What teas do you have on hand and drink regularly?
For me it's three kinds of oolongs, two pu-erhs, a white cake, and a couple of greens.
What's yours?
Oolongs and senchas for pleasure...
...matcha for results 😄I've never had matcha.. is it nice? I guess it must be, obviously.
How does it compare to green tea?
Different experience, same taste (kind of). The texture is different, especially if you brew koicha ("thick tea").
Personally, it seems to affect me a bit more than leaf tea (that's why in my initial comments I said I drink it for results 😄), but that can be just my impression (so YMMV).
Genmai Cha is a staple for me, I'll always have that around. Other than that I usually have two or three oolongs (Formosa and Jade right now), a black or two, and a few other greens. Really love the Jasmine Pearls I have right now too
Daisena Aroma tea with forest fruits. The only one that really hits.
Gen mai cha, black teas with additions: pine needles/apple and orange peel/ raspberry and cinnamon
I've been meaning to get a pu'er cake. I usually have earl grey and jasmine green.
does anyone know how to tell a good pu'er from a shit one?
Paris tea from harney and sons. Such an easy tea to enjoy and it's cheap
Regular green tea mixed with hibiscus.
My daily go to is a jade oolong. But I also keep an early grey, a pu-erh fruit blend (Lost Boys from Adagio) and matcha around for when the mood hits. A nice matcha latte with oat milk and a bit of agave syrup is just fantastic.
