I have a load of gree tea that I need to drink and its the strong stuff.

Curious if anyone here drinks any kinds of tea and why?

    I used to think tea didn’t taste much. Then I realized I only tried bad tea. Now my goto tea is loose leaf green sencha fukuju (I hope that is the correct spelling) that I steep in 70 C water for a few minutes in a preheated pot that allows the tea to expand properly.

    I get the tea from a local tea shop. I often reuse the tea leaves several times throughout the day. I occasionally drink some other teas, but I try to stay away from tea bags because I mostly find them to be less good because lower quality.

      Not sure where you are from but being from the UK whenever I go abroad I do not bother with tea as it is weak and tasteless in most places. Was in France last week and made the mistake of having tea with breakfast, even after adding a second tea bag my cup was basically full of warm milky water.

      If you are not in the UK you might be able to get hold of Yorkshire brand tea if there is a foreign food section at your supermarket.

        That’s not true of all of the rest of the world though, you will get great tea in other tea-consuming areas, France is quite low down on that list.
