Rooibos is pretty awesome, I gotta admit.

Definitely need other teas for variety (and caffeine).

I just recently tried this and I gotta say it's pretty good.

Also Ostfriesentee, though it's a really strong black tea so it's best not to let it steep for more than a couple minutes.

>> No.726057

coffee is only sort of tea I consume.
it basically is tea - roasted palnts, grounded and then poured over with hot water.
kinda like gunpowder.

i like tea.

>> No.726589

Rooibos is not a real tea. Like chamomile or herbal "teas" is not a true tea. But it is delicious and contains lots of antioxidants. Unfortunately, it contains no caffeine and it causes drowsiness, which is counterproductive for serious reading. Green tea is preferable for reading as it sharpens the mind and improves reading comprehension.

The only problem is green tea taste like crap without sugar.

>> No.726601

>>726593

You must be using some very low quality green tea. Good green tea tastes delicious by itself. The trick is to steep it no longer than two minutes. After two minutes, you release the bitter tannins that ruin the flavor. This is the opposite of Rooibos, which tastes best when steeped for as long as 20 minutes.

I often steep for as little as 60 seconds. It depends on the particular tea blend. It's worth experimenting. The longer you steep, the more bitter the tea will be. I cringe when I see people leave their tea bags soaking while they drink. I can't imagine how bitter that must be.

i prefer my tea strong and bitter, though i dont leave it in, that would make it stronger and stronger as the drinkin goes on.
i just steep for a longass time, then drink
