Tea
We have yuropeons here right? What kind of teas do you like/drink? I've never been a coffee person, but lately I have been trying to upgrade my taste buds from cheap, shitty teabags to some proper loose leaf.
I prefer Oolong or Black Teas, myself.

Lemon or mint for me.

Re: Tea
I know this is the tea thread but I started drinking coffee because I was told it would help me shit (I traditionally have "problems" in that area). Now people think I'm a "coffee guy" and it bothers me.
I don't want to be a "coffee guy."
I don't even know anything about coffee.
Thanks for reading my blog.

Just drink your coffee in private, mate.

Re: Tea
You could ask Red Line to help the constipation. Alternatively try Arabic mocca style coffee brewed directly in a pot instead of relying on coffee machines where the water isn't even boiling.

Flax seeds are also a natural laxative, if you wanna avoid the Devil's bean.

Re: Tea
Do you mean tea brewed from lemon and orange, or a tea flavored with those things? Forgive my autism-I'm not sure whether you mean a black flavored tea or an herbal tea.Le Redditeur wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 4:06 pmI'm a lemon and orange tea sipper, love me those citric flavours.

Re: Tea
Aside from the more casual stuff like herbal teas (stinging nettle being my favourite there) for actual tea I've got a few favourites.
I make black tea the standard European way. I usually have it with a bit of cream, the Frisian Assam blends in the Friesian way with rock candy and no stirring as well.
For other tea I make them in the Chinese gong fu style. I've got three small teapots. A Japanese one for white and yellow tea, an affordable clay one for Pu-ehr and an original Yixing pot for Oolong.
If you want to give that a try, get yourself a gaiwan. A nice one doesn't cost much.
The point is to have a ratio of water to tea that's just about even. In exchange, the steeping time is drastically reduced.
For an Oolong you'd do a wash and then an initial steeping time of around 20 seconds with 90°C water. Then you adjust from there. You get about 8 steepings out of that. So about as many cups.
The result is a more aromatic and intense tea, plus easier adjustability.
Oolong is my favourite tea, followed by yellow tea. I hate the trend of lesser roasting and fermentation of Oolong, driven by green tea fags.
Favourites of mine are Oriental Beauty, Red Pearl and all bug-bitten Oolongs in general. Taiwan produces the very best Oolong.
I don't like green tea. I have yet to try one I like.
