It's been some time since the last thread...

As for your question, right now I'm drinking a chinese green tea Yunnan.

matter of fact, I have tea.
brb.

>>33946152
Ginger tea from 2002

Classic black tea

Black and Blue tea.

>>33948488
(fuck, wrong image.)

>>33948496
but months are different lengths how can there be one exactly every month?

>>33948780
every 28 days

>>33948780
You can get that by using a lunar calendar.

>>33948802
29 and a half days, actually.

>>33948780
Most Gregorian months are longer than 29 days, meaning you do sometimes get two of them in one month. But this only happens once in a blue moon.

>>33948956
pun intended.

Gin and tonic water ;_;

Has any of you tried drinking tea with liquor in it? Somebody recommended putting a little limoncello in black tea the other day.

>>33946152
Had some Punjab tea with home-dried sassafras leaves this morning. I got the Punjab tea at an Indian grocery store. It has a kind of acerbic tinge to it similar to jasmine, but without the flowery note and with more of a traditional green tea note instead.

You've gotta try rum in tea. The British army calls it gunfire. 25 mL's worth should be plenty unless you REALLY want to be buzzing off your tea.

>>33950932
Any specific types of tea that go well with rum? I have never actually tried rum myself.

>unless you REALLY want to be buzzing off your tea
I didn't post Suika for nothing.

>>33951111
Nice quads!
>Any specific types of tea that go well with rum?
Absolutely use black tea. Don't bother with green tea and rum, green tea isn't good blended with much save for some herbs and possibly other types of teas.

The flavor of rum is hard to describe, it's one of those sui generis flavors, like how "root beer" tastes like the soda root beer and nothing else. It's a vaguely molasses, pineapple, coconut flavor with a bunch of unique fruit flavors in there, of course accompanied by the harsh note of the alcohol.

>I didn't post Suika for nothing.
Okay, if you really want to get shitfaced, use whatever proportion of rum you want in your tea. I'm just suggesting 25-50 mL of rum per mug's worth of tea as best for flavor's sake: enough that you can taste the flavor of the rum, but not so much that you're drinking boiling hot liquor diluted with tea.

>>33950795
No, I don't see the point.
Then again, I don't drink in the first place.

I really like Jasmine tea, that's what I've been drinking recently. Oolong is good too. And I never get tired of black tea. I started using maple syrup to sweeten it and it's great. Now I want to try it with rum, thanks for the idea.

>>33946152
Girls sip, I quaff.

>>33950795
I tried mixing a flavored seltzer beer with (herbal)tea and hoping it tasted less like watered down kuso, but it didn't work that well.

I can't drink Tea because it's too hot for me and the moment it's drinkable it's way too cold.

>>33952173
Dude, come on.
If you use a stove, heat on 3-4 for about 5-7 minutes.

>>33950795
I had some irish cream laying around, and tried putting some in my oolong today because I didn't feel like coffee. It worked fine, but would probably have tasted better with a stronger tea.

>>33947833
finely aged.

>>33951636
>mixing a flavored seltzer beer with (herbal)tea
I don't know what you expected that to taste like, it sounds absolutely vile. If you don't like tea, you don't like tea. If you need to choke it down, just throw a ton of sugar in it like a normal person instead of whatever you were trying to do there.

My comment about adding liquor wasn't so much for the sake of getting drunk off tea so much as it was to add a constructive flavor that harmonizes with the tea.

>>33951636
You gotta sip tea. If it's cool enough to quaff, it's too cold to drink.

>>33953113
I thought he was saying it was the beer that tasted like watered down kuso and he was mixing it with tea to make the beer more palatable. But I guess if he's trying to quaff it he's probably a beer guy rather than a tea guy in the place.

I mixed the already flavored water beer with similarly flavored herbal, that is not tea leaves, tea hoping the beer would be what tested less vile. Also iced tea is better than hot tea.

>>33946152
I only drink beer and gatoraid.

Been having some of my usual green tea.

Any of you gypsies tried genmatcha? How does it compare to other teas

>>33951146
Whats your take on using white or dark rum?

>>33955773
I hate it. Way worse than regular green tea (such as sencha)
The rice adds a toasty tone that I don’t like and spoils the clean taste of the tea. It’s also pretty horrible to clean out the soaked retains.

>>33953113
I just get shitfaced on rump and chamomile now. Would recommend.

>>33961753
I always use dark rum, personally. I've never tried white rum.

>>33952173
baka

>>33963395
Aaaaaaan I am tipsy now. This stuff works fellas

>>33963395
>>33969809
Interesting, I drink a lot of chamomile. I always feel sick in the morning, and chamomile with mint calms my stomach. Maybe I'll drink some with rum at night, could be good.

>>33970023
I'm a school teacher and I have a little speech condition so tea is a necessary item for my survival. Sometimes there quite literally weren't enough hours in the day to both calm my aching throat with tea *and* get pissed, so I had to devise that method. It works, though, you should try it. I do recommend white rum for it.

green tea. helps with my acne and energizes me throughout the day.

>>33950795
A bit of whiskey goes well in a good black tea. Add honey (and optionally lemon) and you have the classic hot toddy, which is a good traditional remedy for cough and cold symptoms.

Kalami Assam is my go-to, but I've also been enjoying the occasional cup of lapsang souchoung recently.

>>33946152
PG tips with a spoon of sugar and a little milk. I use to drink green tea, but I haven't had any in a year or so.

Imperial mojiang golden bud is my go to daily drink. Still pissed at Yunnan that one of my big orders disappeared at a Chinese airport during shipping last year.

>helps with my acne
Does it? Skeptical but intrigued.

Twinings classic Irish Breakfast.

>>33989748
Very nice, sipping some of that right now. Or I will once it's cooled down at least.

Plain rooibos. Sometimes mushroom tea. I like to drink it from a flask while feeding ducks.

Drinking "Formosa Oolong" that i got from a local place a while ago. It's tasty

>>33954746
You're not getting rid of those calories.

Gweenteee

Coca Cola Espuma

>>34002731
coffee

I want Baku's tea

>>33946152
I just woke up at 2 PM like a true neets and now I am gonna drink some green tea.
Living the /jp/ dream ~

Do you add anything to your tea?

Sipping milky Yorkshire Gold, it's not fancy but I like it. A bit too much caffeine for this hour though, I'm buzzed now. Picture not related, I just love pretty tea cups and hope to start a collection one day.

>>34018366
I might do a bit of honey in green teas, and chai of course takes milk and sugar. But otherwise, no.

>>34022016
what is this pink tea?

>>34024195
I don't recall, it might be a specialty rose variety. I wish it were my photo.

>>33946152
Just some cheap earl grey. But I gifted black loose tea to a friend that typically only drinks bagged and he loved it!

>>34002745
more like e-sperm-a

>>34025061
>a friend

>>34025443
What's up anon?

>>34025443
I'll be your friend.

>>34025486
we're the only friends you need
never speak to him again

>>34025589
I'm not him but don't worry anon, 'cause of Covid I haven't spoken to my irl friends more than 5 or 6 times in a whole year.

>>34024673
too bad, looks nice and teas that look nice tend to drink nice too.

>>33947833
sugoi, its older than me!

>>33946152
I had some nice Oolong today.

>>34023034
>milk and sugar
I've tried sugar before I think but I don't think I've tried milk.

>>34035030
Are you really 18 anon

>>34035030
a-anon I...
>>34038306
heavier teas pretty much need milk, I.E: Ginger tea, cinnamon..

>>34038536
Milk goes well with cinnamon? I'll try it later tonight.

>>34025600
>friends
you have MULTIPLE!?

>>34038536
It's funny, I had a ginger pu-erh once and I don't think I ever thought to try it with milk or anything. I just enjoyed it the way it was, nothing added.

>>34041305
I'm so sorry...

come on.

>>33950932
Tea with rum is great. Thanks! And you're right about 25ml being plenty. Anything more than that and your tea you will just taste like boiling hot alcohol.

>>34056378
Hell yeah buddy, I'm opening the bottle for tonight. Bottom's up!

Guyssssssss I'm sooooo drunk

>>33952173
stupid dumb maid

>>34066254
Don't talk to Sakyun like that!

>>34038536
Yeah you were right anon, ginger tea and milk go together wonderfully.
