How many people drink hot teas daily? (piefed.social)

In addition to coffee daily, I also drink an Irish Breakfast tea and usually 1-2 cups of various others later in the day as well (this winter season I'll do mint, chamomile, probably Rooibos or Oolong, whatever I happen to find for cheap).

An electric water kettle was given to me as a gift (but they are cheap anyway I thought?) and it's so super fast and easy. I don't really know what I'm doing - just pour, steep for ~1 min, then drink, repeat:-). For breakfast tea I add creamer, for the rest nothing. I'm sure I could do more like put those large packs in something airtight.

What do you rock, in terms of tea🍡?

I have friends who drink tea. It just tastes like the drink is hinting at something to me, rather than being something, and that's not really my style. I haven't had tea in a good ten years or more, except for some valerian and chamomile tea at night to help me sleep (not for enjoyment).

Yeah herbal teas are all subtle like that, and a lot of black teas too like Earl Grey. If you ever want to try a REAL teal though, Irish Breakfast Tea instead of hinting will punch you in the face and rape your next of kin. Full warning, you might want to have some milk ready to dilute its strength. The range of coffee taste strength is higher than the range of tea ones, but for some like IBT those ranges overlap:-).

Ooh, I'll try that. Thanks!
