Definitely gonna try that homemade Hojicha idea though. I just didnt realize gunpowder was seen as such an inferior tea.

It`s not inferior, just different. I have both types available... I drink hojicha as my normal brew then use my decent bancha for hangovers and when I have a girl around in the morning

It technically is, it's a leaf infusion.
You can also have root tea, seed tea, herb tea, etc.

not that it matters to me, i consider rooibos, mint, etc forms of tea, but if you're speaking "technically", no
"Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis"

i'm big on the herbal and fruity teas - tisanes and all that loose-leaf shit.
lemongrass and ginger, one sugar, is pretty nice to chill out with on a cold day at the desk.

I'm liking Tesco's Captain Scott's strong blend. I've never tried a 'fruity' or green tea or anything other than normal tea

this rooibos stuff though, never heard of it. how's it taste?
I have just discovered earl grey as i'm not much of a tea drinker. Its surprising how nice it is with soya milk rather than normal milk
