hello! been drinking tea from teabags since i was a kid but only now trying out loose tea. favorites have always been green teas and black teas. do you guys have any recommendations for teas that have an earthy and roasted taste/flavor? or any other tea recommendations in general! also if you can provide where to buy these teas, it would be very much appreciated! thanks!
Got this from China. This is made from flowers, but I cannot remember what kind. Anyone familiar what kind of flower is this?
Phoenix dan cong oolong
I have over half a kilo of this. Hahahahahahahahahahahha.
Nakapag-Chagee na ba ang lahat? 😆
I really like tea and one of my favorite teas is hibiscus or wild berries but I keep adding way too much sugar because I can’t really drink it without it. I’m not the type of person who likes spending a lot of time learning how to brew tea correctly or doing complicated recipes. I’m more looking toward finding ways to make it quickly taste sweeter without completely filling it with sugar. I’m open to suggestions if you have a specific tea that you naturally find sweet on its own or something simple that makes tea taste better fast. I just don’t want to spend time experimenting with what I might or might not like.
Has anyone tried ordering from YS? That's one of the online shops I always see recommended and was browsing their list of teas. Kind of interested buying from there, and not very familiar with different kinds of tea and sources pa. Thank you!
Giving away bits and pieces from the first set/s I ever owned as I don't really use it anymore, figured it should be better served by someone who wants to start out with this hobby! DM me if you want it, it comes with a gaiwan, a small gongdao cup, and 3 teacups, as well as a strainer.
EDIT: Someone claimed it na!
Has anyone tried this tea? Curious if it's good!
I recently flew with Philippine Airlines, and as someone who doesn't drink tea, I got curious and tried it. I also had it on my return flight because I liked it so much. Does anyone know the brand or at least the flavor?
I recently went back to office. Hybrid after soo many long years. I dont own a car so bringing a mug is out of question. I also dont have specific seat sa office since 4x a month lang kami - nirereserve lang seats namin so di rin ako makakapag iwan ng mug sa office.
Nag-SB/zus coffee mga kasama ko akd I cant keep up since gastos siya and honestly I just prefer tea. All of my tea is loose leaves. I dont have time to prep the tea since night shift and need ko pa magluto and byahe pagkagising. I just plan to add loose tea sa tumbler and not clean, brew tea for x times since minsan lang naman sa office. I can do it on other days na lang.
Any suggestions? 😭
Hi! I want to learn more about tea, from the kinds and different methods. Nagpapabili lang ako sa kapatid ko from taiwan, and I was fascinated na iba iba pala tsaa (i.e high mountain teas). Kaya I want to explore more!
Where do I start learning? Any reco?
Hello everyone, can you share your tea routine? Been drinking on and off since last year. ☺️
Ngayon nalang ulit ako trying to make it regular as possible and here’s my routine:
Morning - green tea 350ml (using loose leaf tea from The Good Harvest)
Afternoon - I re-brew the tea I had in the morning (Idk if this is okay?)
Noticeable changes - wala akong cramps na nararamdaman during mens ko, but I also do walking in the morning aiming for 10k steps.
Can you share yours and feel free to drop some tips 🤗
Hi! New to loose leaf tea, after panicking about microplastics…. (lol)
Wondering lang where do you usually buy your loose leaf for those who does this na. Im looking at The Good Harvest vs naturesapothecary
I’m also into Chamomile, Jasmine and Peppermint tea, maybe you have suggestions?
Good day! Where can I buy quality Taiwanese teas online here in the PH? Thanks.
I bought a box of high quality Alishan Oolong tea from my recent visit in Taiwan and brewed it gongfu style. Tasting it was life changing and I'd like to buy more and try other variants.
I'm looking for any tea recipes or anything that you liked adding to your tea. I'm new to tea drinking and while I'm familiar with chai, I would like to explore between different drinks due to my health issues. And avoid caffeine as well. If you know any brands that are caffeine free teas, please let me know.(tea bags only as I'm having difficulty with measuring and mixing with loose tea)
Please let me know your suggestions and I'm open with any kind of tea. Thank you in advanced
Finally!!! Chagee branch in the south. So excited to finally try their teas.
For the ones who tried this already, any recommendations or suggestions?
Got this from one of our r/tsaaph members who has a tea pasabuy!
Google Lens search results: Huangshan Maofeng ("Yellow Mountain Fur Peak") is a renowned top-ten Chinese green tea produced near Anhui's Huangshan Mountain. Known for its light, orchid-like aroma and sweet, mellow flavor, it consists of early spring buds and one leaf, covered in fine white hair.
Clean, crisp, slightly sweet aftertaste. Love seeing the leaves sink signaling it's time to taste.
I originally started getting into tea more because of the health side of things. I kept seeing people talk about digestion, stress, blood pressure, cutting back on coffee but the longer I’ve been drinking tea, the more I realized taste and the actual routine matter way more to me than I expected. Now I look forward to making tea during the day especially smoother teas that don’t need sugar to taste good. It kind of became my replacement for soda and coffee without me forcing it.
