Hello,

Nice to find this community - avid tea fan here. Is this community still active?

Thanks!

I'm no one official but I'm still following it. I'm not really a super specialist though, just interested.

Great :) What sort of tea do you like?

[egret]

I like black teas. Assam. Mixes with black teas like chai, English Breakfast, Earl Grey. At the moment it's a plain old box of PG Tips.
I want to like fussing with loose teas but mostly I just get teabags for convenience.

We like making herbal teas.

Still following, but haven't seen too many posts.

Lovely. What sort of tea are you into?

Also still following, also still interested.

Even though my grandmother is visiting at the moment and tea is slightly stressful at the moment because when I make her tea, I have to super concentrate not to auto-make it the way I like it (which is apparently "wrong" and I get a detailed accounting of how it is wrong; she is mostly awesome just grieving right now and channeling it into minutiea.)

Gosh, that's hard to hear... I wish you and your grandmother the very best!
And hopefully a good cuppa will offer her some solace.

What sort of tea do you like?

I am a fan of a nice Genmaicha (green tea with toasted brown rice), which is definitely not her cup of tea.

Also my standard cuppa is black tea (either something like Tetley's or Earl Grey), steeped for 4 minutes, with milk (and I don't skimp on milk). I have a fair bit of decaf because too much caffeine and I do not mix well.

What about you?

[withagreatlove]

Oh, Genmaicha is rather nice, especially with fish and sushi dishes!

I love a good-quality Earl Grey, as well as Darjeelings and Oolongs. I tend to gravitate towards the 'lighter' black teas.

I've become immune to the cafffeine, it seems. I'm still not sure whether that's a good or a bad thing ;)
