For green tea, try to cook it at 90 celsius, you can get that by leaving your tea pot open for about 1-2minutes before putting in your tea leaves and close it. However i still fail at noticing the taste different between 100 degree and 90degree.

Anyone like western tea here? hmm.gif

I am a Japanese and Chinese tea lover. I usually take those teabags because more convenient. I've only tried Green tea, Jasmine tea, Pu Er tea, Oolong tea and Ti Kuan Yin tea.

Among all, I like most is Green Tea. Really don't quite like Pu Er and Oolong because they are dark and don't have that fresh, light taste. Can anyone recommend any tea that is similar to Green tea? I forgot how Ti Kuan Yin taste like.

me too, i usually buy tea bag type for convenient's sake.
lol to me ti kuan yin taste like its name, don't know how to describe though sweat.gif

I'm pretty much a Green Tea fanatic.  icon_rolleyes.gif
Consume about 2 litres per day.
But the way I'm brew it isn't with warm~hot water, instead I scoop 3 big table-spoon of the Green Tea leaves into a 2 litre flask, pour in about 1.8 litre of cold water and put it in the fridge for about 4+ hours.

I like to drink it cold, it's very refreshing...but the main point I "cold brew" my Green Tea because the flavour tasted different than brewing it in hot water (below 90c), you can taste the earthy and organic note to it, plus I try not to compromise the nutrition of the tea, and I make sure I "brew" it long enough for the leaves to release it's oil and natural essences... 

About Green Tea compared to other teas ( Earl Grey, Oolong, Lipton, etc.) it gives more of this "feeling good" factor throughout the day...

May I know what brand are you drinking? and what is the price around? hmm.gif

Wow, so many tea drinkers. I have Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Chinese green tea (a few types, kept in the freezer), Ti Kuan Ying, and some Pu Er, which I bought for investment purpose and cheaper varieties for daily drinking. I generally consume more coffee (4 shots of espresso daily, with freshly roasted and freshly grind coffee beans) than tea (2x a week).

if u want to sleep at nite, try drinking the chinese fermented tea (also known as black tea). the effects are diff, very refreshing, doesn't get u hungry, n allows u to sleep.

just found out from someone that chamomile tea's good especially for ladies. i'm taking that a nite now. one bag (can't seem to find it loose.. pls do tell me where to get loose chamomile tea) for 2 cups. it also helps me to sleep at peace... nice smell n refreshing.

day time, usually take chinese green tea. not only it helps u to detox, it also helps to clear the throat from oily food n etc. love it!
