/fem/, could we discuss tea? What are your favorite kinds of teas?
Also, best things served with tea besides cucumber and cream cheese finger sandwiches.

I find dark chocolate goes surprisingly well with tea.

I really like flavored teas with little dried fruits in them even though I know they're only in there to mask the poor quality of the leaves.

>>51251>bitterThat's actually what I absolutely love about dark chocolate. I prefer it over milk and white has always been really gross to me. 86% dark is the most I've tasted.
I like sweets here and there, but truthfully I am not big on them. I prefer spicy or bitter foods and especially black coffee.

>>51254Neat. How much sugar do you put in your tea, if any? Personally I put 3-5 teaspoons, no matter what type of tea.

With things like oolong, sencha, chamomile, and this rose black tea I have? None.

>>51249Yeah, we don't have Teavanas where I live but we have what I imagine to be a similar store. Lots of stuff that's perfumed to smell like honey and chocolate, etc. "Real tea" is interesting to me but I don't know anything about it. The tea threads on /jp/ are exclusively about green tea, and even though I am a raging weeaboo the anglophile aesthetic is more interesting to me when it comes to tea, lol.

>>51260That sort of reminds me of how everyone swore up and down to me that green matcha was the best tea, hands down, and when I tried it it just tasted bland. Not even bitter, but just bland and boring. Chai is nice every now and again.

fyi here is how big bags of milk are here in ontario
>>53409<3
>>53412>>53413the theory is more supported to the fact that a lot of cows are fed hormones now to increase quality / supply of beef and quality / taste / quantity of milk- and that the hormones fed to cows leech into the milk that is harvested from them.
it's almost like BPA and xenoestrogens, and how it's been noted that a lot of us gals on birth control, when we pee, cause that hormone to not get filtered by sewage system- to as of which it's eventually dumped into lakes and rivers, where the hormone effects fish and other marine life.

Gonna take this time to shill for
>>>/tea/ because it could use more traffic.
Lately, I've been experimenting with cold brewing. Just put some bags of a cheap blend of pekoe cut and orange pekoe tea in a jar, fill it with water, and leave it in the fridge for at least 20 hours (though in reality, you only need about 12 hours to get a decent brew but I like to milk the bags for all they're worth). It's a smooth and refreshing treat!
Tried it last week with raspberries but the tea taste came out a litter weaker than usual. I'll make sure to use a bigger jar in the future when I use fruits.

24a446 No.54762
>>51228Mostly Black Tea. Ceylon or Earl Grey are my favorites with Tea.
Jahe (Ginger) or Teh melati (Jasmine) are nice for tea as well.
Related to tea, I drink Yerba Mate on a daily basis (almost 2L of it a day). Generally I'll pair with Tea with a bit of chocolate (Unless the Tea is brewed extremely strong I'll pair with Dark Chocolate that's at least 70% Cocoa). Or sometimes if I feel in the mood to Cook (Which is fairly often) I'll make something either Indonesian or Indian go with it. (Generally I just make Satay Ayam).
Mate is paired with a very small amount of chocolate occasionally, but usually nothing.
