Darjeeling is nice. I've only had two or three cups of it but I really liked it. I can't describe the flavor as anything other than pleasant, I'm sorry for that. The leaves looked more like an oolong than a black tea.

Do any of you smash the tea bags to get the extra flavor/juice out of it when making green tea? I've found that when I so this it leaves an irritating film in my throat when I drink it hot so I stopped doing it and just lift them out and throw them away now.

Doing so will release more of the bitter tannins which plague incorrectly-brewed green tea (and tea in general, really). So nah, don't do that.

Green tea is pretty much the one tea type I never put milk in. It's just no good like that. Then again I also don't like green tea ice cream or anything else with the combination of flavor.

Do it hot, then let it cool. If you enjoy milk tea, you can add milk and ice to help it cool down faster. Or just more milk.

>> No.8574159

>>8574125
Pretty much the latter. I find some teas taste better cold than hot actually and vice versa. For example for me, green and lemon teas taste really good only when they're fresh and hot; but assam, earl grey, various other kinds of black teas and chai are perfectly palatable cold.

I've also found that the hottest tapwater possible can usually also steep tea alright, only it should be a bit mellower and cool off faster.

You can do either. I think tea that is cold brewed will only get bitter after being in the water for a very, very long time like 12 or more hours and that's if it even gets bitter. I've never had a cold brewed tea turn out bitter, but I'm not saying it can't happen.

I always use one and a half to twice the amount of tea when I cold brew. I always do it in some 1 liter glass jars with sealed lids so I can give the tea a nice shake every now and then and check the color and leaves. A few hours after they've become completely unfurled is when I strain, and that usually takes anywhere from 6-8 hours at room temperature.

Talking about iced tea really made me wish for warmer weather. Nothing quite like waking up in a hot room and sipping on some cold green tea while looking at the computer screen with blurred eyes.

Then at night relaxing with some cold mugicha. I wonder when it'll start to get warmer...
