A colleague offered me Lipton yellow the other day. He didnt understand why I then spent 15 mins explaining tea to him.
I mean, really, all tea is the same anyway. That Boston Harbor water (or "wahhtahhh" as they pronounce it) makes it all taste bad.

"Give it a try" isn't a very convincing argument. You've been very, hmm, aggressive about your opinion that Rhymer blows away Rieekan but I'm not seeing how. If a good Rhymer player auto wins against Rieekan, I would like to know why. That seems like something important to know

Why do the call green 'tea' tea? Is it really? Tea that is.

Yes it is.
Both Green Tea and Black Tea are Tea.
Exactly the same stuff.
Green Tea is steamed and dried after picking, whereas black tea is crushed and rolled and basically processed.
White Tea doesn't have an explicit defintion, but its commonly accepted that its usually younger tea buds that are not processed at all - and because the leaves are younger than where they're picked as green tea, they have a further lighter taste...
This is different than Red Tea, which is not tea at all, but herbal Rooibos from Africa instead.
(Yes. Dras knows Tea.)

You're probably putting it into water that's too hot. That tends to create a more bitter grassy taste that most sane humans don't like. Investing in an electric tea kettle that heats water to a settable temperature has been great for making sure I get my tea just right and I've been enjoying green tea more since then.

So boil and pour is bad?
Never knew.

I was going to make a snarky joke about how this thread has become the Tea thread, but as it's titled "The "Europeans" what comes around goes around" I can just make jokes about tea going around the world, a yuk yuk yuk.
On a related note, my parents have taken to buying me fancy teas every year and two years ago I got a sampler box from Teaforte (that should have an accent over the e in forte). That is some good stuff, everything has been tasting good as i drink more and more of it.

It works fine most of the time with black teas, but it's often too hot for green tea and will produce the aforementioned bitter grassy flavor. You don't necessarily need a fancy (I mean not that fancy, honestly but still kind of fancy) electric teakettle - even using a thermometer to check water temperature in a more conventional kettle will do just fine. It's just easier with an electric teakettle.

I served 18 months as a Starbucks Barista-Shift Supervisor-Assistant Manager. This taught me a lot about Coffee. (And yes. I had the store at Store Opening. That is served time, not worked)
But before that, I've always been involved in the harvesting, procurement and serving of teas, herbal concontions, tinctures and, dare I say it, potions.
"Yes Officer, I know Witchcraft was only decriminalised in the State of Victoria in the year 2000... Why do you ask?"

Potions you say? Question: What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?

Proper Wormwood?
High as as Kite.
The Joke was not lost in me. But its also a series I never cared much for.

I'm sorry, the proper answer was a sleeping potion so powerful its known as the Draught of the Living Death. And a point will be taken from Gryffindor House for your cheek, sir!

You'd still get high as a freakin' kite. There's a reason why most countries restrict the importation of Wormwood.
(And its difficult even on a religious exemption)

I always pegged @Drasnighta as more of a Ravenclaw, myself.

Oh, I'd definitely agree with that. But the quote was Gryffindor, and I certainly didn't just pull down my book from the shelf, turn to page 138 of the hardcover, and transcribe it. No, didn't do THAT.
And get yourself some decent loose green tea, none of that bagged stuff, and a decent pot to go with it... Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese teas are all very good and offer a multitude of flavours and aromas... Sipping Alishan green tea on my patio right now. Makes the forum flames more tolerable for sure

You have the Toronto Blue Jays and Jose Bautista, which is way cooler. Does cricket have batflips? I didnt think so.
