dog living dangerously

I steep 3 minutes but that's because I like it strong. I can't imagine who goes for 5

thanks!

honestly, type doesn’t really factor in to quality. bagged teas are usually pretty bad. loose leaf is usually decent to great

thanks for this, i love green tea but not knowing what ones are good stops me from really getting into it

so i only made 1 cup of rice at a time which is less than 15mins in my rice cooker and used a heaping tsp of sencha. it was mild and grassy but i can see how leaving it in longer would overbrew it

oh how'd the sencha rice turn out that sounds easy and intriguing but also like it might overbrew the tea

agree!

oolong is pretty cool imo

i got to eat a few tea-flavoured ice creams too

things i've cooked with tea:

rice plus sencha in the rice cooker

matcha biscotti

earl grey cupcakes

ochazuke

I never use sugar lol just milk if it’s a tea that wants milk

for some reason i feel like milk and sugar ought to be a package deal. black tea is fine, and tea with milk and sugar is good too, but tea with just one or the other always strikes me as odd

completely unrelated: the true anti-imperialist practice is to take the colonizer's method of tea preparation and make it better. masala chai for life~

there's tea that needs milk and tea better without milk and I like the latter better lol

my favourite oolong is tieguanyin (the one that's a bit closer to green tea) but my fav hot tea is actually jasmine tea. i love the smell!!

deliciose

I will copy this, this is what has been missing from my life.

what's ur favorite hot tea

i'm guessing it's oolong so what's your favorite oolong since it seems to be one of the types with quite a bit more variance

i will try this!!

mod suggestion: drink tea

<333

my top lifehack is that i drink hot tea every day right after waking up, before it gets too hot

now i want tea

you are valid and we love you
