Having some grand keemun black tea blended in some red roses. Let it steep for around 8-10 mins tho. No bitterness just rich tasting. Oh yeah and this is apparently (according to my tea source) the "original" English breakfast tea. Some ima call it OG Keemun. Anyone else notice how well tea and marijuana preform together? Like a beautiful synergy. Sent from my eyephone
My personal favourite is luobuma tea. No caffeine. It's from a company called Harena Maris. I usually order mine online they ship quick.
My giawan! Some superb puerh a friend sent me. Different high quality ripe puerh & some raw puerh Sent from my eyephone
Love me some English Breakfast or Earl Grey, keep that Tetley crap away from me, that shit's for the peasants and people who have no idea about tea.

I'm a hardcore soda drinker. Or at least used to be. Used to drink a 2 liter in under a day straight out the bottle. But now I'm down to a few cups a day. Some days no soda. id like to completely cut it out of my system and would like to start with tea as a substitute. I don't drink tea at all. At. All. So how would I begin? I guess go and buy a tea strainer/kit? What teas are good to start with? Any tips or tricks to making tea? I live on the east coast of the united states.
How involved do you want to be with it? Does the tea have to provide you with caffeine? Have you tried any tea before? Amber oolong from Taiwan Qilan oolong from china. 2011 Shou puerh from Yunnan, china. Hope you all stay Happy, healthy, & hydrated. Sent from my eyephone
never heard of or seen those teas. I'd like to get into it a little without going into an obsessive state lol. I don't want to drink tea allll day long. But a few cups throughout the day would be nice. I've only had tea that my mom makes and some from work. Mother buys hers from dollar general and our work has too much sugar/taste like crap.
Start with bagged tea. Do you need caffeinated tea? Oolong, black, and green tea are the fairy caffeinated varieties but even two separate teas will vary greatly. I've been on my tea journey for about 2 years, and within the last year I have really expanded my tastes. Sent from my eyephone
Lol this picture is deceiving. I blew out a vape hit and snapped a photo that just happened to make it look like my tea was steaming. Sent from my eyephone
I could try caffeinated tea and try some that's not. I'm not sure if it's the caffeine I want gone or soda... I've never even seen how tea is made! And that picture looks sweet! What kind of tea maker/cup is that?? Looks like something from the olden days
It's a fairly new tea vessel. Technically a tea pot is something you boil water with. Some of my favorite herbs to make tea with are: Lavender, lemon balm, chamomile, damiana, tulsi (holy basil), peppermint, red rose petals, nettle, oatstraw, purple cone flower, thyme, mullein, red clover, and dandelion root.

Making a cup of tea this morning. Used 1/3rd teaspoon of locally and organically grown Nettle, organic red rose petals, organic holy basil, and organic Sencha green tea. Immune boosting and slightly stimulating from the sencha green tea. I used 175F water and let it steep for 30 mins. Generally that amount of steep time is used when one attempts to consume mostly all the medicinal properties of herbs. Sent from my eyephone
Well me and my girl went to the store last night and we decided to get a box of tea bags. They're applewood flavor, caffirne free herbal tea bags. And you're supposed to add a cinnamon stick in but we didn't have any. I boiled two cups of water, didn't know about checking the temperature of the water, and steeped it for about 6 minutes....im assuming steep means mixing it up when you pour the water over the tea in your cup?... well it ended up with a real light taste of sweet apples. It was a little bland but I'm assuming it would have had more of a kick with the sticks. What exactly does it mean to steep your tea? Lol
just made a combination of green tea, monkey picked oolong, fresh chopped mint leaves and a little organic maple syrup. fantastic..
I'm English so we aren't really that mad on different teas (surprisingly), or maybe that's just me. . Standard builders brew, regular tea 2 sugars and a dash of milk. Got to let the tea brew though so it's good and strong. . The only fruit tea I like is blueberry and apple. Turkish apple tea is the shizz too if you can get a hold of it, it's instant tea but gives you tingles all over.
Acquired some 2007 ripe pu'erh today. I bought a full cake which is 357 grams or 12.58 ounces. I paid $19.99. Which breaks down to about .60 cents per 10 gram tea session. Pu'erh tea was traditionally pressed into a brick or cake because that allowed for ease of storage while traveling via horseback. I found this sample to taste earthy, and dark with a silky smooth mouthfeel. There were hints of plum present as well. The interesting bit with this tea is that it lacks any bitterness or astringent properties. One can steep it for 30 seconds or (my favorite) 30 mins. It's a fermented type of tea that has ancient origins dating back thousands of years. It is one of the few teas that will actually get better with age under the right storage conditions.
