Pardon me? Only uncultured american teenagers who don´t know anything about good taste believe such utter nonsense! What “tea” are you drinking anyway? Must be the dust they collect after sweeping the floor of the packing plant and then put in teabags to sell it to people who know nothing about tea. Do yourself a favour, go and buy some nice loose leaf Darjeeling, FTGFOP or even better SFTGFOP, prepare it properly and apprechiate something truly good, maybe it´s not too late and your taste can still be saved …
Mean while, me: chasing the perfect origin flavor from beans only from specific farms around the world, roasting only to city or city+, takeing notes with each grind mil size and brew time and brew method, constantly chasing such small and slight subtle changes, completely convinced that I’m ever getting closer to the perfect cup.
It’s about 70$ per 2 lbs of un roasted beans. And I don’t want to figure out how invested into equipment.
More recent me: yerba mate… welp time to invest in a nice kalabash and buy every blend under the sun ! And start the chase for the perfect brew !!
If you are drinking tea for the caffeine content it’s best to steep the bag for as long as possible, iirc it takes about 15 minutes for ~95% of the caffeine to extract. One teabag usually has 60-80mg of caffeine so equivalent to one cup of instant coffee.
Sleep is the condition where you lose consciousness for a few hours, allegedly allowing your body and mind to rest. They say you then ‘wake up refreshed.’ Yeah, I know. These peasants will never stop finding excuses to avoid work.
Funny. I stopped drink energy drinks few years ago. I started going night shifts, and I used energy drinks and coffee. Then, I once said to myself I don’t like the taste of energy drinks. I stopped drink energy drinks just in one day. Never have then since. Five years and still counting. On the other side, I started slightly drink more coffee.
I love the giant, inexpensive tins of ceylon tea at my local international market. If you can afford it, buy a bottle of rose water to add to the tea. Perfection. And of course, don’t throw away the leaves - steep them again - the second steeping is even better than the first one.
