there’s a tree here in new zealand called manuka and it’s called the tea tree coz when settlers came here they used it for tea

gently caress I cannot imagine drinking that and thinking it’s improved some water

some people call cactus juice cactus “tea” and I won’t like it’s gross but much like real tea it’s got drugs in it which makes it worthwhile

yeah that’s the one

I think they have to on some level determine that a majority of the honey comes from the flowers of the manuka tree

shit wizard dad

Earl Grey steeped for too long is hella bitter and also a real gut-starter, it's like the morning's first coffee but anytime of day.

you’re supposed to steep early grey for way too long and crush the bag against the side of the cup

i mean, it is all about the health benefits right? it's rated on its methylglyoxal contents after all, a wondrous chemical previously more enjoyed by diabetics, with benefits like damaging dna and causing atherosclerosis

e: to be clear studies suggest that *eating* it may not cause those problems, but otoh of course nothing really establishes any of the imagined benefits either. and i find it really funny that there's a health product carefully measured and rated to contain as much as possible of what is in the body a toxic metabolic byproduct that there's a lot of focus on lowering

e2: plus also of course eating "anti-bacterial" stuff by and large means that you should hope it doesn't actually work.

it's mouth twisting bitter and then i add some sugar to make it good, literally leaves plaque in my mouth. best way to drink tea

if you comically oversteep the tea even more than this and then add evaporated milk, your most of the way toward hong kong style milk tea
