tea. sometimes its hot, sometimes its iced, but most of the time it can be pretty soothing to drink. Im not personally a tea aficionado who knows everything about brewing and leaves and whatnot, but i do like drinking tea to calm down from the madness of the world.

What are your types of tea? do you brew it? what cup do you drink it in? elaborate more on details in this thread.

I am a multifaceted tea enjoyer, personally if drinking hot tea its twinings's English Breakfast. Other than that I am a thai tea and boba milk tea drinker, but heres were the hot take comes in I LOVE a rose flavored milk tea (Specifically with a oolong base, but ill take a jasmine as well). Green tea also fucks hard, but I don't think it makes the top of my list.

love drinking lemon/ginger tea that gives me the illusion that I'm being healthy.

love drinking sleepytime tea to give me the illusion that I'm getting sleepy

Earl Grey tea is very nice. I got a big tin of the Ackbar brand that was pretty cheap and I've been slowly going through it.

At night time it's good to drink Roobios since it is decaf. A hot drink at night before bed is very enjoyable.

I've tried both spearmint and peppermint teas lately, local brand (Gyógyfű), 100%, apparently medicinal herbal teas but I've been drinking them just for the taste — peppermint definetly has a bigger "chill" to it, but I feel like spearmint is just tastier. I also have been drinking a lot of chamomile tea recently, my muse Martina suggested it last year and as it turns out it's actually quite delicious. I'm looking forwards to try more herbal teas like lemon balm or ginger once I'm through with these.

When it's not those two (aka when I make a jug for the whole family) it's Sir Morton earl gray which is… unremarkable, or some fruit tea that's like 1% fruit, 99% hibiscus.

you should get some eggrolls from A Chau and eat them while you're drinking your tea
