aldantefax posted:Thanks! I'm debating what to do with the worn down portions of the table - refinishing seems beyond what I might be capable of (or rather how much energy I'm willing to expend on supplies right now), but I have some spare Sugru lying around so I could mold bumpers over the damaged parts that could blend in and also protect the areas from moisture. You could try buffing some shoe polish into it, but it looks like it's worn instead of scratched so it probably won't work unless you rough it up and then you're getting towards refinishing and it's just not worth it. @Thoht That's one of my favorite Darjeelings year after year. I'd buy it in bulk if my wife wouldn't make me sleep with it in the garage if I don't drink up the rest of my tea first. Chamomile is a grass. It's why it tastes like grass. I can't be around it because it makes my allergies go WTF and it feels like my head got kicked for the rest of the day. I'm a fan of Hibiscus by itself. It has a sort of acidic/sour taste that's pretty awesome.

DurianGray posted:So getting back to tea, I bought this stuff called just "1776 Blend" from a tea vendor at a festival a while back and love it but of course the vendor doesn't seem to sell it on their website. Did you try calling or emailing the vendor you first got it from? They may be able to sell it over the phone or at least tell you where you can find it. My experience with small vendors is usually pretty good when you're asking to give them money.

I'm looking for some new Long Jing (Dragonwell) and want to see what else I can get out of that particular style. Anyone have any that they've really liked in the past? I'm not looking to spend $10/1oz or anything super pricey, but I would like something that's got some good leaves. Edit: Never mind, I found some at teavivre.com that suits my needs. It'll just take a month to get here. Jhet fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Apr 15, 2016 |

Astrotrain posted:If you're in a country that has epost, consider paying a bit more for epost shipping from teavivre. I get orders via Canadapost epost from teavivre in under a week. It's only like 7 dollars too. Is that the USPS international option? I'd never seen that before and I didn't end up paying for shipping. It helps when I'm not in a rush. I'm finishing off some High Mountain Green from Taiwan and a few ounces of Chun Mee which is also pretty good. I also have a couple of cubes of Hei Cha that are tasting really good right now. I think it's because it's getting warmer and I have less interest in drinking a cup of hot black tea right now.

Between 2 people we can go through 2-4qts of iced tea a day in the summer. Black, green, sweetened or not, it's yummy and refreshing on a hot day. I can drink hot tea 3-4 times on multiple infusions and I do about 1.5 cups at a time. Without multiple infusions it's maybe twice in a day. I doubt that you can ingest enough oxalic acid in a day or week from drinking tea to really make a large negative impact on your body. Not to mention it'll get passed fairly quickly with all the excreting you'd be doing from drinking so much tea. Considering that many people have been drinking such a very large amount of tea for so very long, I strongly doubt that it'll be a problem. I've known people in the south who drink 4qts a day by themselves. Oxalates are the least of their health concerns.

My octogenarian neighbor made real southern sweet tea, but it was wonderful and not those cheap bags and she didn't over-sweeten either. Sometimes we even got mint. It was wonderful. Also, everyone's grandmother apparently does it differently.

Crunkjuice posted:I use a travel mug for tea at work since i don't have the time/space to properly do loose leaf tea. I went into teavana today just to check it out (super new to tea btw) and they showed me their contour travel mugs with infusers in them. Thermos makes this guy for 28 http://www.amazon.com/Thermos-Insulated-Stainless-Tumbler-Infuser/dp/B00JTUUOW6/ref=dp_ob_title_kitchen . Are there any other recommendations for these types of bottles? The teavana one looks good, but its 32 bucks and some of the reviews aren't super favorable for its durability. Get the thermos one. I've never been disappointed by thermos, but I do exactly what that one does, but my system is cobbled together and I have to wait before screwing it on and going. I have a much larger thermos that I use for tea and it's been amazing. It will also keep your beverage warm for a fair bit of time. Every other to-go mug I have ever used keeps things drinkable for an hour or two. My thermos kept it within 5 degrees of temp for 2 days once. This one will not do that, but it will keep it hot for a much longer amount of time.

For whatever reason, I decided to weigh my tea today instead of grandpa methoding it and now I remember why you're supposed to measure it. It's either that or this Ceylon Black is really just resonating with my palate today. Also, teavivre needs to have fewer sales, because I can't drink as much tea as I want to buy.

neogeo0823 posted:Currently, I make iced tea in bulk using these paper filter bag things, but they always open up midway through steeping and I end up having to filter all the leaves out. My wife mentioned wanting to get me one of these tea makers for my birthday. Does anyone know anything about them? Teavana has these in a gift pack with some sugar and a tea tin for $35, which seem OK given that that thing's $30 on it's own. However, I see reviews saying the seals leak. I found a similar one from Adagio that has much better reviews, but it's the same price as the Teavana one and listed as 28 oz instead of the 32 oz. Does anyone have any opinions on these? Or maybe a better recommendation? Can't you just tie the paper bags shut with cooking string? It works for me. I have the Adagio one and it's very nice. It's easy to clean and everything comes apart easily enough where I wasn't concerned about breaking things. I'd go with the Adagio one just for that reason. I've never had it leak on me, and I pull it apart frequently after using it. So long as you keep the rubber gasket happy, it won't leak. I would have thought you could find replacement gaskets, but I can't find them on Adagio's website. I've had mine for a couple years and it's still great after regular use. I avoid teavana like it's carrying the plague because of all their excess baggage in claiming health benefits, blending so much of their tea, and selling what I've found to be inferior product. That teapot might be fine, but I'd rather go with Adagio anyway.

Trabant posted:Hello tea people. I have a preparation question that had no mention in the OP or last few pages: do you have a go-to way of making tea lattes? Internet points to two approaches: (1) brew a strong cup (twice the tea in half the water) and add steamed milk, or (2) brew directly in milk+water combination (in a saucepan?) and strain. I would brew stronger, and vary the amount of tea I'm starting with based on the amount of liquid I expect to have in the cup or possibly stronger even to balance the milk. I'm not sure how you'd make a latte by steeping it in a saucepan as that's not steamed milk, but the saucepan method is also something you can certainly do (and is often done with chai spiced teas).

For the puerh we went for the top seller - http://www.teavivre.com/ripened-aged-pu-erh-tuocha/ - because it seemed easier for us to share. That's somewhat odd timing, because that's what's in my cup this morning. It's not bad, but I've had better. It does have a bit of the funky woody and earthy flavors, but for my tastes, it's a bit tame. It's not bland, but it's single note doesn't leave me really wanting the tea often. It's a good introduction to pu-erh at least, but you'll find some better ones out there without increasing the price range much.

CommonShore posted:Yeah it's not my first initial introduction - I've bought poorly-labelled cakes from Chinese grocers before and had samples at tea expos - but it's the first time I've ordered any kind of "proper" puerh. My coworker is a total novice, and she might be turned off by too much funk. When I think puerh I tend to think of mellowed out black tea flavours - doesn't taste like twigs! Yeah, this doesn't taste like twigs, but it's just kind of a mild pu-erh. Makes me wish there was more to it. Multiple infusions, longer steeping, it all doesn't seem to make much of a difference for this one. When I saw woody, it's not a twig flavor either, it's a sort of flavor/aroma that reminds me of a copse of trees that have lost their leaves in autumn. Sort of sweet, sort of mellow, with a hint of the smell of old books. Teavivre had some really awesome long jing this year. It was the Premium Long Jing that was just great. I enjoyed it for 3+ steepings, but they recommend a higher temp for brewing on their label than I used. Their temp was too high and I was getting off flavors because of it.

Comb Your Beard posted:Has anybody tried a large variety of jasmine greens? Teavivre has a few different options. There are a bunch of sites in the OP, but you'll still have to search through to find your jasmine greens. I don't care for the jasmine part and there aren't many greens that I really truly enjoy. The ones that I do really enjoy have mostly come from Teavivre with the exception of one high mountain green from the Tea Source. Edit: You could also just search for greens and add some jasmine separately. You'll get more variety that way. Tea shops tend to not blend the very best because they often get over run by the the florals. Jhet fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Jan 9, 2017 |

Bees on Wheat posted:Yeah, I tend to just add dried jasmine flowers to my tea, so I can choose how floral to make it. Same with chrysanthemums, roses, and other flowers. I think I paid about $2 for 1.5oz of plain dried jasmine at a Chinese convenience store last time I bought tea there. Then a week later someone gave me a bag of the same stuff, from the same store, "in case your poo poo isn't floral enough". My friends know me so well. Christmas is last year, you're still good for this year. I'm in the same boat. I have to drink out my drawer which became two drawers full of packets. I still reach for the PG Tips on a regular basis though, because sometimes you just need a mediocre cup of tea with a bunch of milk. Not all tea is the same quality, but you can drink them all. My wife brought me a couple tins of tieguanyin and long jing from Shanghai once and they were solid cups. They weren't amazing, but if you only drink amazing tea, there's no longer anything special about it.

mojo1701a posted:I even bought a cheap french press as my first teapot. It was lousy for coffee, but pretty good for tea. The trick with using a french press for tea is to put the tea on top of the press so that you can filter and remove it when it's time steeping is up. Not the greatest when you're doing multiple infusions, but amazingly easy to clean and super simple for single infusions.

SevenCups looks to have a few more, but I've not purchased anything from them before, but at least one other goon has. Check the first post for more links and options. I know you don't want to wait 4 months to ship from China, so you should use TeaVivre if none of the options are what you want. It only takes a two weeks usually, and a few times it only took a week when I was living on the west coast. Their teas are good quality as well.

neogeo0823 posted:You guys'll recall me asking about brewing iced green tea a few days ago. I forgot to post about it, but i tried both brewing hot and chilling, and brewing cold overnight in the fridge. Between the two, brewing hot produced a stronger, slightly bitter tea(almost definitely slightly over-steeped), and the cold brew produced a much milder, floral tea that was overall better, but didn't take to sweetening via simple syrup as well for some reason. Black teas, most herbal, and rooibos will all need to be hot steeped. You should account for the extra water you'll be adding in ice form, so I usually go double strong for it. Oolong I would also brew like normal but stronger, but I'm not sure how it would taste after sitting in the fridge. Unless it's a green oolong, it probably won't take well to a cold steep. Best way to find out what you like is to make a bunch of mason jars full of samples and go from there.

vermin posted:I've been drinking cacao nibs steeped in water in a teaball cause it sounded like a good idea at the time. The only 100% verifiable health benefit of drinking tea is that it's capable of hydration* due to all that H2O you're steeping it in. Anything else is just pop culture 'science' until you see something with scientific data with repeatable results. *There's caffeine though which is a mild diuretic and will encourage you to express that hydration.

coyo7e posted:Iced tea words There's a good amount of chatter about this only a page back. You can do anything from cold steeping to hot steeping and then chilling. Sun tea as you've already figured out is another option, but the key to good tea is starting with good tea. Find a tea that you like that is also hopefully fairly cheap and use it. The thing that I tend to like is brewing a nice tea stronger (regardless of method of brewing) to make up for the ice that I'll be using. So if I'm doing 3:1::tea:ice, then I'll want to make the tea while considering the additional water in the ice. I start with a ratio of 3 grams to 6 fl oz. The good stuff I usually have unsweetened. Sometimes I just want the sweet, and in that case Luzianne cannot be beaten. I do 2qts of it to 1/2 cup of sugar. I know some will go a full 1 cup, but goodness me that is just too sweet for my northern taste buds.

effika posted:Part of it is the leaves themselves-- salmonella is a contamination concern. Mostly E. coli. Salmonella isn't really going to hang out on the tea leaves, but it could in untreated water sources. Sun tea is mostly fine. It does place the liquid in the temperature zone where bacteria like to grow, but they'd first have to be there, then they'd have to deal with the effects of the chlorine in most people's water sources, and then they'd have to actually reproduce. I'd be more worried about the spigots on those sun tea containers getting full of bacteria from not being washed well with a decent surfactant. I'm not really sure why you'd need to do it though. Just pop the tea into the container and leave on your kitchen counter in the dark or in the refrigerator. It'll taste pretty much the same. I always figured it was a "I have no space on my counter, go put this outside on the porch" solution to needing it made.

QuarkMartial posted:Picked up these two at Wal-mart: If you like the rooibos, I'd recommend finding it from most anywhere else. There's a bunch of online tea shops in the first post that will have it in herbal blends, and they'll all be much better than anything Twinings does. They'll be loose options and many just a little more $/serving, but it's herbal, so you can just stick it in a travel mug with a mesh basket and dump boiling water in on it and be fine. Some of those shops will also have some other decaf options, and tons of loose leaf everything else to pick from. Quality of it will also be better than Twinings. Grocery store tea bags tend to not be great, unless your goal is to brew something overly strong and drink it with milk/sugar. That's when I reach for Yorkshire Gold or PG Tips. They're very near the same price/bag as Twinings, but still for me taste much better with milk and sugar.

QuarkMartial posted:If I wanted to fill a 32oz tumbler with Earl Grey tea, about how many teaspoons/ounces of leaves would I use? I've got a scale. Greens I normally start around 170-180F and adjust from there. Oolongs I start around 195-200 and most Black teas are just off the boil. My rule of thumb for mass is 3g to 8oz of water. Some need a little more, some are spot on. I've never needed to go less than that ratio. I used to routinely make a 68oz thermos full of tea and scaling up with that ratio brought me great success regardless of which tea I'd decided to make for the day. Oolongs and greens I would mix 1st and 2nd steepings and do 32 fl oz at a time. Black teas needed the full scaled ratio.

Scaramouche posted:RE: Water dispenser/heaters, they are OP as heck. Where I work is a coffee equipment place, and I'd say about 1/4 of the commercial contracts include some kind of water heater for tea solution. Sometimes a standalone model w/ cooler, sometimes built into the machine (e.g. BUNN drip brewer). People love those things. You might want to mention that they tend to not make good tea if you just use it straight from the dispenser. I'm all for those things existing, but temp control is just as important for making good tea as it is good coffee. They just tend to be different temps. In other news, I've started roasting coffee based on info in this thread. I'm using a 20 year old air popcorn popper to do it and it's actually turning out okay. Trying to dial in weights and times is a process and I'm starting to think I should have ordered 5# of the same bean just to really figure it out. It was my wife's idea, and she's pretty interested in that part of it too. She's not a big fan of the air popper, but it's too early to upgrade past the popper.

^^ This is apparently the tea thread not the coffee thread and Scaramouche posting here threw me entirely. For penance in my thread confusion, I got a postcard in the mail that TeaSource is adding a Free Finium filter to orders over $30 until Oct 15. Use PCFILTER17 at checkout. It is the small one, but I have two that I use frequently that are at least six years old and still in great shape. Some light discoloration to the plastic, but nothing too terrible. I know there are others in this thread that really like this infuser as well. It's this one: https://www.teasource.com/collections/tea-infusers/products/small-finum-stainless-steel-tea-infuser It looks like they have some Japanese greens on sale this month too.

Cymbal Monkey posted:I adore those little Finum filters, I have four of them. When I just want a big cup of assam and I'm not feeling like faffing with pu-erh cakes and gong-fu and poo poo, this is where I go. Yeah, they get regular use. The tea that TeaSource sells is not at all pretentious, and most of it is just a solid drink regularly without going broke sort of product. They do have a few more expensive teas, too, but it's mostly very reasonable. Shipping is whatever USPS charges them, so the costs are to you what they are to them. The owner does like his big bold black teas (your Assams and Keemun for the most part), and I like the ones he sources. Some of those black blends (the ones with just tea) are regularly taking up shelf space for breakfast and the flavored blends all make pretty good iced tea. Most of the greens are just fine, but I tend to buy my greens from TeaVivre instead. I'm not associated with them, although I did work there for a month about 7 years ago before my wife got a job not in Minnesota and we moved away. In that month though, they made me drink about 85% of the product, so that was my first real experience in the world of tea.

Munkaboo posted:How important is water tds and quality compared to coffee? I'm assuming not nearly. You can certainly filter it, and the tea will probably taste better. Unless you like how your water already tastes in which case it probably won't matter. If you don't like how your water tastes to start, then you probably won't really like what it does to your tea and you should get a filter for brewing tea (and to drink water too).

I found a little sample package of this High Mountain Taiwan oolong http://www.teavivre.com/taiwan-high-mountain-oolong-tea/ in my cupboard. I wish I had drank it sooner. It was sealed, and still very floral and just a little sweet. Starting to get a little stale, but only just. I just love how each different tea is a surprise in flavor based on so many different factors. Makes me sad to think that companies blend it all together to make something consistent and much more boring.

kirtar posted:High mountain oolong is pretty much my go to right now if I decide to use the tiny pot and cups. I think usually the third steeping is my favorite. It was good for 5 steepings yesterday. The middle ones were definitely awesome. Would probably have been good for more, but I think 5 small pots of tea (or one large coffee mug size) is probably enough for one afternoon and evening. Short steepings was where it was best of about 45 seconds - 1.5 minutes. I will definitely be adding this to my next teavivre order. Honestly, I didn't expect to like it as some of the greener oolongs don't really do it for me. Sad that I left it for as long as I did before trying it now. Honestly, I think it's that there are so many tea places in the US that just blend them into fruity blech that I never see the good stuff.

But a $20 kettle. I've had a random Hamilton Beach for 3+ years by now and there's no rust or anything. All you really need in it is something that heats water to a boil. Unless you're planning on using it for pour over coffee, and then you're pretty much looking at a BonaVita I think. The gooseneck and even temp control are really unnecessary. Just use a cup and a thermometer if you want to get precise for things not wanting water at a boil.

fknlo posted:What are some good teas for cold brewing regular old iced tea? I've been hooked on iced tea from Quik Trip for years but recently moved to a place without any QT's and haven't found anything comparable so I'm going to start brewing my own. I bought a couple of these brewers and will be starting with the breakfast teas I already have. Try different teas in a variety you already like, then try making them cold. The more you try, the better of an idea you'll have when it comes to origin and style of leaf. Don't go buying anything that's $20/4oz or anything, but $6-10/4oz is a good place to start. There are a bunch of links to online tea shops in the OP, and most of them have good black teas to try. Without knowing what kind of tea you like, it's really hard to give recommendations, but this one is pretty decent and cheap enough to drink it a lot https://www.teasource.com/collections/china-black-teas/products/teasource-classic-iced-tea-black-tea . Same for the greens, but I'm really in love with the ones TeaVivre has had the last couple years. Chinese greens not Japanese, but there are plenty of other shops that carry Japanese greens to make iced. I should mention that TeaVivre is giving away free samples for a couple more days. No purchase necessary I think? Cold brewing is super easy, just add water and pop it into your fridge overnight and remove the leaves when you're happy with the flavor.

I also got coupon codes for TeaSource in my email this morning. Free Shipping over $50 with SHIPTEA17 and $5 off a $30+ order with TEAGIFT17 There's also their tea of the month sub if you're into that thing for $10 off with GIFTSUB17 (It's an okay sub, but not really worth it unless you really like trying random things.)
