Chryiss If there would be a lot of money, there would be no Kovid-19, we all could travel the world and try different types of tea and desserts. For example, go to Japan, there are many teas and desserts there are surprisingly many wagashi with only 200 kinds!

    Depends on the shop's specialty.

    My usual orders vary depending on the brand and store (which is a clear sign of how bad my addiction is).
    Usually, I like "tea" focused drinks, not sugar& syrup. Things that really bring out the tea or mix. Usually I get 50-75% and less ice. preferably no boba but I do enjoy pudding or crystal white pearls as add ons. Depending on the drink, aloe and grass jelly works too.

    Thankfully I've been blessed with a body that can drink milk but I naturally prefer almond, soy or oatmilk. (in fancy coffee shops I'll even take macadamia or cashew milk)

      ihateyounot Aw no :( being lactose intolerant but still drinking milk tea is a whole mood though. According to my friends, the pain is worth it LOL

      CCmei Yesss it definitely depends on the shop. I used to have a neighborhood boba store that I love, but they closed down recently ; ; I also have really love the stores that focus on the tea component and less sugar/syrup. + Pudding and grass jelly are just as good (can you see how indecisive I am). Almond and soy milk is amazing but I haven't tried oatmilk too often. Hm, I'll give it a try !

        Riiiiiight

        Like one shop I must have the mango snow slush
        This brand you should order the tea straight, with subtle flavors like blueberry jasmine

        Another is some herbal fruity drink with honey aloe

        This one gets matcha cheese foam lattes

        That one you have to order wintermelon kumquat with crystal pearls

        Another shop is famous for the brown sugar boba milk tea

        So what if my favorite teas are oolong and fancy florals- it all depends on the brand and shop. ( I feel like a bubble tea slut....)

        @_@

          I'm the type that would get so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of selections. I would stare at the menu for 30 minutes then end up getting the original milk tea... This is really making me crave boba aaaaaaargh

            It's a honey turmeric latte sort of morning so that's what I'm rummaging in my kitchen on my ONE day off a week.

            Continue staying safe where ever you are.

            Today I drank jasmine green tea and sencha.
            All the same, green tea goes very well in hot and sunny weather!

            I had a lavender latte from one of my college age favorite shops today. Very small but hipster looking shop, the kind featured on beautiful instagrams. To be fair it has a gorgeous natural upcycle patio.

            I stopped drinking it for almost 3 years bc I felt it got watered down. Today was delicious. Of course during covid time I could only get it to go.

            Lavender latte, preferably served strong with alt milk (I got whole milk today bc I was lazy but you can always customize. )

            THEN I WENT HIKING (expected 2 hours) AND MY COUSIN ALMOST FAINTED FROM OXYGEN DEPRIVATION and we stayed out there over twice as long in the hot sun slowly helping her back up. Maybe I should have gotten more caffeine.

              My wife's tea supply is finally dwindling because we're home all the time! She had a huge collection of random teas that she bought whenever we went to a different tea house.

              Finally seeing some empty space in one kitchen cabinet, lol.

                CCmei
                Don't get me wrong. We both drink tea. It's just that it accumulated since we were never home to drink it.
                There are some from who knows how long...

                  CCmei Rooibos is better to drink, it contains both sucrose and caffeine but does not increase pressure. 100 grams costs $ 7.5

                      It's a matter of opinion and availability?

                      Rooibos is not a popular nor commonly available option in many stores where I live. I'm sure we live in different areas. Then there are the different types of rooibos tea- price is not exact nor is taste.

                      To say one is better than the other is a biased opinion and not a fact. Practically every tea has its benefits and it's just up to the consumer what they prefer with what they have available.

                      For example, I like saffron tea as another reader talks about BUT it is not common here and would be very expensive.

                        CCmei Yes, you're right. We have tea deliveries from Russia, China, Indonesia.
                        My opinion is subjective. But I can’t have coffee, but Roibos can.

                        There are many types of tastes, it would be foolish to impose my taste on you. Since you live in your climatic conditions and I in mine (temperate zone). Yes, and we don’t have many of the finest varieties of tea that I saw in Vienna or Beijing or Osaka.

                        Since Iran and sanctions were lifted nearby, Afghanistan also began sending saffron for export. Then we have its price lower than say in Europe or Asia.

                        Yes, you can buy saffron in Russia.

                        1 gram = 10 dollars. So you can safely drink saffron tea (you can only drink it for 30 days in a row if that).

                        I like to drink - milk oolong, jasmine tea, sencha, matcha, thyme herbal tea, currant leaf tea, black long leaf tea from India (I don’t know the variety, it’s called on the box).

                        You probably like other tastes.

                        But I repeat, I can’t caffeine, and the rooibos that I drank gives me energy (coffee), energy. I liked this taste. We have 1 jar worth $ 7.5 for us, the price of tea with an average salary of $ 150-200 is relatively high. Usually they drink tea at a cost of 30 cents - $ 4.5 per 1 kg. And then a jar of 100 grams - $ 7.5.

                        Teas are not so branded, but so ordinary.

                        It’s like in India, you think you can buy loose tea in a small town, but in minimarkets, only the Taj Mahal (tea dust) is sold. At the same time, there is a big bazaar in New Delhi where you can wholesale the most exquisite leaf tea in India.

                        So I share your opinion. You have your own taste, I have your own.

                        But I really liked the rooibash that I drank. Unusual taste! I haven’t drunk this before! Very interesting taste.

                        If anyone wants to send me saffron tea that would be great T_T

                        In the meantime I can only go blah blah blah about the local teas I can get.

                        My mother is not my tea soul mate- all she does is make me make her stuff and complain to the point of gross burping and vomiting. The zodiacs are a lie- we don't really get a long.

                        If you don't like my ginger tea then ok, stop asking me to make it.

                          Tea is good, I like anything black or green. But my favorite one is African Roobios then again any Roobios tea is great.Then again I wouldn't say no to Darjeeling Tea either:) And yes I also love classical teamilk, tea boiled in milk. Bubble tea isn't that bad either:)

                          The only tea types I cant stand is fruity flavored ones. That's simply xxxxxxx.

                          Back to ginger and lemon. Think I used too much lemon this time... Added a spoonful of honey to tame dat sourness. I usually don’t add honey but hmhmyjyhihmhmhnyas dat hit da spot

                          Also: don’t be lazy and take the skin off your ginger lest it’ll end up stuck in your throat eugh
