I’ve been one entire summer to drink this tea in cans. I bought almost two packs of twelve cans a week. It was a drug, litterally. For the ones who want to try it, you won’t regret it. But I got enough of it and I saw a big difference in my bank account thereafter. It’s totally addictive!
..This is a white tea? I examined the tea bag before I steeped and saw a whole lotta stuff in it, but nothing that struck me as looking like anything but Japanese green (it looks like cut grass). So maybe there was some sort of white tea ritual where they have workers wave small bushels of white over the tea as it’s being mixed? Sort of like a sage burning ceremony?
This tea might as well be herbal! Ugh! I’d rate it lower, but the taste is actually pretty good so I’ll cut it a little slack (but I’m not happy).
The tea tea would make excellent potpourri though, it smells very nice.
Preparation
Blegh! Fake berry flavor alert!! I cold brewed three teabags or abt. 8 hrs. DH & I each choked down a glass and then poured with pitcher out. Maybe if you drink Lipton’s RTD flavored bottles of tea you might like this, but we both found the berry flavor overpoweringly strong and underwhelmingly artificial.
Preparation
1 pyramid bag for 250mL water.
Smells great — peaches, peach fuzz, a bit of mango.
Tastes bitter and soapy. Boiling water, just-off-the-boil water, cooler water — doesn’t seem to matter. Mineral bitter and soapy, at that.
Preparation
A very unorthodox kind of tea, but if you like fruit (especially pineapple) you should definitely give it a try. Smells lovely too. It’s like an exotic holiday in a teabag!
Preparation
I give it more than zero only because it can inject caffeine into my system at 3 o’ clock when there are no other teas available. Other than that, it tastes like nothing. When people say that they “don’t like tea,” it’s usually because all they know is Lipton.
Preparation
My daily cuppa..
I really wanted to enjoy the first (quick) steeping without milk, but alas, I gave into the seductive power of the creamer sitting on the desk next to me. Second steeping, straight, was fine.
Now I think my quest will be to find a really nice orange pekoe/breakfast blend that I can use as my every day tea without adding anything, something economical but of the loose tea variety for sure. Any suggestions??
Preparation
Maybe David’s Organic Breakfast? Bright and hearty and much more ‘alive’ than many English Breakfast blends out there.
Does tea keep you up or doesn’t it? My mom always drank tea in the evening. I hear a lot of my colleagues say they drink only herbal teas in the afternoon and onwards. Heck, my dad always drank his coffee at night.
So I brewed some of this my usual way, strong, with cream, and went about my usual business of sterilizing bottles, etc. Several hours later I was still watching old episodes of Conan with the wifey .. maybe the Ceylon Silver Tips that came afterwards had some effect ;)
