What Tea/Tisane Are You Drinking?

English Breakfast Tea. This is actually my first loose leaf tea, and I am quite enjoying it. I love coffee from my Chemex, however, I was unable to bring it on vacation.

I can definitely see myself getting into tea!

Congratulations on the great experience!

Man, if you think coffee is a wonderful rabbit hole, just wait until you look more into tea.

I just finished my bedtime cup of Glengetti black. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, it is Welsh tea. I like my tea more like builds tea so it's always two teabags steeped to 5 minutes with milk and two sugars.

Taking my Banko-Yaki teapot for a test run with some Organic Kirishima Asatsuyu Sencha from Yuuki-cha.

Supposedly, banko teapots improve the flavor of green teas. The claim is that they make green teas softer, smoother, and mellower, while at the same time enhancing the flavor. I'll have to do some experiments later to see if I can tell the difference.

Again, I'm having English Breakfast tea whilst sitting on the beach! It's a wonderful and relaxing combination.

Just finished a cup of Murchie's Irish Breakfast.

I like my teas with some body, and this one gives it to me.

or, Dong Ding Oolong.

From the oriental grocery, neat jar with laser-hologram-label. Super quality stuff and delivers that toasty, woody flavor.

Green thread. Traditional Navajo Tea. Brings back the memories. Used to pick my own. Now I get it from Yanabah Tea. Late next summer I am going to go tea picking.

In bed, reading the forums on my iPad, with a pot of loose-leaf Yorkshire Gold.

Tea today is Bettys from Harrogate in Yorkshire. A tea room that started in 1919 that does everything very nicely in an old fashionned manner. Their tea is soft and brown with lots of flavour, not as butch as Yorkshire Tea.

I started off the morning with Hibiki-an Premium matcha. I then moved onto my pitcher of English Tea Store's Sencha Kyoto Cherry Rose Festival Green Tea, which I cold brewed earlier.

I've actually been on a cold brew tea kick for the last month or so. I've been hunting down moderately priced bulk loose leaf to just cold brew. It started off as wanting a way to avoid having to buy Ito-En's Oi Ocha, but then kind of spiraled out from that.

(phew) I was afraid I was gauche for drinking pu-erh iced tea ... it's really smooth, though; arguably worth being judged.
