/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Ive been drinking coffee since I was 13, but now I wanna try and mix tea into my day rather than a second or third afternoon cup of joe. Problem is I dont know ANYTHING about tea other than I liked the taste the few times someone has made it for me/I try a sample at teavanna.

Should I buy one of those teapots with infusers, or just an infuser, or one of those Teavanna PerfecTea makers (or something similar from another brand)?

What tea should I try first? Where is the best place to buy tea (online or retail chain)? Should I get a sampler of a bunch of teas, do they even sell something like that?

Ill take any information you can give me. If you dont feel like explaining it yourself at least give me some links to some resources you'd recommend I read

Thanks /ck/
