Luckily, I *did* save your old avatar. Fucked around and found out indeed.
|
i think you would want to brew the tea as normal for 4-5 min or whatever is appropriate for your flavor tea, and then strain it into the thermos and use the thermos to just keep the brewed and delicious tea hot instead of putting the leaves in the thermos.
I was hesitant about this because I thought it would involve a lot of extra steps and more things to clean, but turns out they sell teapots large enough for my thermos so I really should have just looked for that first. Whoops!
Thanks for the help.

Another BYOB success story!
I actually really like rooibos. Some people don't. My mom really likes tulsi.

ALWAYS BE MECHFISHIN'

Due to weather and a rather unreasonable amount of my job now being outdoors due to COVID, I have invested in a thermos for the purposes of hot tea for hours.
I have some questions, though!
1) Is there a good way to brew actual tea tea in a thermos without it sitting too long and going bitter? I've been doing herbal tea because you can let it sit forever and it'll still taste decent, but I wouldn't mind alternatives.
2) Are there any gadgets that make brewing loose leaf tea in a thermos not a massive headache? Mine's one of the larger ones.
3) Someone recommend me some herbal teas they like? I've mostly been doing peppermint and Tazo's wild sweet orange but some variety would be nice! The only requirement I've got is that I'm not super fond of blends with cinnamon in them because it's easy for the cinnamon to get overpowering.
1. Any good whole leaf tea will be good, but if you want a tea bag alternative, Prince of Peace Jasmine Organic Green is my go-to
2. Use an open fill teabag or a piece of cheesecloth. Look for tea socks or tea bags made by Finum, I have strong opinions by teabags made from a lot of other vendors
3. I have been enjoying Jiao Gu Lan, which is a caffeine free herbal that is naturally sweet and can be resteeped. There is a saying that drinking it makes you live longer, and people who live in the area where it grows do tend to live longer, so who knows? You can find it sold at places like ImmortaliTEA. I recommend looking for whole leaf Jiao Gu Lan if you can find it.

I uh...may or may not have gone to Kobe and dropped 27k yen on tea. I'm so happy to finally have a selection of Chinese and Taiwanese teas again.

Looks delicious. 
Of you can find some I think it's an A+ tea. Kind of smells like chocolate in a way. Really light. Just a bit astringent. A little sweet. It's like my favorite morning tea.

Made lots of peppermint tea today. Also, had an idea for a mug: have a teacup painted on the side.
Something like this, but not a hideous paint mock-up:

My mother went to a tea convention in Kansas City and sent me a bunch of different teas from Taiwan, Nepal, and France. There were also Mississippi teas (not a euphemism), but I did not get any of those.

It is located at https://www.neutral-ground-tea-services.com - basically, it will specialize in tea service and events and then also sell tea itself incidentally in case people wanted to buy some tea coins. All public service will be free of charge, no tips or anything, since I believe that all people should have the opportunity to drink excellent tea (excellent, sincerity, respect, and accessibility are the four cornerstones of the business).
The site is pretty simple and high contrast and with alt-text on most all images in order to ensure that I'm being color-blind and accessibility reader friendly. So far under the actual business banner, I've served tea for 17 people with an online event and am going to do another one for 5 people once I get the new teawares in to send out to people.
I ended up parting ways with the other local tea business in town since I have my own thing going on - no hard feelings with them but I didn't want to stay tangled in their business lines. Public tea service will be 'traveling pop-ups', so wherever I am and bring my tea stuff, I will serve tea. That could be at a coffee shop, a dance studio, a kink studio, a martial arts center, on a paddle board on the lake...You get the idea. Also talking with some other tea businesses to see if I can do a traveling tea residency there and do business knowledge sharing.
It is a good time!

Tonight I am drinking Nepal Tea's Buddha's Potion, a white tea with spices. It's nicely aromatic, but the flavors are a bit too subtle for me. It's...fine. I neither desire this tea nor suffer because of it.

I like white tea but it's definitely very subtle. I'm surprised the spice doesn't completely overpower it.

Tonight my cup holds Jing Si Black Oolong from Taiwan. Smooth, pure taste. I like this better than other oolongs I've had.

Tonight is Nepali black tea with black pepper, ginger, black cardamom, and cinnamon leaf. Tastes like black tea. I'm kind of underwhelmed. With those ingredients, I was expecting mouthgasms. It's not bad for black tea though.
