#teasnob — Public Fediverse posts

Since I am avoiding dairy, sugar and artificial sweeteners, I’ve given up coffee and exploring #tea that is good without any added sweetener.

I have kettle & infuser. Green teas are too bitter. I enjoy black and herbal teas. Mint, cinnamon, spices, fruits.

Help this newbie #teasnob - Overwhelmed with choice. Are there online stores that make selection easier? What’s best way to store loose teas and remember what’s on bag - or do you just keep the bag in a basket on counter the way I’m doing?

Since late February, at urging of neurologist to figure out source of idiopathic neuropathy (MS and most auto immune diseases ruled out) I’ve been on anti-inflammation diet avoiding dairy, eggs, gluten, grains, corn, sugar, artificial sweeteners, white potatoes. Heavy on berries, omega 3 fish, colorful root vegetables, nuts, and leafy greens.

Still have numbness more often than I’d like but feel good otherwise. And I’ve lost 15 lbs. Anyway…

Need some #teasnob community advice in next post…

I'm perilously close to running out of my "good" loose leaf tea, which means by Tuesday, if I only have one cup a day, I'm stuck drinking grocery store tea bag tea. 😖 #TeaSnob

I admit to being a tea snob, like some are coffee connoisseurs. I order my tea from the Upton catalogue. I’m partial to single-estate, tippy Assam - blended with just a taste of Lapsang Souchong to add that hint of smokiness. Milk and sugar are required, not optional so live with it. The result is the most heavenly hot beverage on the planet, none compares except perhaps proper chai (which I am not permitted as I do not tolerate black pepper). When it comes to Green tea, I prefer high-mountain grown (Alishan, Taiwan) Jin Xuan for its lovely floral notes. #Tea #TeaSnob #TeaDrinker
