Letās bring this one back.
This has been my morning cups for a while. Glorious. I really need to get in the habit of drinking this faster though. (so it doesnāt go cold)
I find that the mix of caffeine and Jasmine really helps me focus.

Do I get to hang out here? I usually just buy Lipton black tea, and make a large pitcher of sweet tea. Iām guessing not. 
Iāve started drinking hot tea more often recently [Earl Grey], just making a single serving at a time, but I still load it down with sugar. My plan was to slowly put less and less sugar, but Iāve forgot to do that part so far.
I need to see if the local market has oolong, but if not Iāll be ordering some soon. Isnāt that what the Chinese restaurants in the US usually have? I like it a lot, but againā¦ sugar.
Whether it be bulk bin stuff or old plant estate stuff, itās all leaf juice.
My local grocery chain has oolong. Itās not amazing stuff, but itās there.

Thanks!
Iāll add a few drops of stevia, citrus and a pinch of salt to overall tastiness, adding some ginger for when I feel extra crazy.
Bro at least go traditional medicinals
Oolong this evening.
Once steeped, the leave expand like crazy, which is fun to watch. The flavor is crisp and very ātea-likeā. Itās aroma is fresh and really captures the essence of tea.
Towards the end of the cup, thereās a slight creamy flavor thatās really satisfying.

Jasmine Dragon Pearls today as ācelebrationā, even though this is one of my staples.
Fantastic fruity, floral aroma. Clear, straw-colored liquor.
This tea oversteeps easily and is really sensitive to ratios in preparation. Take the time to weigh out the tea and water to get it right and time the steep. This variety takes a little more effort than others, but getting it right is worth it.

What are you celebrating?
Yeah, I wind up with a bitter tea at least once a week.
2020 taxes filed and accepted. Due to a minor, but irritating situation, I was not sure that would be possible. Eliminating the uncertainty is a huge relief.

Congrats then!
Any off the shelf brands that have turmeric? Only thing Iām finding is Kirin decomposition tea (according to wiki).
I use atlantic spice to get some of my teas from (orange spice and lapsang souchon) and they do have some teas with turmeric in them.

I also use the spice and tea exchange for trying out some stuff.

This did not workout. I took a nap like 2 hours after having it. I am just not used to the lack there of, of caffeine in tea.
What is the consensus for pot cleaning?
My family mostly just gave the pot a quick rinse before refilling again.
Does anyone scrub it right down every time?
