Help !! >_< Need tea recommendations.

Self-explanatory I think, but I'm wondering if anybody has any specific (preferably loose-leaf) tea they could recommend? I'm not picky whatsoever, I like all kinds of tea and love trying new things. I favor sweeter teas, but I think they're all special in their own little way.. That being said, if anybody has a specific kind they like, I'd love to know. Hoping to buy a bunch of new tea this month. ^_^ Kind of also just asking what kind of tea people like. I think it's nice to get opinions from people with the same silly little interest as me!!

9 Ways To Preserve The Fresh Taste Of Chinese Tea!

In the tea circle, different types of Chinese tea have different characteristics due to their unique production process and fermentation degree.

Each type of tea has its own unique flavor and aroma, and naturally their shelf life is also different. If you handle them in the same way, your tea will probably go bad!

The correct storage method can not only allow the tea to maintain its fresh taste for a longer time, but also maximize its nutritional value.

Here are nine ways to preserve tea, you can take a look.

Here are nine ways to preserve Chinese tea, you can take a look

Chinese Green Tea

Unfermented tea retains the original natural aroma and fresh taste of tea.

The best storage time for green tea chinese is generally within 1 year. Beyond this period, its freshness will gradually decrease.

In order to keep green tea fresh, we need to store it away from light, cool and dry

If conditions permit, you can refrigerate it, but be sure to avoid refrigerating it with other foods to avoid absorbing odors.

Unopened green tea that is not consumed for a long time can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 years.

It is recommended to use a moisture-proof bag plus an aluminum foil bag or a jar as the storage container, which can effectively prevent the entry of air and moisture.

Chinese Black Tea

Fully fermented tea can maintain its high quality within 2 years if stored well.

When storing black tea, you should choose a closed, room temperature, and dry environment, and avoid mixing it with other teas, because black tea easily absorbs odors from the surrounding area.

Pay special attention to emptying the air from the tea bag, as it will develop a sour taste if it gets damp.

Storage containers can be sealed dry cans, tin foil cans, purple clay cans or tin cans, which can effectively prevent the tea from moisture and oxidation.

White Tea

There is an old saying: "1 year for tea, 3 years for medicine, 7 years for treasure". The older it is, the stronger its fragrance.

White tea should be stored in a room temperature, light-proof, dry, sealed and pressure-proof environment. To store white tea, the three-layer packaging method (aluminum foil bag + moisture-proof bag + carton) is the best choice.

If the amount of tea is small, you can use a kraft paper bag, seal it, and place it in a cool place.

Note: Do not store in the refrigerator.

Pu'er tea and black tea

Has a longer shelf life.

The shelf life of Pu'er tea is long-term storage, generally 10-15 years. To store this kind of tea, you need a ventilated, dry, odor-free, moisture-free environment.

If you find that the tea leaves are moldy and have white hair, you can take them to a dry place and air them in the sun for a few days to make the mold spots disappear.

If black, green or gray mold appears, the water cannot be consumed.

Storage containers can be kraft paper bags or cartons, as these materials can absorb excess moisture and odors to a certain extent.

Yellow Tea

It is a lightly fermented tea and its storage method is similar to that of green tea. It is best consumed within 1 year.

Yellow tea should be stored in a dark, cool place.

If conditions permit, you can also refrigerate it, but you also need to avoid refrigerating it with other foods to avoid absorbing odors.

If you don’t drink unopened yellow tea for a long time, you can keep it in the freezer for two years.

It is recommended to use a moisture-proof bag plus an aluminum foil bag or a can as a storage container to ensure the dryness and aroma of the tea.

Oolong Tea

According to the degree of fermentation, it is divided into light fermentation, medium fermentation and heavy fermentation, and the corresponding storage time is 1-2 years, 3 years and more than 3 years respectively.

Regardless of the degree of fermentation of oolong tea, it needs to be stored away from light, in a dry and sealed place.

When canning oolong tea, make sure the can is full to reduce air contact and avoid oxidation.

Storage containers can be tin cans, iron cans and porcelain jars. These materials can effectively prevent moisture and light, and maintain the unique flavor of tea.

The recommended storage temperature is around 25°C and make sure it is sealed.

scented tea

The storage period is generally no more than 1 year, because the dried flowers in scented tea are easily oxidized and lose their fragrance.

The key to preserving scented tea is to avoid light, keep it cool and dry. When storing, you should choose double-layer protection of aluminum foil bags plus moisture-proof bags or cans to ensure that the tea is not damp and does not deteriorate.

Compressed tea includes Tuo tea, cake tea, etc., which can be stored for 5-10 years.

To store compressed tea, you need to choose a moisture-proof, light-proof, and ventilated environment, and at the same time avoid the tea leaves from being subjected to excessive external pressure, so as not to affect its quality.

Recommended storage containers include ceramic jars, purple clay jars or kraft paper, as these materials help absorb excess moisture and odors.

Non-fermented tea mainly includes yellow tea and green tea, and the shelf life is 1 year.

When storing non-fermented tea, you need to choose a dark, cool and dry environment.

The storage container can use a moisture-proof bag plus an aluminum foil bag or a can, which can effectively prevent the intrusion of air and moisture.

Hey thought of some cute and funny Headcannons for Ghost, Gaz and Price teaching their s/o on how to make a “proper cup of tea.”

Summary: Ghost, Gaz, and Price show their S/O how to make a ‘proper’ cup of tea.

Genre: Headcanons, request(s) Characters featured: Ghost, Gaz, Price

Warnings: None!

A/N: Thank you for the request, Anon! I hope I didn’t botch this one. OTL Hopefully y’all enjoy ‘em!  ( Gif credit: xxx )

Ghost―

Depression was a bitch. Even the simplest things like making food for yourself turned into arduous tasks. Much like today. You were trying to get something - anything, really - into your system just so you didn't feel even worse later on.

Grabbing a mug, you filled it with tap water and set it aside on the counter so you could rummage around through your selection of teas. While you were browsing, you could hear Ghost entering the kitchen thanks his heavy booted footfall, prompting you to glance at him over your shoulder.

"Hey, hon."

Ghost nodded silently as he strode over so he could place a kiss to the top of your head.

"Doin' alright, love?"

Pursing your lips, you hesitated responding before eventually shaking your head. "Not really, no. Having one of those days, I'm sorry..."

He shook his head. "Nothin' to be sorry for."

Looking over towards the counter, he gestured to it silently with a jut of his head. "Making a cuppa?"

"Yeah," You nodded. "I was looking through the teas just now."

"What'd you settle on?"

"Mm," You shrugged your shoulders. "Maybe some Earl Grey?"

You watched Ghost squint his eyes down at you, causing you to laugh softly. "What? Don't tell me..."

Ghost's chest puffed up as he took a deep inhale and exhaled slowly as he nodded his head eventually. "No offense, love, but I know when you're not feeling well you tend to throw things into the microwave more."

"I'm 'fraid I can't let you do that. Let me take care of it. I'll make one for myself, too."

Playfully rolling your eyes at him, you nodded your head in agreement anyway.

"Fine, fine." Snorting softly, you'd also comment. "Brits and their tea." Shaking your head for good measure.

Reaching around, Ghost delivered a light pinch to your backside, pleased with himself once he saw you jump and yelp in response. Smacking your smaller fists against his hard chest. "Watch your mouth, brat."

Afterwards, he walked away so he could grab the kettle he brought over just because he preferred it over other methods.

"Here," After he filled the kettle with water, he placed it on the stove top to heat up. "I'll teach you how to make proper tea."

Feeling a little better with Simon's company and attention, you couldn't help but nod and smile at him. "Yes Chef~"

Gaz―

"What tea did you wanna brew again?" Kyle asked as he picked out cups for each of you; his was a royal blue with a union jack on it, yours was molded after a black cat with the tail curled up for the handle.

"Oolong, please."

He nodded and took the loose leaf tea bag out, choosing his own shortly after while you took care of putting water into the kettle, setting it aside for it to boil. While you waited for the water to heat up, you walked over to him, pressing yourself into his back as your arms wrapped him up in a loose hug.

"Doin' alright, dove?"

"Mhm." You nodded against him only to jump shortly afterward when you heard the kettle going off, causing him to laugh at you.

Reluctantly pulling away, you'd reach over to take off the kettle from the heat. Readying it to pour straight into your mug before Kyle called out to you.

"Wait!"

Your eyes widened as you halted in mid-air, whipping your head to look at Gaz like he was a mad man. "What? What's wrong?" You asked in a concerned tone, shaking your head at him.

"You're brewing Oolog tea, right?" He waited for you to nod in confirmation before carrying on. "You've gotta let the water cool for a bit before adding it in. Over-boiled water will make the taste turn a bit off. Also," As he rummaged around in the drawer for something, he'd pull out a thermometer shortly after, smirking at you cheekily. "You've gotta let it brew for two to three minutes."

Staring at him with a deadpan expression, you couldn't help but sigh.

"You've got to be kidding me..."

Kyle shook his head. " 'Fraid not, love. Trust me, you'll thank me later."

"It's just tea!" You exclaimed with a chuckle. "I doubt the difference in taste is that noticeable."

"We'll see about that." He'd reply as he took the liberty of checking the temperature of the water.

You ended up just letting him do whatever he wanted so he didn't fuss over how you made tea.

After the two of you were done, you didn't really taste much of a difference than how you'd normally make it, but for his sake, you acted as if it was the best damn cup of tea you'd ever had. Taking pleasure in seeing him light up with pride at his success.

Price―

"How do you take your tea, sweetheart?"

You were currently making breakfast for the two of you while he tended to the tea. In the time you'd spent together, you'd learned that when he wasn't busy with work, he tended to prefer having tea over coffee when he could.

"Um," Scrambling the eggs in the pan, you hesitated in answering. "I guess sweet is fine?"

"Just... sweet?" John asked, turning to look at you with an amused expression on his face.

Meeting him with a glance of your own, you squinted your eyes at him as if daring him to say something. "Yeah? Don't tell me you prefer unsweetened tea." You teased.

John shook his head, crossing his arms over his chest. Leaning back against the counter. "No, no. Not sure how they do things in the States, but we've a few ways to make a cuppa here."

"For example," He continued, gesturing vaguely towards the empty cups waiting on the counter top. "The kind I prefer has a bit of milk to it, few bits o' sugar as well."

"Oooh," You laughed softly, stirring the eggs in the pain as you joked with him. "My apologies, Gordon Ramsay, apparently I forgot to brush up on my tea knowledge."

Huffing, he'd glance off to the side with a disbelieving shake of his head. "The nerve of this one..." He mumbled to himself with a smile.

"I'm just saying," He'd begin, pushing himself off the counter so he could step over to stand in front of you. Towering over you with the height difference between the two of you. "Your poor taste buds deserve better, dear."

"Pfft, get out of here!" You laughed, waving at his face with your free hand. Before your hand fell to your side, he captured your wrist in a gentle hold, pulling it towards his face so he could kiss the back of your hand. The rough scrape of his facial hair coaxing a shiver to course up your spine.

"Never~" He spoke against your hand before he began to kiss his way up your arm. Stopping once he was close enough to you he could whisper just loud enough for you to hear. "Let me make you a right cuppa?"

How could you ever say no to that?

[cultivatetastetea]

Look what I did yesterday morning. Thank you for having on your radio show and podcast!

What I think some of the characters from mdzs would order from a coffee shop:

Wei Wuxian would get a quad espresso over ice with a lil milk (maybe oat or soy) or nitro cold brew. If he is feeling fancy he'll get one of the seasonal drinks.

Lan Wangji would get a hot chamomile tea or jasmine but only if it's loose leaf. Sometimes he'll get a soy matcha unsweetened but only before 8am (hot or iced depending on the weather).

Lan Xichen would drink an oolong tea (hot or iced depending on the weather) or a decaf hot latte bc he likes coffee but can't handle the caffeine.

Jiang Cheng gets a hot chai latte or a hot chocolate (maybe a hot caramel latte if he needs caffeine).

Wen Ning drinks energy drinks so when he is at a coffee shop he just gets a hot chocolate.

Wen Qing gets an espresso if she is in a rush or cold brew if she is gonna study. She needs the caffeine to get through being in the medical field tbh.

Nie Huaisang is an iced fruity tea bitch for sure. He may get an affogato to be fancy~

Nie Mingjue gets straight black coffee. He only drinks hot drinks. Occasionally he'll splurge for a breve cappuccino.

Jiang Yanli drinks London fogs with almond milk. She needs the calming beverage when dealing with all the silly men in her life.

Jin Zixuan used to get an espresso and add 3 sugar packets because he thought it was too girly to get a "fancy drink" 😅 his wife gets him to try a vanilla latte which he loved and gets that now.

(Let me know what your headcanons are!)
