So yeah tea is the best thing in the world. Today I cracked open a bag of Russian caravan tea, and HOLY SHIT is it good. Why did I not come to this sooner?

I am very fond of tea.

Currently working my way through a package of Earl Grey. Tastes kinda like Froot Loops.

Unless you're willing to make it a habit, never even once do loose leaf. You won't ever go back.

I can't enjoy my Twinings Earl Grey any more. So chaffy ;_;

I don't really care if I'm drinking coffee or tea, as long as there is cream in it it's fucking DELICIOUS.

I wish I could get more into fancy teas, but I can't for the life of me find a nice tea store. Also I find loose leaf to be a lot of hassle since NO ONE FUCKING SELLS TEAPOTS WITH FILTERS FFFFFF

Cream in coffee is fucking delicious.
Fuck sugar though, it turns coffee into a completely different beverage.
It makes tea even more delicious, however.

I always keep a handful of Twinings Earl Grey in my bag for tea on the go. I've tried to take my loose tea kit around with me, but it just takes too much room in my bag.

And yeah, it's not great, but it's still better than most bagged teas.

Black Tea is master tea. Oversteep dem leaves until it's hardcore, drink that shit up.

Recommend me best black teas, Senor.

I carry a pre-loaded strainer when I'm out in the mornings, rock it pro style. Cup strainers are the best though. Fund it.

I must get some!

I've slowly recovered my taste for tea after living in Ireland. Too much cheap crap! Bleh! I could live a century and it'd be too soon to have another cup of Lyon's or Barry's!

Also, for any of those who um, consume certain herbal substances, black tea actually is quite pleasant to vape. >.>

Considering its a photo from Tsarist Russia I think someone beat you to it

Tea Weighing Station

"This photo shows the interior of a tea packaging and weighing operation located at the Chakva tea farm and processing plant just north of Batumi, close to the Black Sea coast in what is now the Republic of Georgia. The Chakva farm and plant was one of the major suppliers of tea to all parts of the Russian Empire.

Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii.
Weighing Section, ca. 1907-1915."

Also,to keep things relevant, apricot herbal tea with a side of gingerbread cookies, on fine bone Aynsley china from England.

And to be perfectly honest, I was the one that caused the original taste to storm into you again, if I had not done it, then giving all these new tastes would not have been as nourishing, I break then I make stronger.

No.3812
Genmaicha (especially the heavier Japanese) is a fantastic tea. It's one of those almost savoury greens, and can be a little salty to those not used to it. The toasted rice really adds to the flavour, I think, and you get the strangest undertone of popcorn as a result.

Or, for those who enjoy more exotic and bloody difficult to find teas, look for Kawakawa with ginger and lemongrass. It's a bitch to find outside of New Zealand (being a traditional Maori herb that's not really found anywhere else on earth), but it takes a bit of honey or sugar beautifully. It's one of the only herbals I can drink, because it actually has flavour instead of just stinking to high heaven of whatever the fuck is being used to fill space.

Yeah, they're both looseleaf, but a tea strainer will set you back less than 50 pence and they're totally worth it.

Get some fucking strawberry tea. Goddamn delicious.

Bump for new recipe.

Boil your tea's water separately. In a dry teapot add:

1 cinnamon stick
A splash of vanilla extra
Just a tiny, tiny bit of cayenne pepper. Too much can over power the taste and you can always add more if you want to.
A slice of fresh ginger

Pour in the water and chai tea leaves and let steep. Mix with milk and honey.
