Go make yourself a cup of tea. What kind of teas have you been drinking lately? Do you use any kind of special cup for tea?

>> No.6761010

Chinese and Japanese Green Tea, Turkish black tea

Complete with a 茶海.

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

>> No.6761038

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.

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
