I was like “roasted rice tea? colour me intrigued” and then I tasted it and was like “oh damn I know this flavour very well”

Genmaicha is great tea. Also 13 is a great page number.

I had Yorkshire “jam on toast” breakfast tea last night. Actually pretty nice. Couldn’t smell or taste toast in it though.

Yorkshire tea is very tobacco tasting. Saying that, the Yorkshire toast and jam tea I’ve been drinking is good.
My last tea was called something like sleepy time.

Toast and jam tea?
Didn't even know that was a thing, I'll give it a shot.

I am currently having a brandy oolong tea at a Russian tea house. It smells great but all the subtle nuance is wasted on my palate.

They serve pelmeni and borscht and stuff. But the tea menu is pretty
extensive. My wife had a strawberry guava black tea that was also pretty good.

There were Ukrainian flags everywhere like they were trying to deter vandalism. And cool teacup/saucer lights.

Well, I'm having some Tazo Awake English Breakfast tea now. Of course, if I posted every tea I had I'd surely be octoposting routinely.

Same. It would also be very boring as I mostly drink the same two teas.

I drank some bad matcha but I found an old stash of Bengal spice tea that was still good.
I also got one of them fancy gooseneck kettles because I still felt like some piece of unused kitchen equipment was missing when I bought the magnetic plate stirrer.

I had Morrison’s Sweet Dreams tea. If anything, it gave me bad dreams.
