Tartar Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 A thread for the tea aficionados out there. A safe haven where we can talk about tea while we ponder the existence of life and our place in the universe. A place where we can embrace our inner love of tea, and express our devotion to this most magnificent of drinks through whatever medium we find appropriate. So let us bask in the glory of cured leaves steeped in hot water. As a wise man once said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexagoen Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Call me uncultured, but i really really like iced tea. I know it isnt really considered tea (more like its own style of drink, but its technically still tea) but pour me a glass (or two or three) of sweet tea and i'll die happy.

Hiss13 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I have never had a cup of tea I didn't like. Also, coffee is objectively terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartar Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 I really love brewing apple tea with cinnamon and star anise ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 @Tartar That sounds wonderful! I have had the option to drink coffee, but have always refrained on principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickCrash Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I have yet to try a cup of tea I like. The water does not change much in taste, but I can appreciate the scent. Other than that, what's all this fuss about tea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartar Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Tea can be made in many different ways outside of the traditional green and black tea varieties people mostly drink. It can be infused with different flavors outside of the tea leaves, and sweeteners can be added to enhance the flavor.The culture of tea stretches back millennia, and the drink has been consumed by kings and peasants alike, and is today the most consumed beverage outside of water in the world. I don't exactly know where you live, nor the tea culture in your country. But if you're interested in trying different varieties of tea, and finding out whether it's something for you, i recommend you go to a tea shop, or a dedicated tea-house and try various types of tea, and thus get a taste for it. I'm sure there's something for you our there. Tea can be delicious, but tea of poor quality or one that is improperly brewed can really turn one off of tea. And from what you describe, as the tea you've tasted tasting like water, this may just be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hycrox Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Spearmint tea. 'Nuff said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughJ Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I have yet to try a cup of tea I like. The water does not change much in taste, but I can appreciate the scent. Other than that, what's all this fuss about tea? Try green tea sometime. If you get a cup at the right place it's almost strong enough to taste like soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventurer Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Mostly black tea. Sometimes green tea. I'm drinking a good one right now. A black tea with citrus. Very nice flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
