/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Chinese and Japanese Green Tea, Turkish black tea

Complete with a 茶海.

Fucking tea secondaries everywhere

i hate OP

i'm more of a coffee man but sometimes i drink earl grey without suger,milk,lemon,w/e.

I don't have a special cup for tea but i've got a special mug for the first drink of the day be it coffee or tea

I'm using some unspecified black tea but I don't know what variety it is since it was a present, so I don't know much about the water temperature or infusion time it requires.
I'm troubled but so far it turned out pretty good.

I've got several flavors of Zhena's Gypsy Tea here (having some coconut chai right now), most of it is quite good stuff.

Been drinking plenty of white and a little red. No special cups for me since I don't have a tea pot or even a kettle. I just heat my water in the microwave...

At work, so no tea until I'm off. I usually drink whatever green tea is on sale at the market. I have some green tea with mint back home.

im using tetley tea

Gunpowder Tea

Chocolate milk.

Awwww.

As long as the taste is good, it's alright! When drinking tea, don't worry about anything. Just relax.

>>6761048
Microwave!? Does the water taste the same as boiled in a kettle or something alike?

>>6761049
What kind of job? Office where you can't drink or..?

>>6761063
As far as I can tell, it tastes the same. I'm sure that it depends on the kettle and teapot though, since metal containers give a metallic taste sometimes and so on.

Yunnan this week. Neat.

>>6761070
Hmm. I suppose it makes sense. I need to test this out. I will post results later on!

Tea sure is otaku culture.

Long Island

I love "iluvOP, I hope you had a great start to the year.
Please keep on being the best.

Chrysanthemum tea is the best.

>>6761101
iluvOP is pretty much the only tripfag I can stand

>>6761144
do you know he also posted as Scandaroon? Mod agreed.

>>6761101
He talked about killing himself earlier this year.

>>6761152
No way?

I know once he posted agreeing he didn't want to "wake up anymore cause reality sucks" or something of the like, and I was devastated, cause he is usually so happy.

I hope he isn't having issues. I wish I could be there for him.

I usually drink sencha or emperors bride, other than that just whatever I feel like buying to try out. I received some white tea as a christmas present from my mother so I'll have it now, though (its called pai mu tan or something like that). I brew it for about 3 minutes. The temperature of the water is about 80c. I use the same leaves 3 times.
My cup isn't that special, but it has a "hat" that holds the leaves and thus I don't need to use a tea ball.

Loose leaf Earl Grey with cognac.

>>6761101
D'awww. I love you too!

>>6761163
Yes, my plans were to kill myself at the end of the year. BUT as usual. I didn't have enough courage to do it. Thus I am very mad at myself. Since I was unable to do it. I decided to have the best end of the year ever!

>>6761165
Classy! You enjoy your tea to the fullest.

>>6761166
cognac...never tried that. Sounds quite adventurous!

Tea threads are works of the Devil, because whenever i see them i start craving tea.

And then i can't fall asleep

I've been spending the last two days trying to take off viruses from my computer. I did a restore install, and was transferring files to prepare for a reformat but I got an error about a file path being too long. Stupid doujinshi. I should just take it easy and remove everything bit by bit, I have more than one computer anyway.

I haven't had any tea this year so far.

>>6761237
Sensitive to caffeine?

The main concern with heating water in a microwave is that it won't bubble until well above boiling temperature so you have to be careful of that.

>>6760986
some black tea with blackberry tea bags that i picked up from the store, inspired by beatrice. I haven't bought any loose tea leaves in a few months now.

>>6761237
Once you get used to chugging down a few mugs of coffee a day you can drink as much tea as you want without consequences.

>>6761266
I've already figured out how long to keep the water in so it doesn't get too hot so things generally end up just fine. I'd like to get a proper kettle sometime soon though.

Bothers my ulcer. Not as bad as coffee, though, that shit's battery acid.

Basically anything as long as it's not blended, that's blasphemy. Though at the moment I'm enjoying myself with some Taiping Hou Kui.

I find myself able to fall asleep much easier after a cup of tea, including black, and I very seldom drink coffee

>Basically anything as long as it's not blended, that's blasphemy.
Eh? Care to explain yourself a bit?

>>6761224
I made it just for you~

>>6761416
How does it feel to know I'm masturbating to your fingers?

>>6761070
The heated metal extracts calcium from the water. If tap water in your region is of particularly high hardness, boiling in a kettle is recommended.

>>6761380
Just my own preference I guess, nevermind me, I'm stupid for saying that in the first place.
Though if I remember correctly, blending is a little frowned upon in China.
As if that makes a difference.

>>6761416
Nice cup, anon. I just use a coffee cup, microwaved water, and bagged tea. Of the few I've tried, Irish Breakfast is my favorite.

If only "iluvOP didn't post Saten so much. All of the spam /jp/ continuously experiences has caused me to cringe at the sight of Railgun.

Just got some Earl Grey Windamere, it's Earl Grey with a few leaves of some sort of white tea.
It's magnificent.

>>6761416
Thanks!
Though this is making my eyes wet! ;_;
Stupid lovely anon! I love you.

>>6761087
Yes, there are tea otaku too.

>>6761436
Just for you, hand fetish anon.

I have a tankard full of homemade mead. I fucked this batch up its way too dry.

green tea with christmas flavour at the moment

>>6761599
Hey! That banana is fake...

>>6761536
in b4 "Otaku is a term reserved for VNs, Touhou, etc."

>>6761620
Isn't mead supposed to be dry, because it ferments so slowly?

>>6761535
How pretty are you "iluvOP?

Cause, I imagine you are so dreamy.
