TEA!

[BaronVon]

i think im gonna try some of that stuff baron linked... looks authentic. and maybe some of that rooibos (although a big reason i drink tea is for caffeine).

also i want to confess my sin of using a shit ton of sugar

Go for the Yunnan black teas if you like a bit of sugar. Also the first one I linked has ginseng in it so has a little sweetness. Enjoy.

What do y'all pay for your fine teas?

I pay anything from £5 - £30 for 100g of black, green and oolong. I have paid a lot more for Pu'erh tea.

Some Pu'erh goes for thousands of pounds.

I wouldn't go with any brands. Especially not tea bags. If you want some serious loose tea at a very good price I highly recommend this shop http://www.yunnansourcing.com/store/

If you put milk in your tea forget the above

ah, this man knows about tea... none of that tea bag bullshit with milk, lemons and confetti

i like a good ginseng oolong (blue people/919) in the morning and a good purple pu-er at night

agreed about the yunnan mountain teas. my dad loves that stuff because of the caramel after taste... some of those trees are ANCIENT

Ginseng oolong is the shit. Try that one i posted it's absolutely exquisite. I get about 8 brews out of it as well. It only starts opening up after the 3rd or 4th infusion.

I haven't tried their Tea but from looking at the prices they seem to be exorbitant. Uji Sencha can be bought for less than £20 for 100g and they are selling a 250g bag at £103
Their Yunnan Gold is twice the price of Yunnan Sourcing's.
I'm sure it's fantastic tea but

Tea's the shit.

I love tea but it's hard to find good tea in Thailand. It's all green tea shit. (which is fine but come on you want a good cup of Yorkshire tea or Assam daily)

Also, every time I try to order tea in Thailand (Char) they bring me Chang beer because apparently Char and Chang sound the same and because I'm white I obviously want a beer, even if it's first thing in the morning lol.

[hutyluty]

i really want to like yorkshire tea but tbh its rubbish

All about tetley/pg tips

[Doozle]

Standard Tetley or PG Tips. Strong, no sugar, ta.

Fuck fancy teas

feel exactly the opposite except I don't really mind that they taste like shit, they can do what they want as long as they don't find their way into my mug.

[Doozle]

Yorkshire tea kinda tastes like washing up liquid hasn't been washed out of the cup properly.

I am a tea fanatic and drink up to 10 cups a tea! I probably have 40/45 teas in my house. I drink a lot of green tea and peppermint tea. Hit me up - i'm a tea doctor

P.s i've started drinking matcha tea which is, if i'm right, 15 cups of green tea in one shot.

Matcha feels like a miracle drug. It's great.

[Shum]

PG Tips at home. No sugar.

Twinings lemon and ginger (plus honey) when I'm feeling a bit sniffly.

English breakfast at cafes.

It really is... ! give me lots of energy for about 6/7 hours. Great thing is you can put it in anything... i've heard of matcha cookies

[dsprainman]

But the sustained energy doesn't come with that crackhead feeling that coffee gives me sometimes. Best stuff ever.

they say that matcha tea can help coffee 'addicts' because it give them the same ish boost, instead of cold turkey

I miss Cha Yen. The only time I ever drink Tea with Milk and Sugar (condensed milk) My 7 Eleven used to hate me, I used to get the cups meant for coke and fill it to the brim with Cha Yen, but being the white man they didn't want to lose face and tell me I was doing it wrong. Sometimes it pays to be farang.
The tea generally sucks in Thailand though. Laos has the good stuff.
