What's /ck/ brewing up?
It's a Noveltea to drink some Qualitea !
OP your post was cute and i like it. very wholesome content, 10/10
i'm not a big tea drinker but i'm trying to do the whole green tea in the morning thing. does anyone know what i can add to it to make it a little easier to drink besides honey/sugar? looking to spice it up a little
>>7302355
Perhaps nutmeg might do the trick.
Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime tea.
>>7302355
Whole mint leaves, brew some up in a pot with the tea.
>>7302314
I drink tea just about everyday but I don't tell /ck/ about it too much because I know they'd judge me.
What should I brew?
>>7302314
Do a lot of people really drink their tea from clear glasses?
Never done it myself.
>>7302381
There is literally a tea general up 24/7.
>>7302381
OP here. Yeah I know that feel, pretty sure people think i'm gay for loving tea so much.
>>7302391
what time is it for you? Have you eaten?
>>7302355
Try earl grey tea. It has oil of bergamot in it (orange oil) and it has a very distinct taste which is pleasing.
>>7302392
You're missing out on the infusion process.
It looks like a colored mist slowing filling up the cup.
>>7302394
what kind of queer gives a crap about people drinking tea? I bet he's some faggot that drinks monster energy.

>>7302463
I have yet to find a good infuser.
I buy the Walmart brand tea bags. I'm picky when it comes to tea though. Some might call me an elitist.
>>7302556
what do you need an infuser for? put the tea in the pot, pour hot water in.
>>7302561
I don't wanna drink the leaves and shit mang.
>>7302566
you should own a tea pot with a strainer built in
>>7302587
Hmm alright.
I was internally debating whether I should have another cup of tea at 2:30 am.
I did. With milk+sugar, which is unusual for me.
I feel fuckin' great. Energized. At peace.
>>7302556
>>7302391
Is that pu-erh in the cake in the lower right? Brew that.
My dream is to someday find a cozy tea cafe where I can go and chill for the day. A place that's never busy and lots of space to find a nice little spot to listen to music or read a book, and maybe someday going there long enough I could find a women who shares the same passion of tea as me to be with.

You... don't boil the water for your tea?
>>7302355
I don't understand what there is about green tea that would be difficult to drink. It's nice. Are you steeping it for too long in overheated water? It's not supposed to be bitter.
>>7303443
Right there with you man. If I can't find one, then I'm going to make one. Have a little teahouse with all the best oolongs and matcha, big overstuffed chairs, soft jazz and classical playing in the back, and monthly rotation of great books on sale or in a lending library. Here's hoping you find your paradise, friend.
pic unrelated, blooming tea is a novelty at best
I always have a few bags of chai and earl grey in my backpack.
I have a tin of matcha green tea powder as well.
Sometimes jasmine green tea. When I have fresh mint leaves I just poor hot water on those. I am more of a coffee person.
Mate.
>this thread
>>7307360
It's a fun novelty, that's for sure.
Got basically that exact pot for christmas.
>>7302355
backing up what >>7306976 said.
Tea isn't supposed to be bitter. If it is your letting it steep for to long or you're just using shitty tea.
If you want good tea you need loose tea instead of bags. Sencha is pretty good green tea. Genmaicha as well.
I didn't know drinking green tea in the morning is a thing, Why is it though. Just drink whatever tea you like at whatever moment you like.
Chifir. Russian friend of mine made it as basically a joke a few years ago. I got hooked, because I seriously love bitter.
i steep cold barley tea in my fridge then i warm it in the microwaver
Anyone ever make wormwood tea?

Except if is black tea or something.

I live in an area bordered by universities.
I'd have thd exact opposite problem in which I'd have hipsters shit on the vibe of a quant, comfy oriental teahouse with a zen garden and coy pond, and all the accroutrements.
My zen is a warm gun for hipster untermensch trash. Worse than fuckin' daesh.
>>7309649
that sucks balls. hipsters and hicks, two sides of a shitty coin. what's daesh?
>>7309683
Fun fact, daesh is a derogatory acronym for al-Dawla al-Islamiya al-Iraq al-Sham which is essentially ISIS.
Hicks and hipster are a step lower still. (Captcha is tea pictures lol.)
Reishi mushroom tea with honey and a little lemon, great for all your body's systems; i swear a regimen of the above once a day is good when you've got a ladyfriend. Good fucky fucky.
Ancient Chinese secret.
Last few things I brewed were some white peony lavender tea and some darjeeling second flush. I also really like genmai-cha.
Left: one or two in my thermos on the daily (coffee in morning, tea during day)
Right : when I'm feeling fruity or very late so I don't want more caffeine (which is rare)
>>7302314
I wish my tea looked that artistic
Left: haven't had it in a long time but it had a nice deep flavor albeit mild
Right: yet to taste it. Green tea with pineapple and strawberry bits along with other things. Smells like amazing gummy worms

>>7309807
Very very cheap black tea. Simple with no frills. As stated i drink a thermos of it everyday. Better than water in every way.
>>7309867
Maybe look up "gunpowder green tea" you inbred. As for the the "flavoring" I was gonna point that out since I'm sure whatever that is, its what's giving it the ungodly strong scent. Tisane (or herbal tea) tend to have a long list of hodgepodge ingredients. They're almost always pretty expensive so I don't pick them up much. That tea in the picture was a Christmas gift.
Why do a lot of loose leaf teas from China sound like they're martial arts moves?
Are they really traditional Chinese teas or something American companies got into and started giving names on?
>>7309787
You gonna smoke that dank?
>>7311911
Honestly 6/10 would consider doing it again
>>7302314
>It's a Noveltea to drink some Qualitea !
You cheeky cunt.
I'm drinking Twinings Green tea with Lemon and Honey at home and Green tea caramlised apple at work.
Anyone tried a "tea press"?
Also:
>be at home
>sit in comfy chair, brew oolong, be comfy
>be at work
>want something warm to drink when working
>drink cup after cup of easily bittered, unpleasant store brand teabags
Anyone here like Kratom Tea?
Ik some people can't stand the flavor but I kinda like it and the effects are really superb.
>>7313754
>pressing the leaves
barbaric desu
>>7314150
mine is kinda like that except I just press them downwards when they're done brewing so they don't float around
it seems like a bad idea overall because the tea just gets bitter over time because the leaves are still in the water so I'll probably get a new pot soon
>>7313754
Why not use a french press if you want to do that? It's cheap and easy to use with coffee too
>>7314398
I don't have a french press, and a store near me is selling a tea press cheap. I think I'm going to pick it up, just to check it out.
Dat dank tea.
>>7313754
I don't see the point of the press if all the tea is contained in an infuser.
>>7314793
The press prevents the tea from becoming bitter by compressing it. Tea doesn't release it's compounds as well when not freely expanding in water.
is lapsang souchong supposed to have a really strong earthy taste
>>7314793
The press on the one I have pushes the tea into the bottom portion of the infuser, and acts like a seal preventing the tea from coming into contact with the rest of the water.
And I'd presume that the compressed tea that can't freely mix with water grows bitter more slowly.
>>7314852
i dont know about earthy but its definately supposed to be smokey
>>7312455
NICE
>>7302314
tea stock currently consists of ceylon, black currant, masala chai, dan cong oolong (GOAT), white peony, and some herbals.
I usually brew in either a single serving mug/basket or my cast iron pot.
>>7308283
What is it like? I am bit distrustfull about that, since Ceylon produce mainly mediocre black tea.
>>7309787
Ad right one: When i worked in tearoom, we had something similiar. All the old, unsellable tea put together, mixed with spice. Fancy name and you still sell it. Well, it wasnt THAT bad, just overpriced for what it was.
>I hated selling that shit to people.
>>7311380
I am not sure, but i think those are traditional names. Do you mean original names (Long Jing, Tie Guanyin, Yin Zhen, etc) or translations (Dragon Well, Iron Goddes of Mercy, Silver Needles)?
DESU i named quite a few characters in MMOs i play after teas, because they have badass names.

I haven't had tea in a while, but tonight I'm gonna brew up some oriental beauty. I been a lot more interested in coffee lately.
>>7316681
Fuck that looks beautiful
i'm sure most of you who ever tried oolongs have had tie guan yin, but has anyone here tried buddha's hand. leaves are cartoonishly big but it makes the best oolong i've ever had.
>>7316702
Link to where you ordered it from? I'll order some and try it out
>>7316713
i got it from silkroadteas but they don't have it atm. hopefully these guys carry a good stock: http://www.teaspring.com/Buddha-Hand.asp or http://www.teacuppa.com/Buddha-Hand-Oolong-Tea.asp

Post pictures that arent blurred to shit, and also include some pictures of the wet leaf.
>>7316814
I love that stuff. Even if it's in the morning.
>>7316929
I have no idea why that picture was so blurry.
Let me describe it: strong taste of ginseng, a mild natural sweetness.
>>7316942
>>7316942
That's definitely a ginseng-flavored oolong then, by the looks of that wet leaf probably around 25% oxidization.
>>7316945
Yep, 100% sure now. That's ginseng powder coating each ball:

I guess it's alright, though I'd have to use it more to say much about it. The bottom portion of the infuser, which the tea is pressed into, seems more or less sealed off.

I had this super cheap sencha I put onto an o-cha order way back when and I decided to pair it with a not very sweet strawberry ice cream I got from a local place. It's fucking amazing, passed all expectations (which were close to 0 but that's not the point)
>>7318787
Not him, but if I had that kind of budget I could do the same without hording, I drink 5+ cups a day
Twinings lapsang souchong. Not crazy about bagged tea but it does the job at work.

What have you drink before? what do you like?
I microwave 2 cups of water for a couple of minutes until boiling, add some lipton bags, and steep for 15 minutes. Then I remove the bags, stir in 2 cups of sugar, and pour it all into a pitcher. Pour six cups of cool water on top of that and add a bit of mint to garnish if you want to get fancy with it.

>>7302314
Currently drinking lavender and earl grey blend
Not that bad but they added artificial aroma or something so eh
Drinking unripe loose pu erh I got from an Asian store awhile ago. No idea on specifics because it's all in Chinese.
Hopefully not full of lead.

TEA IS HOT WATER
>>7320076
People who hate cheap black tea (Lipton in this case) are the coffee equivalent to the hipster trash coffee "aficionados" who only drink double caramel soy frapuccinos at Starbucks
>>7320068
America has successfully disfigured tea in this society. Over 80% of all tea consumed here is ice tea which makes me sad knowing people don't know anything beyond black tea doused in sugar and corn syrup.

What is the proper way to brew REGULAR GREEN TEA?
No excessive equipment, only necessary one.
>>7322432
no boiling water, don't oversteep it
>>7322394
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUuw5rqWkZU
>>7322432
depends on the type of tea. if it's not specified, it probably doesnt matter what you do because it's shit.
>>7322515
It still feels like I'm doing it very wrong (I just pour water over it, cover the cup and wait for 3 minutes).
It even tastes like plain water with little to no flavor.
I just want to make acceptable tea for myself, since I can't stand drinking coffee.
And I usually get Oolong.

Tea rookie here. I usually drink PG tips but I recently bought pic related which was nice. Almost a tobacco flavour to it. What should I try next as a beginner? I really don't like flavoured teas as it doesn't really taste like tea but overpowered spices.
I have a pretty bad sweet tooth, so this sweetish tea satisfies my cravings for sweet stuff. It's cheap, pleb, but tastes dope.

I'm trying Verdant tea out currently. Planning to put in an order once February comes around as they're doing CNY sales.

Germany. I'm mostly looking to import from some trustworthy place in China so I don't have to pay markups that the shops here like to put on their products. I used to order shincha from a local shop until I realized that I could get better product for half the price if I ordered it from Japan.
>>7327980
Fleurdecafe (I just checked) also delivers in Germany. They get their tea from the source themselves (biggest independent in NL), and have the highest quality tea available (as far as I'm concerned). For measure, dragon pearls are about 10.50/100 grams. Haven't tried their new dragon eyes yet, which are supposed to be even better.
>>7328020
Am I reading that correctly that their dragon eyes harvest is from 2010?
>>7328023
I think you are reading that correctly.
I have no clue what the process of dragon eyes is (no other webshop seems to sell it), so I can't say if that's good or not. They do tend to be the first for many teas though, again because of their direct contacts with farmers.

Not only is the infuser great for cleaning, but the cup itself feels good to hold in my hand. Its roundness fits perfectly in my palms when not using the handle. It also has a magnifying affect because of how round it is which makes the colors pop out more.
I call it the Venus cup because it looks like a planet when fully infused.

From Wikipedia:
>Hōjicha (Houjicha) (ほうじ茶?) is a Japanese green tea. It is distinctive from other Japanese green teas because it is roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal, whereas most Japanese teas are steamed. The tea is fired at a high temperature, altering the leaf color tints from green to reddish-brown.
It tastes quite nutty, with a hint of caramel.

It tastes like black oolongs, if you've ever had them.

Yeah, for being a shitty, cash-grab company, this infuser is the shit. There's some tricks to cleaning that you'll learn in the first 10 or so washes. After that though it's smooth sailing for a damn long time.
I want to get the glass one.

...so it tastes more like black tea than Oolong?
Tried some Wuliang Golden today. Not very impressed. Maybe I just don't appreciate black teas that much because it didn't taste that different from much cheaper assam or darjeeling or whatever.
>>7329404
No, what I mean by 'black oolong' is the category of oolong, with high oxidation levels, that produce a brown colour when brewed rather than yellow/green. It has a roasted, sweet and mellow taste usually, and is quite distinct from black teas like assam.
>>7329426
Assam and darjeeling are pretty different so maybe you don't.
I'm still drinking lots of leftover holiday teas. This one's pretty good. The candy cane one is weird as hell, but I started using the tea water from it to make a sort of peppermint-ish hot chocolate. Not bad at all.

I like it because it allows the leaves to fully unfold and expand.
>>7329967
yeah, especially the Carmel Almond Ameretti. That shit expands to like 10 times it's size lol

When I drink Oolong I feel like a mountain man in a cabin brewing up a tin pot over the brick fire place. The nutty roasted wooden flavor gives me the feeling of being a man rolling up my sleeves and getting to work.

I've been meaning to try more teas. So far I've gotten through Long Jing, Oolong and Matcha, along with standard black teas like earl grey etc, which I liked the first, didn't really enjoy the second (may try another cup now) and loved the latter enough to buy a proper set to prepare it. Any Aussies living in Brisbane know any good tea places? T2 seems like commercialized shit, but it's the only place I know of that's close to me.
Thinking of trying Sencha next, or some sort of white/silver tea. Really want to get my hands on some red tea as well.

idk, peach momotaro used to be my shit...but thats when i was working for teavana...so it was free. upsold that tea like crazy.

learn your roasting before you post, pleb. go look at monkey picked oolong, drink it, then tell me who the peasant is.
mind you, the best tea that you can find is often in the small pleb tea store that doesnt charge an arm and a leg for some ceylon shit that all of sri-lanka pumps out.

Bai Mu Dan, Silver Needle and Sencha.
My tooth has been hurting recently when I drink hot tea. There's no cavity (unless my dentist is incompetent), just painful heat sensitivity. Really sucks.
>>7331828
I started having that with cold sensations since the last time I got a tooth cleaning procedure done by my dentist. Pretty annoying when brushing your teeth or drinking cold stuff but at least I can still drink hot tea.
>>7331828
Have you had a filling in that tooth before?
I had one in one of my teeth and everytime I had something hot or cold, it had a weird sensation in it. Turns out, botched filling job, needed to go get a root canal after my face started swelling up. Watch that.
I bought these recently, a bit disappointed with the gunpowder green (thought it would be smokey, but it's not at all) and the marrakech mint (not very minty at all), but I love the genmaicha and the jasmine dragon pearls

Here's a picture from a tea house in the city god temple in Shanghai, came with some tea eggs- (quail), some really good tofu and some sweets.

Gunpowder is pretty much the most basic tea there is. The quality varies greatly.
>>7332010
Looks really nice. What kind of tea?
I've been drinking 3 cups of pic related daily after hearing spearmint reduces body hair growth. Started around new years and it seems to be working but that might just be placebo. Can anyone else vouch for its effects? Should I be using something more potent than this herbal blend?
>>7332332
Are you a cute trap?
>>7332360
Yeh
>>7332332
fuck me, my local shitmart stopped stocking both the bigelow mint medley and the plantation mint
the fuck you got against hot minty tea, shitmart
did the NSA tell you I haven't been dumping my mandatory two cups of sugar in

Anyone else find that a good vape flavor complements tea really well? Yea I know,
>dude vape lmao
I actually really find that dark desserty flavors complement fruity teas and vice versa.
