I like unsweetened black tea....on ice

That's some dark fucking green tea, looks oversteeped to hell and back.

>>13522993
Looks like matcha. It looks that dark even with cold water.

drinking some genmaicha at the moment

Theirs a tea store by me with really high quality/expensive teas. Had a black tea that had dried blueberry/blueberry flower. Good stuff, not sure what to try next

I've never tried tea, but I love coffee
What would you have me try if you wanted to convert me to the other side?

>>13523049
earl gray with some bullshit dumped in it like the english do

>>13523049
Matcha, or white tea.

>>13523051
Nah just a good Earl gray with that bergamot shit. Black and not oversteeped. That did it for me.

In the mountains of Shizuoka city lies the tiny village of Osawa. There are only about 25 families still living there, but they all grow tea. And each tea is a bit unique. Every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month, several houses open their porches as a kind of cafe. ¥300 gets you a cup of tea and a small bite or two to eat.
Its so wonderful. I only got to go twice, but I hope someday I could return.

>>13522983
Nai Xiang oolong for me right now. It's kind of expensive for normies but I don't mind spending some money on good tea.

I bought about $1500 worth of tea a couple months back, got a huge box from Taiwan.

>>13523066
Is it weird I think some teas taste better over steeped?
Sometimes I taste too much water in my tea. Yes I do use correct amounts of water and steeping time. sometimes I make too much tea and the 2nd cup thats been steeping just taste more like the tea

>>13523146
There is no "correct" steeping time or temperature when accounting for taste. British people can't make a cup of tea that isn't way over-steeped with water way too hot (IMHO) but they seem to love it once they dump enough cream and sugar and lemon and honey and Jelly Babies in.

>>13523011
Even for macha that's a bit much. i guess that the lighting is off and whatever it's not a glamor instagram shot, but a cup of mach should be more green than brown in color

>>13522993

Sure thing buddy

In all seriousness, tea is pretty good. I'm fond of matcha for sure, but a good strong black Indian tea is solid too.

>>13523156
Yeah mine is certainty not that watery and I enjoy it plain.

Earl grey with cream and sugar I take it as a dessert and not quite as tea personally

>>13522983
WHy does green tea smell like fish?

>>13523370
its all hand harvested by japanese girls with their week old unwashed yellowed panties and bushy pubic hair

drinking imperial white in my new tea cup, now I can see its liquor color clearly

>>13523493
I worked at a school with a tea farm, and they didn't even hand harvest there.

>>13523512
Japanese people expect their tea to be shredded into tiny tiny bits, why would they care if it's hand harvested? CTC is the go-to for like 99% of all tea sold at least.

I like the kirtland green tea bags cause it actually comes out green and not piss yellow like countless other shitty "green" tea I've tried.

>>13523206
Are those melted crayons?

>>13522983
matcha, bit of spirulina, dash of vanilla, pinch of salt, monk fruit erythritol, shot of MCT oil and a shot of cream

>>13523206

cringe

For me it's moringa

I love green tea, but looking up about it online is like if you just found that Jesus Christ reincarnated into it.
Is there a negative to it like there is to coffee?

Mind you, I may only drink one cup a day during weekdays, and it's not always.

>>13526289
too much caffeine is always bad for you. also tea can sometimes be contaminated with heavy metals and stuff. and drinking hot water a lot can have a risk of lung cancer. but people in china drink it every day and live to like 100 and i'm probably gonna die before i have to worry about that kind of shit anyways so i don't worry about it too much.

The esophagus isn't a part of the lungs or the respiratory system in general.

>>13526395
well whatever, it's somewhere around there. i was wrong about the specific organ. either way it doesn't matter, the risk is minute. just like the "oh if you eat bacon you get prostate cancer" shit. you can't avoid everything mildly carcinogenic.

>>13524274
HAHAH WEED DUDE WEEEEED HAHAH WEEED DUDE HAHAH MY LIFE IS DEFINED BY A DRUG HAHAHA WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

It's Nerd candies

>>13526448
Just kind of a bad look to preach about stuff and throw around links to "references" when you don't even understand what it's about. If you don't know the difference between the esophagus and lungs which is very basic biology then how can you speak about how any of the other shit affects the body? Also, If the risk is minute, why even bring it up? Literally anything will kill you if you consume too much of it.

>>13526501
>not having the self-awareness to realize you're far more cringe-worthy than the people you set out to mock

>>13526604
i was going completely off memory in the first post, i said lungs but looked up the source and it turns out it was the esophagus, it's a minor mistake. anyways, i ain't preaching about shit my dude. a guy asked for some negative health effects of green tea so i gave him some. that's all. i drink the shit on a daily basis. if someone asked me about the negative effects of red meat i'd give them some of those too even though they're also insignificant and i also eat it on a regular basis.

>>13526608
no he's not

>>13526338
Well, that's when you drink super hot boiling water, as it is burning and injuring your throat. But it's not from drinking warm beverages.

That myth is also strongly associated with mate, because that's how it was traditionally drank, but mate itself won't give you cancer.
