Comment on Plastic tea bags
wieson@feddit.de 8 months agoI can give you one more that can make me seem either a lot superior or a lot inferior in the tea snob world.
- Loose leaf
- Collected and fermented by myself
- But it’s not from the tea plant, it’s herbal tea

That’s fine. I prefer tea mixtures most of the time anyways.
Mixing green tea (like Gunpowder) with some moroccan mint (add sugar to your liking) tastest mighty fine. And the mint grows just fine in a pot on the balkony.

Oh yes, Tuareg tea is great!

Didn’t know that it was called like that. Nice! :D
Also, I should try to get some nice fitting glasses. Just for fun.

Usually people use small glasses and a certain kind of chinese teapot made from sheet metal

If you may ever feel an interest towards collecting your herbs, apple tree leaves are a tea that’s totally slept on.
Oxidise/ ferment them like one would black tea by freezing them to burst open the cells. Then thaw them and roll them in your hands into little balls or cigars. With enough pressure so that water comes out (your hands will turn yellow from the juice). Then rest these balls for a few minutes under cover, roast them quickly in a pan (not until it smells toasty, just to lose some moisture quickly) and dry.
