SweetWillyRollbar posted:I tend to go for non blends, but I'm not opposed to blends I don't recall coming across many single origin teas with as complex a taste profile as blends. Or maybe they are complex but in a more sophisticated way than "woah I taste flowers and almonds and berries and mint and citrus and..." immediately hitting you like a sledgehammer. |

It's a Yunnan gold leaf kind of morning. At noon. Been enjoying my oolongs as well. I recently got some green rooibos as well. It's interesting |

I really don't get what all the hubub is about re: pu ehr because it tastes bad 2 me, but if people want to pay a premium for poo poo cakes that are left in the ground forever that's cool and I support them. |

I threw a tea party. made little tea sandwiches, deviled eggs, and charcuterie last spring and people were unsure at first, but it immediately became a bi-monthly thing. which is a lot since I am old and travel |

You take several camellia sinensis leaves or whatever and put them in the ground for a long time and then they become gross/expensive idgi either. |

I also feel like if Chinese, Korean, and Japanese says that "tea" can mean like almost anything steeped in hot water than the "tea plant" way of thinking needs to calm down. Maybe sip some tea or something

Thought drinking tea on the 4th of july seemed unpatriotic but then I remembered we rebelled against our tyrannical british overlords just because we wanted cheaper tea so cheaper tea isn't free thank you to our troops

caleb posted:It's me, the only person who likes Lapsang Souchong. Here. In this very thread. I love Lapsang Souchong but I have to be in the right mood for it. Sometimes I make my own Russian Caravan tea and blend just a pinch with black tea I have on hand, like an Assam, so I end up with just a hint of that smoky flavor. Messing around with your own blends is one of the fun things about loose tea!

Is it blasphemy to indicate a preference for a good, strong yorkshire breakfast tea with a shedload (between 1 - 3 tsp) of sugar and milk?
I for one am happy to remain a porpoise. |

tea buds (unintentional) I picked up a big rear end mason jar to cold brew some iced teas in and I'm really excited about it because it's been so hot here that I've not been drinking much tea and that's been kind of a bummer. Oh and my best friend growing up bought me a really nice gaiwan as a birthday gift. Teaware is the best I love it. Drinking a hot Dragonwell right now.

I have this strawberry oolong that makes the most amazing iced tea, but holy crap it makes you jittery! Maybe I steeped it too long or used too much leaves. |

SweetWillyRollbar posted:Tie guan yin kinda afternoon Tie guan yin in the streets, shou pu erh in the sheets Drinking an aged white and honestly it's probably my favorite tea lately. It's like drinking honey I have no idea how tea is this luxurious and sweet and also well balanced. It's mind-blowing. I wish it was okay to go see my friends and have them try this because I think it's the kind of thing you could give to a non-tea drinker and it would blow their mind at the breadth of possibility for the same leaf that makes up Lipton tea bags. |

I'm drinking Chai right now with a teaspoon of sugar and splash of milk. I guess I DO take milk with my tea. I generally stick to tea in the afternoons on weekdays, and boy did I need it today as I keep trying to take a nap instead of do work related things.
