recently had some pu-erh and it was too fishy for my taste. kind of surprising since I love sencha.

my favorites are definitely genmaisha, thai oolong and various sorts of korean green tea, the best being the roasted ones. what are yours?

I actually prefer herbal-tea blends. I had a tea plant for a few years under a polytunnel before massive storms dumped 4 feet of snow on everything and the electric was out for 2 weeks. Everything died as a result. But, I was blending Aspalathus linearis (rooibos) and Camellia sinensis (tea). I'm hoping to get more starts and continue. Meanwhile I've been surviving on mint teas (peppermint, wild bergamot, horsemint, etc) and pine needle teas. I also wish to plant a permanent patch of comfrey. But, I really need to get actual tea plants again, in moveable pots, and learn to process them in various ways.

I'm really at a lose when it comes to store bought teas. Around this rural area there's only 3 brands and they are all, "meh". Thus, I'd need to order online.

You don't have to be the mother of a child to stop him/her when he/she gets too close to something hazardous.

You're being a pretentious smart ass for no reason. He asked for your opinion on why it was so bad.

>"yeah so I hate Muslims"
>"why? What's so bad about them?"
>"im not here to educate you, go watch the news."

That's what you're acting like, just fuck off with your dumbass tea problems.

Probably never had good quality tea to understand the difference between a brand and a good one.

If you'd clicked on the link in the OP you'd instantly see all the stuff about it. There's nothing else in the first page of searches.

Stop being a complete moron.

I use these for most teas.
Also, a good source of loose leaf teas, if you're in the US or Canada. I like Pu erh and CTC Assam, or dragon pearls.

>i'm too lazy to click on a link and need to be spoonfed

just brewed up some black tea + p. cubensis tea. added a bit of honey, and it's pretty tastey way to end the day.

Sounds pretty trippy.

>Time for loose teas. What are your favorite tea blends, /ck/?
I don't usually drink blends, but nice single variety, unflavoured stuff. Assam Broken is my favourite black tea (which also great since it's cheap) and my favourite green tea is Gyokuro (which unfortunately is not so cheap). If you like green tea definitely try gyokuro once, even if it's a bit expensive. The flavour is so nice, full, creamy and flowery. Doesn't even ompare to sencha.
East frisian blends are pretty awesome, though. Perfect with whipped cream.

Can't you repeatedly steep gyokuro a lot, so the price evens out?

>Can't you repeatedly steep gyokuro a lot
Yes, but you also need more leafs per water than for most other teas, namely up to 10g per 60ml of water (I use a lot less, though), so that evens out. In the end it is definitely among the most expensive infusion teas.

You didn't even link to a fucking website, you linked to a google search you fucking nigger, at least link to the information you're trying to give us for fucks sake... Some people...

Faggot.

Oh I see, you don't actually want us to read any of the articles, just look at the headlines and form bullshit reactionary opinions like you did.

Got.Cha.

Some writefag on /co/ spammed a Korra thread with his crazy-ass Bart/Lisa lemon one time. It ruined the show forever, now I can never watch the Simpsons again.

instead of using coffee filters which will add a paper taste to your beverage, buy a steel strainer and pour through it from another cup or a kettle.

>>6504711
If I Google "loose tea dangers" I'd get a lot of articles too.

>>6504728
Genmaicha is great. I need to try and compare green teas from other countries, so far I wouldn't know the difference.

>>6505388
Yeah, I don't understand why people buy it. I guess it is cheap or something and they don't really care.

Yeah, I hunted up my tea ball for this stuff. I've been ripping the plastic open and dumping the contents into the tea ball and going from there. No problems now. Other than it being subpar tea of course.
