The Wandering Poet: Sweet tea ALWAYS counts! I've got some big jugs full of cereal that I'll hopefully eat through before summer so I can use them to make sweet tea. Until then I treated myself to a cold brew coffee container for Christmas!

Cinderella: I heard there's a Mene discord. We could set up a day for a mock tea party and share pics of the snacks we've made for ourselves. My daughter likes imaginary tea parties, but she isn't fond of real tea. I bet I could make some finger sandwiches she'd like.

monstahh`: I think this tea is a loss. I made a large cup and put entirely too much honey in it, and the mint was still overwhelming.

@Namune: yes, there is a Mene discord! That would be really fun!

I'm really bad at making tea I usually just let the wife do it. Her tea is delicious.

Though one day she near replicated Bojangles sweet tea and nearly knocked me off my feet. So much sugar.

Oh wow I had no idea there was a magazine purely focused on tea. My mum would love it! She collects china and likes high teas etc.

My favourite tea is Jasmine green tea. yoom.

Oooh! I bought a strawberry tea yesterday and I'm very excited about it. I hope it's good!

Have you tried it yet?

I saw a rose and chinese green tea combo at a tea store a few days ago. I really wanted to get it but it was loose leaf and I dont really have the facilities to make loose leaf tea.

I have a couple of tea ball/tea strainer things for loose leaf teas, but I keep losing them. And one of them doesn't close very tightly and also the holes in it are too big, so I get a lot of tea debris anyway.

I kind of want to get one if the fun shaped silicone ones like one shaped like the loch ness monster.

@Wonderlands: not yet, but I want to soon!

@Kaderin: a Loch Ness monster-shaped one???

Yep! Nessie tea diffuser.

:o
THOSE ARE SO CUTE I WANT ONE!!!
Seriously though. Would buy in a heartbeat if I had any use for one, haha.

The silicone ones actually come in TONS of shapes. I've seen a cat that hangs off the edge of your cup/mug, narwhal ones, I can't remember them all at the moment.

I saw a whole bunch when I looked up the Nessie one to send to a friend. I really wish I had use for one - there are sooooo many adorable ones!

Update: tried the strawberry tea and it is officially my new favorite. It's sooooo good!

Strawberry tea sounds really good! I want strawberry tea!

I'd share some if I could!
My old favorite was this Mandarin orange honeybush tea, and I still have a whole unopened box of that that's just going to go neglected for a bit, lol.

That sounds amazing too! I want them all!

/sends you unopened box of tea
Maybe I should start a tea subscription service! :P
That's probably already a thing, though.

It probably is a thing, but tbh I like to test out a variety of subscription boxes when I can afford to because one might be better or offer a better variety than another.

Oh, that's a really good point!
I like subscription boxes a lot but I've only really tried, like, one. Lol. I enjoy watching certain "unboxing" videos for some just so I don't have to spend the money but can still experience the joy of finding out what's inside them. :P

Yeah, I've had a few different subscription boxes in the past for an assortment of things. I had to cancel them all for a while though since my finances are all messed up, but might re-subscribe to a few later on.

Oooh, what kinds were they? I was subscribed to a craft one for a bit, but it wasn't very consistent in arriving. I guess that's the only one I've ever had, actually. I for sure thought there had been at least one more but now I can't think of any others.

I did Loot Crate for 2 or 3 months, Blue Bottle Coffee, Julep (the nail polish only option because I don't wear makeup), I did a Yarn Box one for 1 month, and Graze (a decent snack box).

Does using green tea bags count? Because I've been trying to drink less sodas and drink other things that are better for me, so I've been trying different things. My aunt likes to use the green tea bags, and I've tried it a bit -- don't really like the taste that much at first but it's grown on me.
