Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 79624686 Japan 01/23/2022 08:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Organic Gunpowder Green from Harney and Son's, had my first cup this morning, actually 2 cups. I cannot sweeten or cream green teas, the sharp taste for me is just perfect without it, I imagine this is what it would be like to drink coffee black for the coffee drinkers. Needs nothing. Nothing beats the loose leaf, the republic of tea pictured is in bags, I wasted $14 on that but the Gunpowder Green is just what the alertness doctor ordered. I feel high as fuck on this, makes me want to talk a lot and clean, I even feel a poop coming on for the third time this morning. Excuse me while I kiss the throne, du na na, na na na, Jimmy Hendrix. I need a brand that sells Japanese loose leaf please! [link to imgur.com (secure)] [link to imgur.com (secure)] |

Roobios is an herbal, no caffeine at all. Maybe I should just drink that? [link to imgur.com (secure)] |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 79624686 Japan 01/23/2022 08:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For me, the key to a good cup of tea is decent water, not tap water. Better in a pot as well, I would say. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78508241 I've read this, I will pick up some filtered water today. Is temperature important too? Instructions have different temps, I know Jasmine is lower temp. These are the flavor profiles for Paris and Cherry Harney and Son's, my daughter drinks these I haven't tasted them yet.

Quoting: Imalittleteapot 79624686 Harney and Son's has a good variety of loose leaf black and flavors are delightful. I've never stayed up later in my life and woken up after less sleep with so much energy. I don't recommend drinking after 12 noon, I do need recommendations for an afternoon tea, now that I understand wtf this means. Harney and Son's Florence flavor tastes like Chocolate hazelnut with cream and sugar. Numi brand is nice too, I throughly enjoy the white tea however the caffeine content, even though white tea is less caffeinated, isn't helping me go to bed at a decent hour. Numi, white rose with cream and sugar taste like a rose flavored Turkish delight. I was very disappointed with the English breakfast, maybe I should try a loose leaf? Fuck tea bags, yey or ney? I say fuck tea bags. No herbal recommendations please, those are for the unrefined taste buds. Unless it's loose. Here is my collection, more on the way.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 79624686 Japan 01/23/2022 08:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We’re not really tea connoisseurs. We just drink standard black tea with milk and sugar. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72428475 I agree. This is where it's all at. That English Breakfast turned as black as coffee and had the feeling of drinking coffee with cream and sugar but not enough caffeine because it was in bags compared to the loose leaf. I will try this again with loose leaf. |
