I started recently to drink chamomile tea at night , and now looking into green tea to replace coffee.
anybody else drinks tea? if so , what are some you recommend ?
Bag tea is trash.

Search for loose leaf tea on Amazon.

Start with Black tea.

Buy extra fine mesh tea balls.

Also try Dammann Freres tea.

Use real cream and sugar.

Great tea is mind blowing just like great coffee.

If you know you know.

unlike KnickstapeCity, i do it with my pinky down :ufdup:

you need a really thick straw to drink it because you suck up the tapioca pearls

Drink a mug of green tea nightly.

Good for the soul and skin.

May switch up with the hibiscus from time to time.

Btw, I drink with nothing in it: no sweetner, etc.

Anything with ginger is a good bet. I have a few loose tea strainers. I'm trying to find the perfect one but it's elusive.
It's why I stopped using the diffusers and just put the loose leaf in the mug and then strain out the leaves after I let it steep. The patina builds up in the diffusers and plugs the holes.

I installed one of these in my house recently for making tea, and it's great. What I didn't expect though is how good it turned out being for rinsing dishes. I use it daily.




I have a tea house not too far from me, so I like trying various ones, but I mainly drink chamomile.

I buy loose leaf tea. Mostly green, roasted brown rice green, jasmine tea, and oolong. The bagged tea are mostly low quality. Good tea is very smooth, not bitter, and not much tannins. Learn to brew it because it becomes bitter when it’s steep too long. If you buy bagged tea, I like Dilmah brand of Sri Lankan tea.
