If you had to drink 1 type of tea for the rest of your life....

I drink green every day, much of the week it’s the only type of tea that I drink. I guess I’m already doing what you mean.

Note that in Japan a lot of people do just that, and even in China, the most produced and most drank type of tea is green.

If I had to choose one type of tea it would definitely be ripe puerh tea.

It was a tough call between ripe and pu erh maocha. I could always make ripe from maocha. Lol

My problem with the idea of making my own ripe is simply put I like to drink good ripe, that precludes me from making it myself. I wouldn’t have the first clue about how to make my own ripe.

Put it in a basket and wet it (but not too little or too much) and wait! You’d have to turn it too to promote even decomposition. I’m sure there’s a guide online somewhere. I’ve never tried it, but I tried some of tea-side’s homemade shu and it is incredible!

Definitely green tea for me. I drink it everyday already but I do add some other teas in now and then.

There are a few of us on Steepster that are green tea enthusiasts!

Maybe more than a few :)

I would say for me it has to be Rooibos.

Rooibos you can add a few slices of lemon and pour a drop of delicious Manuka honey. Fantastic for sore throats!

It tastes awesome when cold and can be made into soups. Very versatile!

A friend brought me some Shangri La Rooibos from South Africa and fruity notes is like having an explosion of interesting flavours in your mouth.

I found a Chai like no other I’ve ever tasted. With this, I could die happy.
