Just noting: brewing times & temps can vary wildly even between similar types of teas; in general, experiment to find what you like best. >

SarcasticComment
true, but until you get the chance to experiment. A rough guess reguarding the berw method is appreciated
mbros99
Of course! Maybe I was overzealous... You're right. I just don't want people to think that they're set rules. Didn't mean to be pushy, oops.

Posts like these give a greater appreciation of the finer things in life: tea, lists, some third thing

sweet teas are made of these...

Yeah. Tea, lists, the rule of threes that's ever present in society in which only two is frowned on & leaves more to be desired. *sips tea*

Darjeeling, in my view, is superior to teas from the Assam region of India

one of my favorite movies of all time

My favorite director. Love all his films.

Interesting, but there's a lot of unsubstantiated claims made about supposed health benefits going on here.
SarcasticComment
Healthy food helps you be healthy. I highly scrutinize anything that attempts to go beyond that claim.
SarcasticComment
Some brands want to pretend that drinking tea will magically cure you of everything
Tranquilo
what about puerh!?
SarcasticComment
puerh is technically fragmented green tea. The extent to which it is fermented and the method varies between brands

Um, most popular tea brands? Where the FUCK is PG Tips??
GuineaPigFriend
Can't stand PG Tips! Twinings al the way ❤️
BarnabasWizardcock
There's a special place in hell for Twinings lovers.
GuineaPigFriend
Whattttt. Their Assam is the best!
BarnabasWizardcock
It's not real tea unless it's in a dirty cup with a hair in it!
GuineaPigFriend
To be fair, as long as the tea is strong and sugary I'm sold!
tinner20
Do you take sugar in your tea? No thank you Turkish....I'm already sweet enough
Whiskey461
What's the ideal brewing time for Lipton?
SarcasticComment
1.5 min. Lipton is CTC processed which means the tea has a lower brewing time than blacks processed by traditional methods
WhatTheFrench
I came here to post this same comment! My BIL is a tea snob, and I enjoyed making him visibly cringe when I asked if they had Lipton. Muhaha
itisntisit
However long it takes you to go to a shop that sells proper tea, plus the time it takes to make that tea instead
Czck
Why is it in Fahrenheit? Every country that drinks tea as part of their culture users metric.
FelixtheWolf
Water boil @ 212 F, so roughly 2 F --> 1 C conversion for rough estimate you should be ok. This is simply not written for gen. chem. lab :)
airandfingers
For high temperatures that works for very rough estimates, but 160 F = 71 C (and 32 F = 0 C).

It's to education and sell tea to Americans.
SarcasticComment
brother works for a USA grocery retailer, while tea consumption has greatly risen in the last decade, sales drop in warm months
SarcasticComment
the industry is really pushing for year round consumption that goes beyond Southern Style tea which is very low quality
Avenguard
One would think that every country that drinks tea as part of their culture wouldn't need to receive their education on the internet.
Czck
We usually don't for the tea we have been raised to drink but there are numerous teas that require different methods
SarcasticComment
actually they would. Many cultures only drink tea 1 or 2 ways. There is always growth to be made in bringing new types into the market

How the hell can no. 2 list Lancashire Tea but not Yorkshire Tea? Yorkshire Gold is what it's all about

I find your lack of Lyons disturbing. But not more than your use of metric?!
bishopbrennansarse
Lyon's a quality tea.

As an American, I just threw this post into the harbor.

As a Brit, what the fuck is Lancashire tea?
PippyStrelly
I live in lanc and heart nothin bout it.
QuinnBari
Slightly better than Lipton but still crap
SarcasticComment
most commercially prepackaged tea is crap because it is CTC processed
QuinnBari
What's that?
SarcasticComment
Crush, Tear, Curl method. http://www.mymajestea.com/media/wysiwyg/majestea/images/different_th_.jpg
SarcasticComment
3/ Con: Drastically reduces the flavor and quality of the tea compared to traditional loose leaf (Orthodox method)
SarcasticComment
2/ Pro of CTC tea: its cheaper to manufacture and can brew more cups per kilo than the Traditional Orthodox method.
SarcasticComment
4/ CTC became popular with tea bags that hid the quality of tea. Creating a race to the bottom trend to produce the cheapest tea possible
Psymon100
As a Brit living in the US, Lipton tea tastes like you found it at the bottom of a harbor- oh, wait...
SarcasticComment
it's your fault. If you fucks didn't tax it, we'd have remained a tea culture. USA quit drinking tea in the Revolution out of protest
SarcasticComment
but one could debate that the war was inevitable, and the majority of our tea supply line would have been cut off, regardless.
LadyIgnite
As an American tea snob, I love this comment more than anything ever typed on imgur.
thetoshjosh
Loose tea master race !!!
SarcasticComment
Rise up against the CTC swilling swine! Orthodox for life.
LadyIgnite
Yes!!
barbadianimgurian
So is it acceptable to leave the teabag in all while one drinks the tea long after brewing?
itisntisit
You do what you want, but that is a good way to make shit tea
HelloIAmAnInnocentBystander
No. Heathen.
LunaChic
You're gonna get a lot of tannin, the stuff that tastes very bitter, if you do. I can't stand it.
ClockworkBee
As a British person, I've never heard of Ahmad tea. Our most popular brand of tea is called PG Tips. Do not mess with tea facts!
[deleted]
[deleted]
ClockworkBee
Sure but they listed Ahmad as the most popular tea in the UK and it's not.
akki14
Or Typhoo or Yorkshire Tea. Hadn't heard of Mazewatee or Rington's tea either...
Nueth
Rington's Hugely famous brand of tea in the North. Why they chose Lancashire tea (est 2005) instead of Yorkshire Tea (est 1886) i dont get.
charonsfee
As a Canadian I don't know Salada either. I'm guessing most popular would be the cheapest ones. Red rose, twinnings, lipton.
Nueth
They put Tetley down as Indian. I think they dun goofed
SarcasticComment
is PG Tips traditional loose leaf, or is it CTC processed into those terrible tea pellets?
ClockworkBee
It comes in tea bags, like the vast majority of tea in the UK
SarcasticComment
That's CTC. Evil little tea pellets
HousePest
I'll just stick to heating water in the microwave and putting the T bag in after, for some few minutes. Not gunna worry about temps.
LunaChic
I recently ordered a bright pink electric kettle. It is beyond awesome for heating water for one cup.
EvenBiggusDickus
Microwave! The brit in me just cried a little, actually a lot
HousePest
Its.. its just hot water D: How different could it be?
EvenBiggusDickus
Lousy temperature control and a limey childhood make me have an aversion to that mechanical abomination
SarcasticComment
curious as to the British opinion on electric kettles. Are they allowed, or are they a dirty little secret of convenience?
Dramacian
I drink 10 L. of tea everyday when not drunk. Earl gray / Russian earl gray. Just wanted to share, i'm drunk. I don't drink coffee.
akki14
Careful drinking that much earl gray... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergamot_orange#Toxicology "consumed 4l/day suffered muscle cramps"

My muscles are ok.... i just tried to lift kiddos this weekend... ouch. They were a bit grown ups... ouch.

AmbiguousGardens
Coffee is technically a tea
Dramacian
I hate you. Theine is not caffeine... Wait... what ?
AmbiguousGardens
But they both have caffeine too
Dramacian
The only good uses i ever saw in coffee is staining paper and feeding old Brazilian locomotives.
AmbiguousGardens
I'm not sure I understand the reference but I drink coffee because I like it.
Fuckweasel
10 L, as in 10 Liters of tea every day? Holy shit.
Dramacian
Not everyday. Yes that is a lot. I moisturize myself a lot.
Fuckweasel
So it would seem.
Malloon
English: "moisturize" is done with a cream or lotion, "hydrate" is done with tea. 2/2
Malloon
Your English is good - I wish my Russian was as good. And, just like I want people to correct my Russian, I'll do the same for your 1/2
Dramacian
I don't recall a "hydrate me" reference in Dr. Who. Btw. I am no Russian. Do they love their children too ?
Malloon
Oh, it was a reference. Went right over my head. Sorry.
zeshoopuf
Damn. I would have to pee every five minutes with that amount of tea.
Dramacian
37 minutes...
zeshoopuf
That is a very specific amount of time. Also isn't life a bit difficult if you have to pee every 37 minutes?
