Oolong tea
>>51734171
We already have. Although ginkgo is better, but also has higher risks.

>>51735454
Ginkgo tea contains gingkol acid which can cause gastritis and heavy allergy reactions. Because the amount in natural tea is not controlled here in europoor they want to classify it as harmful. The ingredients have quite some positive effect including a small brain boost. On a side note the gingko tree is quite popular here as a decorative plant.
Ginseng has less side effects, its main effect is a immune system boost but also boost concentration and brain activity. The white contains more agents than the red but the red is more common.
So ginkgo is more of a smart tea but contains higher risk when consumed as tea but ginseng is more safe.
look, i like tea as much as the next guy, and probably more, but if you're interested in talking about tea or coffee or whatever, take it to /ck/.
stop this silo'ing shit. it's cancer.

Shamfur dispray, but I must say I was guilty of doing that at one point too.
My favorite tea during the mid day is milk oolong, other times it's earl gray with milk. and no I'm not a britbong.
Also I own pic related, you can set temperature and have it hold for 15 minutes.
>>51735440
I put a bag of these in my teapot of pu'er tea. I recently bought ginseng roots and use these instead,

Okay, but not as good as a nice black coffee
>>51736484
I find it tastes awful, and only good for the caffeine. If I just want caffeine, I have caffeine pills (which are cheaper in bulk, faster to consume, easier to have quickly, and taste more neutral since I just swallow a pill with water).

I would dare to say that you've never had a good blonde roast coffee then. I'm going to assume so. It's very much not "coffee-like" in the sense of the stereotypical roasted sense. More of the natural bean flavor ones through in a light roast, revealing an entire world of flavors that many people don't know about.
Heavy roasted coffee is the devil.
>You will never drink tea with cute anime girls
Life is suffering
>>51736543
I lived in Seattle for a few months and spent all my off time visiting different coffee shops - not just myriad Starbucks locations. Seattle and Portland are probably the only major *quality* coffee cities in the world (my experience has been that NYC has more coffee per capita, but mostly as an alternative to cocaine for people to stay alive with so little sleep).
I've found tolerable coffee, but I almost universally prefer tea. And more importantly, there was no practical way to bring the "good coffee" that I found in Seattle back home to the Bay Area, so even if I found coffee I loved I would still have to go back to drinking shit tier coffee back home (although I'm underselling the coffee shops I've found around here - some of which have been at least "all right").

It's like you fellow Americans don't want easily accessible loose leaf tea. My favorite is an Oolong mint blend with just a hint of ginger and honey.
This is by far my favourite.

They don't have a electric kettle? How are they making hot water in small quantities?
>>51737428
there's not much of a tea culture in the US, so a dedicated kettle is considered kind of excessive. It would be like owning a sous vide machine or something.
If we want to boil water, most people either microwave a cup or boil a pot of water (although I don't have a microwave, and I do have a kettle; I'm just reporting on the norms around me).
>>51737419
Teavana is like the Bose or Beats Audio of tea. They sell a mid range product at a premium price and normies think it's amazing because they've never had anything else. It's far better to buy your tea directly from the country of origin, or go to a locally owned tea shop where the owner actually cares and isn't stocking leaf that's been sitting in a warehouse for two years.
>>51737454
>microwave a cup
>>51737428
It's not common, but I've seen a few. Normally, I just put a kettle on a stove.
>>51737115

>>51737419
you do realize Teavana is owned by Starbucks right
>>51737485
While I don't do it, I don't find it as disdainful as you seem to. I don't get all emotional about how people heat water.
If you want to persuade me to care half as much as you do, I'm probably open to it, just... you know, post more than a reaction gif.
>>51737485
It doesn't matter as long as you don't let it boil too long.
>>51737492
an electric kettle is cheap and boils in around 40 seconds. enjoy your last century
>>51737502
It seems like a pretty huge waste of energy. But mericlaps doesn't seem to care about wasting resources anyway.
>>51737529
So you're objecting profusely because it's wasting energy?
The microwave is on for like a minute for a single cup, maybe 90 seconds.
How much energy are you sweating over here? I'm assuming you've run the numbers on this huge injustice. I've got a light on I don't need. Are you going to have me shot?
![img_2524[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/IrqCJmX.jpg "img_2524[1].jpg")
I drink this 3-5 times a week, depending on where my job takes me.
I also use a solid state drive and dumb phone.
>>51737528
>implying analog kettles don't also boil in like 40 seconds
I will admit the temperature control stuff could come in handy.
even coffeefags should own a kettle.
unless you have those hot water taps designed for hot drinks, then i'll let you off
>>51737560
To be fair, a microwave to boil water would have to use far more energy by design (since the water molecules have to absorb radiation) than just putting it on a stove.
>>51737560
if you drink as much tea as an average brit or irish person, you'd be wasting a fortune
Hello. I am Tea.
>>51737572
Not him; I was posting about how americans generally use a stove and microwave. don't be a faggot with facts. neither a gas nor an electric stove would turn room temperature water into boiling water in 40 seconds from a cold start.
i'm not advocating that every incidental tea drinker MUST get an electric kettle, but the trade-off is one every person has to make. For some people the occasional tea in 10 minutes versus 5 minutes (remember you have to steep tea for a few minutes regardless) isn't that big a deal. That's fine.
I'm very classic.
Yorkshire tea or Twining's Earl Grey suits me just fine. I wish I could like coffee but I don't think I've ever had any good coffee.
>>51737597
>>51737590
Yes, but like I said, there's not nearly as much of a tea culture in the US as there is in the UK. I didn't just say that to fill space; people don't make tea as often in the US - not by a long long shot.
>>51737615
What? A kettle on a gas stove only takes like a minute for a cup.
>>51737255
>implying I don't have a teapot which implements the HTCPCP-TEA
>Americans don't own kettles
I just don't understand that country.
Sometimes I empty out the contents of a teabag into a shotglass with water in it and drink it
I'm not sure how bad for me this is
>>51737767
It's not bad for you; it's just gross.
>>51737750
No we have kettles. Just not electric kettles. Or at least where I live.
>>51737648
The specific heat of water and the conductivity of most metals suitable for stovetop cooking equipment makes that pretty hard to believe, unless you're priming things (e.g. heating the kettle in advance so that the water immediately comes in contact with a whole bunch of hot surface area).
I'm willing to buy that it would take between a 2 and 3 minutes for hot water (coming out of the tap) to come to boiling if you poured it into a room temp kettle and immediately placed that on a stove, but honestly none of this matters. The point is that people don't drink that much tea in the US, and it doesn't make sense to invest in an electric kettle for the people that drink tea only incidentally compared to people in the UK.
You're acting like an autist by insisting on these specific details. What matters is that a stovetop kettle is sufficient for Americans who drink tea occasionally, and a microwave is sufficient for people who drink tea rarely. All this head-shaking over the wastefulness of a microwave running for 2 minutes a month is retarded.
Yorkshire tea > * desu
>>51733889
>>51737848
Kek, enjoy your buzz anon.
>>51737796
Why is this so hard to believe? I make a cup of tea every morning and it takes like 1 minute to boil. It's a small kettle with only a little bit of water placed on a big flame. There is absolutely no reason why it should take as long as you are claiming. Obviously if you use a huge pot and/or more water it'll take longer. I can't be assed to run numbers for you though.
By the way, I don't really care about the rest of your argument if it isn't clear. I'm just contesting this bizarre notion that heating up a little bit of water on a stove takes a long time.
>>51737086
Only pic I could find of it. And it's technically a coffee mug, but I use it for tea too.

Came here to post this, God's choice for bagged and loose leaf tea.
Got this with a built in steeper for two bucks never used at a tag sale. Get loose leaf at a local market for a fraction the price of tea bags.
Makes two cups at a time, green in 5 minutes black in 8.
I would highly recommend a cheap one to anyone who likes tea.
>>51738779
Oh man, that's really pretty and only $2? Goddamn. Does it pour well? A friend of mine's grandma has this amazing Chinese metal teapot that pours like a dream and literally cannot drip or spill for some reason.

I usually use the kettle to boil the water for noodles and then fill it into a pot on the stove. much faster than boiling the water on the stove.

soup and slow cooked meat is the best

if you're a poorfag, soup goes a long way and there's not many ways to fuck it up besides too much water/too much salt or spices
you can also stretch a hunk of meat to last you a week or so
