New Drinking Method
The rule with tea is… there are no rules! Drink what tastes good to you.
Black Tea, add milk and sweetener (honey, sugar, Splenda, etc.)
Green Tea, add mint and sugar for Moroccan Style.
Oolong Tea, never add anything. These teas have the most complex and evolving flavors. If you need to add something, you most likely either do not like Oolongs or have bought a low quality tea.
then my own rule is i add tequila to my oolong
Great conclusion. So what about yellow tea and white? Should they be added?
In my opinion, the taste of white tea and yellow tea is very light do not need to add other to destroy its own taste.
I prefer to drink all my teas naked. At times, if I begin to detect that I may be catching something, I will blend chrysanthemum buds and goji berries with an older Silver Needle—as aged as I can get it. Other than that, for black, puers, white, yellow, green, oolong, and herbal, I pretty much enjoy them by themselves. I haven’t tried tequila, but that sounds like a worthy venture. I may need to test that one out. @nycoma—suggestions for tequila? what do you use?
i appreciate your sentiments but that was Brian whose suggested tequila (joke i hope.)im not a big tequila drinker myself..
What you mentioned is quite choice to try I think. But I was shocked when I learned that cocktails also add tea. Is the similar to tequila.
@nycoma—sure, my mistake. I have had some wonderful brews from local breweries myself that used tea, and some really incredible cocktails with tea as a base. A sour, for example, that used Tie Guan Yin and Dian Hong Gong Fu was far better than I thought it was going to be. If beer, why not other types of liquor? Joke or not, I’d be interested in whether it’s being experimented with. We blend some things after all, so why not others? I don’t drink much at all but when I do, I seek out a tea even then, apparently. So far, I’ve enjoyed reading about the production of these blends about as much as drinking them. Current conclusion being, one microbe is as good as another…
