I really don't get how can you drink a sour and tasteless tea? maybe my experience or the resources in the neighborhood i live in doesn't offer what you call tea or its just me and my tastebuds.
I rather drink some steamy hot coffee with a little bit of cocoa and milk.
This morning I got up a whole extra 2 hours early (obviously its the end of the world) meaning I had time to actually brew a nice cuppa tea before work ( and then back to the office to drown myself in earl grey and caffeine )
Today's tea is turmeric tea. Which is a blend of spicey spices, yummy yum, primarily turmeric since it's so vibrant and distinctive. Using Tumeric in anything colors it a vibrant shade of yellow, even if the ground powder may look shades of pale to orange. Use milk for that 'latte' richness- also you really should sweeten this with SOMETHING. It's just odd drinking spices and milk. I like honey
Cafe talks: The first time CC had a Tumeric Latte.
Twas a cold day in Belgium. Why the hell was I in Belgium? Oh god did that actually happen? WTF
Anyways twas a cold January morning in Belgium many a years ago. I had just arrived off one of the earliest trains and then the tram to Ghent. A gorgeous city steeped in history and medieval relics/architecture (as well as some pretty sick fashion shopping). Now as awesome as it would have been to just TOURIST NERD TIME- nothing was open, esp the churches/castles, it was just too early. But that's the perfect time for breakfast.
I led my small group to one of those local organic 'farm to table' communal places I searched up the night before. Very 'fashionable' in the rustic minimalism sort of place. Where the bread, butter and jams came easy and honestly tasted better than anything I could get back home. Hot damn what do they put in their bread? Crack cocaine?
On the menu was something I never seen before- for this was years back and 'Tumeric' lattes had not blown up yet where I'm from. As always- I was the only one brave/dumb enough to keep spontaneously trying new stuff I pass by.
Hot damn it was a terrifying shade of yellow curry in one of those huge artsy thick handmade pottery cups- oh but it was so good. So rich and good and now in the back of my mind when I try drinking turmeric lattes- a piece of me remembers some of God's best bread and Belgium winter mornings.
Sollkiri I know some teas can be sour, like citrus tea or citron tea or kombucha if you’re into it, but this is the first time I’ve heard that tea is tasteless. What kind of tea have you been drinking? I’d recommend pu’er if you want some strong and easily accessible tea. Jasmine green tea if you want something light and sweet. I hope you can enjoy tea as much as you enjoy coffee~ owo
CCmei that sounds wonderful. I’ve never had tea with spices before, since I’m bad with spice (and spicy things). Ginger’s my limit. The bread sounds heavenly~ And now I’m craving soft fluffy white bread... french toast. With a steaming cup of english breakfast on the side. A croissant... _(´ཀ`」 ∠)
Today's tea is Crysanthemum
IDK why my dad is making so much of this tea lately? Does he need to relaxation from being cooped in at home all day? XD
Meh I'll take/mooch bc I need it after work _*
Rose tea today. Smells great, as always.
Ran out of lemons so I used orange instead to make lemon orange and ginger tea. Didn’t taste quite right. Maybe I should’ve just do away with the ginger and made citrus tea. Or do away with the orange and made ginger tea. Either/or.
Edit: half a cup later, it’s growing on me. Not my new fav though.
Edit Edit: i thought it was familiar... the tea tastes like how the dishwasher soap I have at home smells. Um.
Today was office burnt coffee, fixed with caramel protein milk- wait the hell that's not a tea jsdfjawlkfslfkvsn
Ok, so today's tea is actually an iced barely tea. Very refreshing BUT, it's not just any mugicha....it's roasted black soybean flavor barely tea!!! Fancy yes.
My favorite barely tea is actually from my old workplace Lupicia, apple flavor.
CHRYSANTHEMUM TEA.

I drink saffron tea with Russian printed Tula gingerbread
CCmei You can just find saffron, add 15 stamens to the kettle, and add crystalline sugar.
We are fortunate that now Iran and Afghanistan export saffron to us! 1 pack with 1 gram of saffron costs $ 12.
Helloooooooo tea thread! Why is it so quiet here?
Haven’t had a lot of tea other than iced milk tea (bad idea but tastes good who cares) and chrysanthemum tea lately... I’m doinG aBsoLUteLY fINe.
((pls someone send me tea at least green tea i’d kill for an oolong right now h e l p))
I'm fasting and I need an idea for a drink. Anyone have an idea on how to make that? Yes, I have tea.
MaxwellKHA happy fasting~ don’t forget to drink a lot of water before and after fasting~
What ingredients do you have? The simplest yet tasty tea you can make at home is probably citrus tea. Lemon, lime, orange, passionfruit... anything citrus-y, really. I personally like lemon and ginger. If you like sweet, make milk tea! Milk and sugar, or just milk if you prefer less sweet.
People in this thread enjoy a variety of tea. Feel free to scroll through for ideas!
Lychee tea today. Yum.

crawling out from the pits of hell employment
Lychee tea is yum. I ad some second steep lychee black roasted tea on ice after my bath today (my very hot disinfectant bath). May everyone continue to enjoy the simple things in life we should not take for granted. Like tes.

Then you get a Hong Kong cafe/diner breakfast drink. Usually served dark and milky and hot. I know I know I was confused too when I first learned it was a thing.

Ginger for today, no lemons. I miss lemons but ginger tea by itself is also good.
Today I drank currant tea, good for digesting food.
