Food & Drink Any Tea Drinkers Here?

[pugilistico]

I was never really into tea until recently.

I always drank soda or coffee but after being in countries where tea is more common, tea has become a bigger part of my life.

I just never understood the point of drinking tea because it didn't taste like much and any effect you're looking for would be better sought elsewhere. Years ago, my sister once brought me a bag of English breakfast tea and I thought it was disgusting.
But I realized I just haven't been getting good tea until I went to places where tea is big part of their culture.

I heard in Vietnam that they drink coffee accompanied with some sort of tea. The coffee gives them the initial jolt from the caffeine but the tea levels it out and prevents them from crashing as much.
I've been incorporating this and I haven't felt the crash after drinking coffee recently. Could be a placebo though. Start my morning with a cup of coffee and then slowly drink black tea throughout the day.

I loved that in some countries in the middle east or asia they always give you a cup of tea at a restaurant. In Vietnam they almost always gave me a cup of cold tea at coffee shops.

I drank a lot of black tea in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Green tea in Japan was really nice as well.
It's been a good way to cut back on my soda consumption.

I sometimes drink chamomile in the evening to help me sleep. Ginger, honey, lemon tea is my go-to remedy when I'm sick.

What's your favorite tea?

I only really drink iced tea. Not a huge tea drinker. Though sometimes when my stomach acts up, I get this pu-er tea that the Asian fella at the tea place recommended, and it actually does help.
Outside of that, I don't really enjoy it like I enjoy coffee.

I drink Tea-Quila all the time.

 

[ChosenOne]

Grew up drinking tea, but am almost exclusively coffee now.

I do drink various herbal (no caffeine) teas late in the evening, especially in winter months, when i want something hot to sip on but i do not think you are talking about those.

I love tea, I have a whole cupboard dedicated to it. My favorite is matcha, but right now I’m drinking a lot of raspberry green tea for my period bloating lol, and a lemon tea with something or other idk but it’s tasty.

I just bought my friend earl grey lavender tea as part as her Christmas gift. I’m looking forward to gifting it to her.

Tea is for pussies!

I love tea, I drink pu-er mostly. My ramen place has that and I really like it. I found it at an Asian grocery store after trying it at ramen. It's sorta like black but with a slightly different flavor. Also drink standard Black, Green, sometimes the flavored ones. I add honey and a splash of milk

I hate it... I'll drink Keystone Lite before I drink tea.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Drinking ginger-turmeric right now. Try it if you want to piss excellence.

 

[RoastBeast]

I don't like coffee so I drink unsweetened black tea to get my caffeine fix.

 

[Arqueto]

Partial to a cup of Earl Grey myself.

Supposedly tea is good for a sherdogger’s uterus.

 

[HHJ]

I drink Green Tea every day

Like Coffee, I prefer it cold. I dont got all day to be drinkin shit. I got shit to do.

 

[mb23100]

It's just about all i drink. I always have a pitcher of green tea mixed with an herbal tea in the fridge. I drink black tea in the morning and at work. I'm not really loyal to any one brand but lately ive been enjoying this.



I've been on an Oolong kick lately too.

For loose leaf i recommend the Tiesta brand for something a little different. So many good ones....


They have an awesome sampler on Amazon for $23.

Good stuff when menstruating

 

[Osculater]

I don't mind drinking tea but coffee is my jam for every morning of the day

 

[chill doggie]

I drink reishi tea if I’m sick.
This stuff can cure aids.

The coffee + tea thing makes sense because of the L-theanine in the tea. Some people do something similar by taking L-theanine capsules at the same time as their coffee, but then you're dealing with the additives in (almost all) supplements. Goes to show that over time cultures can essentially crowdsource accurate wisdom on their own, well before the scientific method validates it.

 

[TheChance]

I'm a straight man so no, I do not drink tea.
