To make the tea thing even better, in English when referring to Chinese black teas, they are called red tea instead… Because that’s the color of the liquid.

That being said, if its label says red tea, its probably way higher quality than the tea bags you have at home.

    You mean like how chamomile isn’t tea? Because I probably call chamomile broth “tea” 100% of the time. Tea for me is anything steeped in muslin in boiling or near boiling water that you might sweeten

    AFAIK the thread was about green and black tea - and suddenly there was rooibos.
    So I was more focused on the tea plant itself and the variations we get/make from it

  I fuckin love rooibos, I don’t know what it is about it because I generally don’t care that much for tea.

    I’m also not big on tea, but rooibos tastes like essence of baked goods to me
