near five years ago left tea at his place and I don�t want it to go to waste. so hooray rando chais and cinnamon flavored teas. I want to finish off this cache so I can buy more ~~and abolish the curse forever~~

I�m also brewing some iced tea (I am an open heretic) from some jasmine which hnggg yes it�s my fave. I have a big jar with a spigot and I can�t think of the stupid name of it but I use it for iced tea and sometimes booze (not at the same time yet)

for real? does the flavor change outside of weakening? I love hibiscus tea but a ton of it at once a gives me this weird woozy felt that I wish I could take drugs for to get instead of drinking a ton of tea that makes me piss.
