@Ixora: Yes exactly we understand each other.
@nature: How many times do you get up to pee in the middle of the night?
@onsenmark: Regular old tea as in black, white, green...?
@Alexis: Jasmine tea brings me so much joy.
@Totalanimefan: Thank you for the oolong recommendation! It's cool that you used to work at a tea shop.
I had to make sure I didn't oversteep my uji sencha or it was going to taste like grass.
I love boba tea as well. Taro boba is my favorite but I must admit I have not had very many flavors. Boba isn't really common around here.
Forums General Chit-Chat Let's talk about tea
@Kira: that oolong is expensive though so I’m sorry to your wallet lol
How do you brew your sencha?
Boba tea is great! I live in California now and there are so many boba tea places!! When I lived in Florida there was one and it wasn’t bad but it was pretty sweet. :/ Taro is a great flavor.
Milk oolong, jasmine green, genmaicha (with or without matcha - I think the matcha kept me up all night yesterday tho), and yunnan gold are all really good.
Which store is closing, OP?

@Kira: I guess black tea. Whatever it is I paid a buck-eighty for at Wally World, lol. :viosweat:
@Tuijp: you should try teas that taste like coffee.
@Sigma: those are all great teas! I love getting genmiacha as my boba tea.
Also matcha is the whole tea leaf grounded up so it has the most caffeine in it out of any tea.
@Tuijp: how about you don’t rain on our tea parade. /s
@Tuijp: This is CA. We actually have been getting a lot of rain.
@Totalanimefan I didn't think I used that much matcha, but I'll be darned if I don't like genmai with matcha. I forgot how potent matcha is in caffeine content, I guess D:
I'm still pretty well-awake. I don't know whether to be concerned or impressed.

@Sigma: yeah some matcha powders have as much caffeine as a cup of coffee!
You, like me, could also be caffeine sensitive. I have that and it means I can’t have any tea with caffeine in it at all. Herbal only for me at night.
@Totalanimefan: I steeped it for only 30 seconds instead of the 2 minutes recommended on the bag.
@Kira: actually the first 20 sec of the steep is where most of the caffeine is from. So steep for 20 sec, throw out that water then steep for real.

@Totalanimefan: we haven’t had much lately and, this weekend, we’ll have a temperature that we normally don’t get until the summer

@Kira: 0! Ahaha. I usually go to the bathroom first thing in the morning though, but my bladder isn’t very full.
My favorite teas are Earl Grey, Herbed chai with frothed milk, and matcha. :3
I prefer my matcha done sweet, though. Most of the teas, actually.
The tummy does not like unsweet things to drink. RIP

@Kira: and this is why I shouldn’t reply to people when I’m really tired lol I got mixed up.
It’s good to only steep green teas for a short amount of time. I also like to lower the water temp a little bit and then I can steep it for maybe 30 sec longer. And I can drink it sooner.
