What sort of tea do you prefer?
 

Just curious. For example, I like Ivan Tea.

Good sencha, good oolong. Yesterday I paid $60 for a variety of good teas :-)

Earl grey, hot

Earl grey here as well

My wife likes Akbar and Ahmad. Both British and both have some... Muslim(?) names :upsidedow

She hates 'em in tea bags, while I like tea bags for their convenience and practicality.

Psilocybe tea

Arizona 99 cent RX energy Iced Tea..

If in tea bags then I use good old Lipton, but when in leaves form then I go with Basilur (I dont think its a well known brand)

The preliminary steps of making beer count as tea . . .

Green with honey and lemon.

OMG! Why didn't I know!! I'm buying this asap!!

DescriptionPu'er or pu-erh is a variety of fermented tea traditionally produced in Yunnan Province, China

Pau d'arco, i credit this shit (tastes like wet cardboard) for saving my life, literally. Started drinking it when i was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now i don't have it ?

6-8 cups a day for the past 15 years and it still tastes like cardboard!!!

Jasmine, Lemon Ginger, Red Zinger (basically berries) & Orange Pekoe

be careful with buying this stuff on AliExpress
Much of chinese tea contains tons of Insecticide

Well you need to triple rince some puer tea.
The Chinese tea is very light

For a first time? Then here is my advice: don't sniff it if you don't like a smell of dirty socks, just drink it ;) And don't drink too much, because this shit is strong.

I would also recommend you these (the are very serious stimulators, so consume responsibly): Sagan Daylya and Golden Root.

Twinings English Breakfast. Went through an Earl Grey phase but now back on the straight and narrow.

Okay, well first of all, keep all your darn fruit of out tea. If you want fruit, you should have a juice. Its refreshing and tasty.
Keep tea as tea.
Two ways are nice.
1) Chinese green tea, twigs and sticks, left to slowly infuse and leave it in the cup. Enjoy that just as it is, no milk.
2) Normal English way. Boilding water on bag, infuse for a minute or two. Bag out and splash of milk. Not too much. Its not a fucking milkshake!!
Thompsons Punjana is great.
Sainsburys red label tea is good
Twinging English breakfast tea is nice too.
Earl gray is like tea strained through old womans hose. Grim indeed

Green teas for me, but I do like an occasional Earl Grey.

Iced green tea ... :winkwink:

Dilmah Ceylon Tea

you can´t beat a nice cup of good ole PG tips, maybe yorkshire or Tetley, I don´t like Typhoo for normal teas, i don´t like green, it´s weak. I don´t like herbals.


So just give me a nice cup of PG any day :)

I don't understand the cold tea thing. Tea must be hot like coffee or glint-vine. If I want something cold and fleshing, I drink kvass. Going to fridge right now to take a bottle of home-brew kvass. It's healthy (I make it from natural ingredients only) and tastes like a holy nectar.

:pimp

Share you kvass recipe, badass . . .

All Russians are tea junkies. Here is what we drink at home (my personal humble supplies).

https://a.radikal.ru/a07/2008/2e/926d9f7aa816.jpg

1) A 100% natural wort. It's made from fermented rye flour, rye malt + water. and that's all, it does not contain any other components. I usually buy it in packs like this:

https://avatars.mds.yandex.net/get-z...336/scale_1200

2) 3 liters of clean water.

3) 2/3 glass of sugar.

4) Mix 1,2 and 3 together

5) Pour 1 spoon of yeast.

6) Wait for 24 (sweeter, about 0.5%-1.5% of alcohol) or 36 hours (a bit sour, more alcohol).

7) Filter and pour it into bottles, close 'em hermetically and put in the fridge for 8 more hours.

Voilà - a super-duper tasty, cold, fizzy, freshing and healthy kvass is ready! It tastes million times better than cola and other shit we usually use to clean toilets (this is not a joke, cola is really very effective WC cleaner - try in and you see I'm not kidding). Kvass does contain a lot of C and B vitamins. Just note, there is some % of alcohol too, so we don't drink it if we age going to drive a car.

I made this one yesterday:

Fellows, fellows guess what tea is this?

Drink in morning, drink in evening

Ну матэ это. Сильно на любителя. Ну а листья коки ты тут не купишь. Так что не надо заливать насчет каждого утра и вечера. Краснодарский край, это не Колумбия и не Венесуэла.

Yes, yes you can try this tea only in special regions. My region is not out of this. Too sad

I'm hooked on Bengal Spice Tea like a box every 2 days hooked :)

I drink coffee, in fact often all I used to drink in a day was coffee, now I switch in about 4 pots of Bengal Spice.

Its like hot curry drink. yum yum, lov or hate thing

Lot of tea snobs in this thread.

Us humans do not ferment after we perish. In my opinion that makes us inferior.

How do you make your own natural wort ? ?

Speciality of Hainan?

I don't do wort and always buy it, because I don't want to spend time on it. It always easier to buy. Like you never make your own wheat flour. you just buy it in the nearest shop. The same with wort.

On the other case, you can do kvass w/o any wort at all. Just take 300 grams of rye bread, slice it into small pieces, dry them in the oven til brown and grind into a powder. Use that powder instead of wort according the same recipe. You'll get a classic Russian kvass, which is being consumed here for 1000 years.

As an alternative, you can buy a commercial kvass in bottles or cans. But it's a dead drink - some artificially carbonated and pasteurized liquid with dyes, stabilizers, preservatives and other chemical poison. Not much better than cola. Actually... "Coca Cola Russia" produces its own kvass:

A home-made one is absolutely natural and it's alive. Like a champagne.

P.S. If you still want to make your own wort, here are some standard recipes for you: https://translate.google.com/transla...noe_suslo.html - the Infusion method is the simplest one and you can do it at home. Course if you have enough free time for it...

You and my beautiful Russian wife.
