Sorry, generic tea copypasta coming though here.

New to Tea? New to loose leaf? Let me help.

Hello, new friend. So you've stumbled your way into /r/tea, you probably though this was a subreddit for the Mr. T, but no worries you're here and you're in good hands. We're all tea fiends and we're all eager to share our fifteen minutes of meditation, our hobby and our little slice of heaven. So why should you consider switching from Lipton to something crazy like leaves some Chinese person picked off a tea bush?

  • Loose Leaf tea is often higher quality than your traditional tea bags.

  • Less preservatives or additives.

  • A greater variety of teas that are too delicate for tea bags or can't be effectively brewed that way.

  • Greater access to fine teas, you can't find good premium teas in tea bags.

  • It's more cost effective. You can pick up Twinning's Irish Breakfast tea (20 tea bags) for $2.99 at your local supermarket and that'll make you 20 cups of tea. With loose leaf tea you can buy 125 grams of Irish Breakfast from Upton Tea for $5.60, which will make you 100-150 cups of tea. You can re-brew the same tea leaves two or three times when it comes to loose leaf, but with a tea bag all the water penetrates the "tea dust" the first go.

  • It tastes better. That's 100-150 cups of far better tea than Twinnings. Not to say you can't get good tea out of a tea bag, but you'll get better tea with more control/flexibility when it come to loose leaf.

    So, Where To Start??

    ^^buy ^^theses ^^teas ^^first!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Where | Why?
    ---|---
    GoodLife Tea's $7 for 7 Sampler | Free Shipping! Robb has a fantastic variety of tasty high quality tea important for building up your tea pallet.
    Verdant's Five Teas for $5 | Free Shipping! Again, Verdant sells some premium quality tea. Think of their sampler as a crash course into the rich people's side of tea. But the catch with tea is that it's a lot more affordable than wine could ever hope to be. The sampler is great for building up your tea preferences and giving you a kickstart in the right direction.
    Upton Tea | My personal favorite store, they send a nice little paperback catalog every quater. They sell a huge variety of teas, from traditional English Breakfast to Tie-Guan-Yin. Not only that but they sell their teas in different grades meaning you can dabble in what is traditionally an expensive tea by trying a lower quality (but still delicious and tasty) grade of tea. You can find the grade and variety of tea that matches your wallet and taste. They also sell cheap samplers, if you wish you can take $20 and order around 15 samples and see where your cuppa takes you.
    Adagio | A personal favorite of /r/tea if you can find a store nearby! But don't fret, most of us buy our tea online so no worries if you're in Kodiak, Alaska and can't get down to an Adagio. They sell nice quality tea, their stores people are incredibly informed and helpful (unlike a certain Starbucks owned tea store). They also have Adagio XL which sells tea in bulk.
    Harney & Sons | Amazon Prime Shipping. I love my Amazon account, that's usually by go to place online shopping and being able to two-day ship a simple tin of Harney & Sons tea without the shipping cost is fantastic. They sell lots of teas and they're all very good. Maybe not the premium tea you'll see Chinese diplomats drinking but they in my opinion sell tea that all tastes great.
    Coffee Bean Direct | Who knew a place called
    Coffee Bean Direct* sold tea too? Again, with Amazon Prime Shipping this seems to be the place to buy tea in bulk. They're well reviewed and their tea seems to be good. If you're like me and cold brew ice tea frequently then this might be the best place to pick up some bulkier tea to last you the season.
    Crimson Lotus | Owned by a frequenter of /r/tea, Puerh_Lover stocks a great store with lots of neat little stuff. Be warned, he caters to pu'er which is a type of fermented tea pressed into bricks or pellets. In other words this is a special variety of tea that needs special equipment and special knowledge to brew. Don't fret if you're not walking out of /r/tea after a day brewing in a gaiwan.
    White2Tea | More lovely pu'er.
    Yunnan Sourcing | Again, more pu'er, but also lots of green and white teas too. They sell teaware for good prices too so if you're looking to pick up a traditional china teacup or gaiwan this is a good place to get that.
    What-Cha | Another beloved store on /r/tea, but they're pretty pricey at times. But you can always expect good quality tea and a looser wallet from here.

    Just How Do You Make Tea?

    Traditional Western | Gongfu | Cold Brew
    ---|---|----
    The way you're probably familiar with when it comes to brewing tea, all it requires is a teapot like this one (I highly recommend this teapot). Western or Traditional works well with every kind of tea. It's the universal method of making tea and the best place to start. | This kind of brewing is very specific as it only works with Chinese type teas like pu'er. This method of making tea is hands down the best way to make a Chinese styled tea and does wonders to enhance and bring out the best in the leaves. But this method wont work for a cuppa English Breakfast or Japanese Sencha. To brew Gongfu style you use a gaiwan which is fancy talk for a tiny cup with a lid. The idea behind Gongfu is more leaves, less water and time. You use micro-infusions instead of waiting minutes like Western or hours like Cold Brewing. | Cold Brewing is for those of us who just love iced tea. It's simple to cold brew, a vessel like this will brew a mean pitcher of ice tea. All you have to do is leave the leaves in the filter and wait 5-12 hours for the tea to brew, perfect for leaving overnight. Fair Warning: tea can go bad, the kind of stuff you'd buy at the store has a massive amount of preservatives in it. Keep your cold brewing tea out of the sunlight and don't let it sit for more than 48 hours.

    On Kettles

    So you're going to need a way to keep your water hot. A stovetop kettle is probably the most accessible and the biggest no brainer out of everything here. A microwave heats water inconsistently, can leave an odd taste if your microwave isn't properly clean, and you really don't have a good way of knowing how hot the water is. Temperature is important. Brewing a cuppa green tea in boiling water will result in a pretty shitty cup of tea, and brewing some black tea in the water appropriate for green tea will result in a disappointing cuppa.

    You also have electric kettles like the Cuisinart CPK-17 which is going to cost as much as a decent coffee machine but if tea is your caffeine fix then it might be worth it. The Cuisinart is a variable temperature kettle meaning you just have to press a button and it makes the water the appropriate temperature for whatever kind of tea you're drinking.


    Tea | Temperature
    ---|---
    Black | 212
    Green | 175
    White | 190
    Oolong | 185
    Pu'er | 212
    Herbal | 212

    Where To Buy Tea Equipment? What Equipment Might You Want To Buy?

    Umi Tea Sets sells lots of cute tea sets. They also sell pretty much any kind of vessel you can brew tea in, from Yixing to Japanese tea sets.

    Mr. Coffee Tea Kettle A simple, $10 stovetop kettle to boil some water. It seems to have a little hole in it for a thermometer to go in if you need to measure your water temperature.

    Glass Whistling Kettle I have one of these, you can tell water temperature from the bubbles if you learn to read them well. It’s pretty handy but if I could I would exchange it for the Mr. Coffee.

    CPK-17 Electronic Kettle probably the device that makes most of /r/tea’s mouths water (that might just be the tea). This is pretty much the best electronic kettle you can buy, cheaper than a K-Cup Coffee machine. It has temperatures for making all kinds of tea labeled nicely. I have one and I love it.

No worries. With that in mind, you'll want to do a few things before anything else.

You'll have a few challenges ahead of you, but if you're willing to put in some elbow grease and a bit of cash, and your friends are amiable to you making a few modifications, you can have a nice tiny house. The fact that you're looking at living there for the next few years implies you're willing to do some work to make it nice. Your immediate challenges include:

  • Weatherproofing. The shed will need to be insulated so you can stay comfortable, and ideally with a moisture barrier to keep mold away. Read up on insulation requirements here and vapor barriers here.
  • Electricity. You'll need some power in the shed for things like your computer, charging your phone, running an air conditioner, etc.
  • Privacy. You cannot be caught or else you'll be out on your ass, so avoiding the neighbors as much as possible is a must.
  • Comfort. You'll need a bed, space for your belongings, and some basic creature comforts for those days when you simply can't go anywhere else.

    One thing missing is plumbing. I am hopefully correct in assuming that your friends will allow you to use their bathroom, shower, etc.

    First, you'll need to insulate the place. This is to keep your space warm during cooler times and cool during warmer times. The easiest way to accomplish this is with foam sheeting insulation, available at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. You simply cut the foam to size and press it in between the studs that make up the walls; friction holds it in place. Cut as carefully as you can as any gaps means a space where heat can bleed through. If your friends are okay with it, you can patch up small gaps between the foam and the studs using expanding spray foam insulation. Insulating the roof is a little more challenging but can be done in much the same way. I'm not a contractor so you'll want to do some research into installing insulation and vapor barriers.

    Once insulation is in place you can finish the walls with drywall or other wall coverings, nailed into the studs. Drywall has higher cost and is harder to work with; you might want to consider something simpler like wood paneling. If you want to go on the cheap and are willing to work a bit, start collecting and disassembling shipping palettes. Remove all the nails from the boards, sand the boards smooth, then nail the boards between the studs to cover the walls. When you're done you can paint it or stain it or seal it.

    The bare plywood floor is going to be a turnoff, and I would avoid carpet since you won't have a way to clean it. On the plus side, since the shed will be a small space you can get a couple of boxes of good quality vinyl plank flooring and lay it all down in a single afternoon. It'll be durable, attractive, and easy to clean.

    For electricity, don't even think about running an extension cord as there's too many ways that could go wrong. I might consider two options. A couple of solar panels on the roof connected to a couple of simple car batteries can provide reasonable DC power for indoor LED lighting, charging your phone, running a fan or Bluetooth speaker, and other low-load devices. Supplement that with a gas-powered generator for higher load items like an air conditioner. Gasoline generators are cheap and run for up to eight hours on a tank of gas. When shopping, find one that's QUIET and reliable (read: Honda).

    If the shed has any windows you'll want to install something that will keep light from bleeding out and prevent people from peeking in. The last thing you want is for a cop car to drive by and wonder why there are lights on in a shed late at night. Consider applying mirrored blackout film (allows light in, doesn't allow light out) to the windows and installing blackout curtains on the inside.

    Air circulation is going to be key to your comfort. A hang-out-the-window air conditioner isn't in your future, nor is lighting a fire. Consider a small portable heater/AC unit that you can connect to your generator for power. Some of the better ones also act as dehumidifiers (if you're in a damp area) which can be helpful. If your shed has cross ventilation grates near the roof, consider changing them out for powered fans that can be connected to your solar batteries, and are reversible so that you can have good airflow as needed.

    A convertible bed or futon would likely be your best approach for sleeping arrangements. If your shed's roof has horizontal beams inside like the green boards pictured here then you might even be able to get creative with some plywood and build a loft bedroom up there. Screw down the plywood, cover the floor with more vinyl planks, put a small mattress up there, and set up a ladder to get up and down.

    Then it's just an exercise in minimal living. Forget about a big TV or high-end gaming computer; use a laptop as your "entertainment center" and stream everything. (Oh, right: If your wifi isn't strong enough from the house you may want to bump your data plan to "unlimited" and use your phone as your internet access point for your laptop.) Be careful with appliances as they often consume a lot of electricity (you don't want to be running your generator 24/7). An insulated water cooler filled with ice and water from the house can provide a convenient and cool water source for several days.
u/havestronaut · 1 pointr/Coffee

It just takes some experimentation. At this point, I've got my system down and I still make a bitter cup every once in a while. It's usually thanks to a faulty seal. If pressure escapes out the side of the pot, your batch is ruined. Make sure the gasket is totally clean, and that you don't overfill the basket!

Here's how I make my approximation of a cappuccino/latte drink:

  • Start electric kettle boiling water
  • Stainless milk frother filled 1/4 with almond milk (I prefer not to consume too much dairy and Trader Joe's almond milk is excellent, milk works well too though) on low heat gas burner.
  • Fill basket with coffee (I prefer a slightly finer grind than I often see recommended... 2 steps coarser than espresso or so.) I use a shot glass to balance the basket while filling.
  • Pour boiling water into base (I fill just under the pressure valve, so the water isn't touching the valve.)
  • Insert basket and tighten top (use a towel or paper towel to prevent burning your hand on the base. It's already hot.)
  • Quickly apply medium high heat (I have a gas stove, and eye ball the size of the flame so it's just the size of the base.) I prefer higher heat than I often see recommended. Contrary to how it may seem, the lower heat leads to longer heat exposure, which leads to bitter coffee in my experience.
  • Keep an eye out, if done correctly, coffee will appear very quickly (haven't timed it, but under a minute I'd say).
  • Right when the coffee starts to lighten in color, but before it starts gurgling, remove from the stove and immediately run cold water from the tap over the base for about 10 seconds. It's ok if it's less coffee than you expect. We're going for flavor and strength, not quantity. It won't quite fill the top basin.
  • Quickly pour into your coffee cup.
  • Pump milk frother and pour over coffee. Enjoy!

    With this method (and I have been trying a variety of minute changes for almost a year) you will get sweet, strong coffee with no bitterness. At this point, I prefer my own coffee in my moka pot to most coffees I have tried "in the wild." The great $4 espresso spots of course still make an excellent latte/cortado, but mine is damned good. It also makes a great Americano if you put extra water in your electric kettle.

    Also, I highly recommend PT's Southpaw espresso for the moka pot. Seems to really suit its strengths, and is excellent when accompanied with milk.

TL;DR : Tea.

Long version :

Tea is not a beverage. It is a ritual. When done right, tea is a god damn spiritual experience.

How to do tea right on the cheap.

  • Tea bags. No. Just...no. No no no 10000 times no. Loose leaf tea is essential to making this the ritual it deserves to be. I can't recommend Adagio enough. Good service, quick shipping, and good quality for not much $. if you're totally new to the whole "tea as an experience" thing, I highly suggest one of the sampler packs. $10-$15 for several blends of various varieties!
  • Get a glass pot with a glass infuser. Lots to be said about ceramic as well, and yes glass teaware must be handled with great care...but part of the magic is watching things happen. Whatever you do, avoid metal teaware, as it can alter the taste, especially of "less stable" blends. MANY glass teapots are sold with metal infusers, so be careful. My personal favorite is Grosche teaware, and a very nice little glass pot/glass infuser set can be had from Amazon for $30.
  • Warm up your teaware before steeping. While the kettle is boiling, fill the pot (with infuser in it) with hot tap water and let it sit. Bring the teaware up to a warm temperature first, so you don't lose heat during the steeping process to warming the cold teaware.

    ---

    The suggestions above aren't meant to turn you into a highly experienced tea connoisseur overnight (or even at all...though if they start you on your way, the more's the better)

    What they WILL do, however, is turn tea into a ritualistic relaxation experience of epic proportions.

    You'll open a new container of a new blend, and you won't smell the tea...you'll TASTE it with your entire olfactory system.

    You'll putter around measuring out the right amount of leaf...you'll carefully handle your glass teaware...you'll take the time to prepare carefully...and you'll realize that this is all part of the experience. it's your own time to do something with patience and attention and craftsmanship.

    You'll set the infuser of tea into the teapot of hot water, and a whole new set of scents and flavors will greet you.

    You'll watch as some leaves open up, others close, some float, some sink, as the entire blend is alive, and moves around, and this very action is part of what mixes flavors and oils and leaves.

    You'll savor the anticipation of the few minutes you allow things to steep, as you watch the color change from clear to light to dark to whatever color you prefer.

    Days and weeks and months and years spent steeping different blends at different temps for different times will reward you with an entirely new palette.

    And all it takes is a few bucks, and the willingness to devote 10 minutes of your day to learning a new skill. :)

    ---

    Don't bash me, other tea snobs. :) Yes, there's LOTS of superior sources for high end blends and high grade leaf, and LOTS of different ways to steep and prep and enjoy, and a ZILLION arguments about the best materials and so on.

    The above is simply an introduction designed to open the door for someone whose tea experience to date has been Lipton bags in a microwaved mug of water. :)


u/WyVernon · 3 pointsr/Aquariums

Wanted to contribute to the thread, so I did a quick pass on amazon for "glass beverage dispensers", with the following parameters:

  • 1 Gallon minimum
  • Cheap(ish) like the price of the original; ~$25
  • Clear Glass (not hammered or ribbed or whatever)
  • Simple Shape (Circle, Square, Hex, or Octa shape; dont want to be too distracting)
  • Minimal beveling/ornamentation (don't want to distract, or weaken glass (?) )


    Basic Jars

    Anchor Hocking #1
    Anchor Hocking #2

    These two are the same brand, I used the non-spigoted version of this brand for my low-tech shrimp tank. This is a known and respected homewares brand so I kinda trust it. Also, for the second one:

    > The extra metal spigot is a must. The one it comes with is useless plastic.

    Everyone replaces the spigot it seems. That's a recurring theme in the comments for most of these that come with plastic spigots. Keep that in mind for whatever you purchase.


    [Circleware] (https://www.amazon.com/Circleware-Dispenser-Glassware-Serveware-Drinkware/dp/B01HOUE874/)

    Has wording on the front, maybe that doesn't bother you though. Drillable lid, goes up to 2 gallons, and has a 4 star rating despite 647 reviews. I saw this brand a lot so I assume it's good quality.




    Good but more expensive jars

    [Artland 1 Gal] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C40TXYI)
    [Artland 2 Gal] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DSC998Q)
    [Artland 3 Gal] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QNI2XIK/)

    Come in 1-3 Gallons. The 1 Gal has a (likely) drillable top, although the lid is loosely threaded according to some users. Apparently someone had the same idea to make a tank out of a jar... with a Betta shudders

    > I purchased this as a betta fish tank for my kitchen(easy clean with spigot). It not only is adorable, but it works wonderfully and does not leak one bit. I would definately recommend this product.

    To be clear, I was shuddering at her spelling AND the cramped tank. Many people recommend changing the spigot, and I would use the space under the stand to hold / hide extra fish stuff.

    2 and 3 both have an infuser, and stand. The infuser could be useful
    as a place for fry to hide maybe? I'm new, but maybe there are other uses for it that would justify the price.



    [Emenest Glass] (https://www.amazon.com/Emenest-Glass-Beverage-Dispenser-Spigot/dp/B01JK1VSHS)

    The major note for this one is that it has especially thick glass, which is supposed to help maintain temperature. Comes with a nifty chalkboard, useful for reminding your snails to clean up. The lid might make wiring a hassle but I'm including it nonetheless.


    Farmstand

    Costly, but comes with a handle to pick up the tank for water changes to your desired water source. I would use the inverted bucket to hide fish stuff. TONS of reviews and it maintains a 4.5 rating.


    The above is just a starting point, you can use the same search string to find your own, if you haven't made an irl purchase already.

    If it isn't clear by now, I really like this idea. I did something similar with a plain glass jar after reading Diana Walstad's Ecology of the Planted Aquarium and tried my hand at a low tech dirt tank. It smelled awful but the red cherries loved it -- so I might do it again someday.

u/saltyteabag · 6 pointsr/tea

Maybe you could have an assortment of teaware so people could pick? Call the 100ml a "small" for 1-2 people, and call the 200ml a "large" for 2-4 people.

I'm not familiar with those exact pots, but I like that style. They're great for beginners or people not familiar with a gaiwan. I started out with a very similar pot made by Hario (this one) and have been very happy with it. Maybe you could also keep around a couple gaiwans just in case someone wants to try one?

This sounds like a great idea, though. I wish there was a shop near me that served tea gongfu style like this!

u/fenderfreek · 5 pointsr/tea

Like most anything else, there's no less than a bazillion options, and everyone will have their own take on which ones you should begin with.

If you can find a tea shop reasonably close, I recommend buying an ounce or two of several teas. Any reasonably large city should have a tea shop, you may have one near you. Take note of how to properly brew each one and give it a try. Experiment with the steep time and temperature a little if it's not quite to your liking, or if you're just feeling adventurous.

If buying in person isn't feasible, try a sample pack or similar from a reputable online vendor. There are some links in the sidebar that will help with that.

Get a tea kettle for boiling your water, good ones can be had from a variety of online retailers, like teas, but home goods stores will usually have a decent kettle. Electric or stovetop doesn't really matter much, I use a stovetop kettle myself.

With a kettle and tea in hand, you have a couple options for brewing. The best (IMO) is a proper tea pot, and there are many styles available. I have this one, and it's pretty foolproof and sturdy:
Bodum Assam Teapot

Alternatively, you can just use tea filters, like this:
Tea Filters
It's basically a DIY tea bag.

That is my recommendation for equipment, and only based on what I have personally used. I will let others offer suggestions for specific teas to order online, as I make all my purchases locally and can't recommend anything in particular.

u/tme001 · 2 pointsr/tea

Get a tea pot.

http://www.amazon.com/FORLIFE-Stump-18-Ounce-Teapot-Infuser/dp/B000FLG8XC

This is a good one, it holds about 16 oz of tea and comes with an infuser.

You'll also need tea, which you can find from nearly anywhere. I like ordering from Adagio, their tea is good. Get loose leaf if that's what you're wanting to do. I recommend starting with a black, green, white, and oolong tea. If you like flavors, great, I prefer just the pure tea. I would start with just pure tea to get a baseline for what they're like.

You can take the hobby as deep as you'd like. I would really recommend you get an electric kettle as well because you can easily heat water at an exact temperature, they're very useful because each type of tea steeps at a different temp and time.

u/DaGoodBoy · 3 pointsr/tea

My ritual includes the following items which make tea at work for me:

  • The electric kettle
  • The personal tea mug
  • The meeting tea pot

    This is the best $60 I ever spent. These are my favorite teas I can recommend:

  • Ahmad Barooti Assam - for the mornings
  • Rooibos - A root tea popular in Africa, also called "bush tea" for the afternoons

    Boil water, steep and drink! I usually load up on the tea and steep for about 5 minutes because I like my tea strong. The Nissan Thermos is the best insulated mug I've ever owned. It has kept my tea hot for about 4 hours with the lid on. Absolutely amazing.
u/carlaacat · 2 pointsr/tea

I love sencha (and I often add a slice or two of fresh ginger-- which also helps with nausea, by the way, if she will be undergoing chemo) and jasmine pearls. They're best in looseleaf form so I would also gift her a small pot with a steeper, something like this.

I like these teas for their soothing aroma and taste-- they don't have any magical, cure-all benefits.

u/_reboot_ · 3 pointsr/Coffee

I just recently got the V60 for myself and I love it. I'm not by any means a perfectionist when it comes to my techniques, but I can most definitely notice the difference between this and my old brew methods (French Press / Drip).

I got the all glass setup with an all stainless steel electric kettle. It doesn't have variable temp, but I can guess well enough. I was going to go with a metal filter but decided against it. Natural filter papers are fine IMO.

Cleanup requires you to simply ditch the filter with grounds and then follow that up by rinsing out the containers. Not bad at all. In regards to your worry about knocking your current setup over, this setup (dripper and pot), are just set one on top of another. Just be weary of that as well.

u/lobster_johnson · 1 pointr/Coffee

Electric milk frothers like the Voche aren't very good. They whip air into the milk using a dinky little magnetic whisk while heating, and they just can't operate at high enough energy to approximate the effect of a steam wand. It gets foamy, but it's more like soap foam than microfoam.

You can make decent, but not great, microfoam with the steam wand that comes with espresso machines, though it's dependent on how high the boiler pressure you can get. Some consumer machines help you with a so-called panarello wand, a gadget that I believe was invented by Saeco/Gaggia, which is a replacement for an ordinary steam wand, and which has an additional hole that sucks in air while it's steaming, which supposedly improves the foaming abilities; some people like it, some don't. Saeco/Gaggia also invented a type of accessory called a cappuccinatore, which is a spherical chamber that draws in the milk and combines it with steam to produce a finer foam. Better than the steam wand, in my opinion, but still not perfect.

My best results have been with a manual pump frother like this one from HIC. This low-tech gadget produces the best microfoam I've been able to produce at home, bar none. Add heated milk, pump for 20 seconds, and done. It doesn't sound like it should work, but it does; it produces velvety microfoam that doesn't collapse right away. Unfortunately, these frothers are not designed to be put directly on a burner, so in theory you should be warming up the milk in a pan or microwave, but in theory you could do this, as long as you have something to hold the handle with.

I haven't tried the Bellman product the other commenter recommended, but given the small boiler size I suspect it's similar to having a steam wand on a consumer machine. Still worth a try. But the HIC is cheaper.

So I wasn't gonna contribute, considering almost all my gear has already been posted, but if you have a V60 and are making multiple cups, I highly suggest this, a Hario server:

I just got one last week, and it's awesome. I mean, it's no better at its job than any other container that a V60 sits on, but since hario makes it, it is a perfect fit, it comes with a lid, and it's nice to look at.

u/consorts · 8 pointsr/tea

search for an "ice tea maker" on amazon from mr.coffee, hamilton beach, west bend. they all make models that brew 2L-3L properly every time. i still use an old mr.coffee TM3 model which is cheap and works great even after 1,000 brew cycles. trust me, i know what i'm talking about - i drink 2-3L each DAY. I use standard dirt cheap 8-12cup coffee filters when brewing loose tea in the TM3. once you find the model you like, double check pricing at walmart.com as they often sell kitchen gadgets at a deeper discount with cheap ground shipping.

be mindful of your sweetener since you drink so much. years ago i switch from sugar to cheap kirkland(costco) sucralose(splenda) which helps keep weight off and my teeth from rotting, but if you don't want artificial, then your only choice is Stevia which may take a while to get used to it's leafy aftertaste. I suggest cheaper bulk Stevioside 90% powder, not any commercial brand. i flavor my tea with an extra ounce per cup of milk, pink grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, or peach nectar, whenever I find them on sale, so no need to buy exotic tea blends, as any robust black or green will do.

one additional suggestion is to be mindful of your tap water quality. i use a counter top canister filter for under $30 that will last for years, and totally removes the chloramines(ammonia taste) from my NYC tap water.

I recommend brewing with broken piece loose teas, not full leaves, since broken pieces will agitate better in a 8-12 cup filter and give you a deeper richer full tea brew flavor and color. my favorite high volume best value black tea brewing would be Dilmah http://www.amazon.com/Dilmah-Ceylon-Loose-4-41-Ounce-Boxes/dp/B00112GBO0 or for a wide flavor blend try Taylors; http://www.amazon.com/Taylors-Harrogate-Yorkshire-8-8-Ounce-Packages/dp/B001E5DXY0 and you only need 1 gram per 8oz cup while measuring i recommend using a cheap $10 digital postage scale since you need to measure by weight not volume(spoons). if you don't want to deal with filters and weighing, use http://www.amazon.com/PG-Tips-160-Bags-17-6/dp/B000YB7XQ4 at a ratio of 1 bag per pint, so for a gallon or 2L-3L i use 8 bags - these are large cotton bags that leave the tea room to agitate - unlike most commercial paper tea bags that can only seep.

in my daily ritual the way my TM3 works is the pitcher is double the capacity of the brew water hopper (presumably so you can add ice cubes to the pitcher). so I double cycle brew the same leaves till my 3L pitcher is nearly full, then I transfer it to any 2L-3L size liquid serving or storage container and add my sweetener there. I use gallon plastic screw cap jugs, but you can go with glass by using http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DE9B5 to keep the brewed tea liquid from new air exposure. by using air sealed containers you can stock up to a weeks worth of tea in your fridge before a fermentation taste is noticeable on pre-sweetened with splenda or stevia - with sugar the fermentation taste is noticeable by the forth day.

Lots of pens, sharpies, highlighters, and pencils in jars next to a picture frame. There are binders, a culinary book, and a sketch book. It's a mess.

Open the nearest book to a random page and post the first sentence from that page. "The straw on the floor stank of urine. There was no window, no bed, not even a slop bucket."

What book was it? A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin

I posted it in my own response, but it's worth another mention..the Bodum Kenya, or the Bodum Assam are both great for steeping loose leaf tea. I brew most of my tea in a Kenya, including making stronger brews for iced tea. These pitchers/kettles/whatever are good at keeping leaves separate, so you can pour your tea over a full pitcher of ice from them and stick it in the fridge.

Also, any French Press does this job pretty handily.

Can someone point me in the right direction of a website that I can get affordable fresh loose leaf tea? I am an avid coffee drinker and I'm looking into tea when I want a hot drink to enjoy and relax with. I am a college student so budget is an issue. Also, what kind of gear should I start off with to brew my own loose leaf tea? I have a gooseneck kettle for coffee so boiling water is not an issue. I found this teapot on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZOLU1VI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A288LJKUH48CHC&psc=1), is it good quality?

u/GTR128 · 2 pointsr/Coffee

If it does not fit and you need a gooseneck I would suggest just getting a stove top gooseneck like this. It has a thermometer so you can always check the temp. I have a non gooseneck electric kettle and couldn't justify spending 80$ for just the gooseneck so I got the stovetop one. It's fully stainless steel so it holds the temp pretty well. I haven't tried to see how well it works pouring from the electric kettle straight into the gooseneck after I pre heat it though.

I have this Bodum teapot at home which does stop the tea from steeping when the plunger is pressed down. A French press won't work in the same way.

  1. V8 is not tomato juice, it's vegetable juice. Plain old tomato juice is preferable. Or even Clamato for Bloody Caesars.

  2. You could add a piece of horseradish and a small microplane, and maybe a little bottle of Worcestershire sauce.

  3. Some lemons would be nice too, and some kosher or celery salt to rim the glass. Oh! Or some super-easy preserved lemons.

  4. Skip the Siracha. Besides being clichéd, it's also very garlicky, and while garlic is delicious, it overpowers other subtler flavors in a delicious Bloody Mary.

  5. Might be tricky to stay under $20, but some highball glasses, a simple glass pitcher and a bar spoon would also be good additions.

What you are describing is 2 bags every 3 days, so 20 bags a month. Start out with a one time purchase of 7 bags (28 meals) and try it out, you may not like it right away, so eat it for a week. If you don't like it, you can easily sell the remaining bags for what you paid for them and just walk away. If you like it and still want to do like you describe, go with the 21 bag subscription which they call 84 meals.

If you do like it, buy this and one of these to make your life a million times easier and to make the Soylent taste better IMO.

Remember that once you mix up a bag of it, you have 3 days to finish it if it is refrigerated. I would also suggest getting a couple of 1 liter blender bottles, but that is not necessary just more convenient.

Are you specifically looking for cast iron? Most do better with a tea-warmer, as cast iron can lose heat quickly. Also, it doesn't come with a infuser basket.

If you are just looking for a nice teapot, you should check out the Stump teapot. It comes with an infuser basket. I have one and love it. My only complaint is that the basket can be hard to get out, since it doesn't have a handle. I think the Curve teapots do have handles on the basket, although that's a bit more expensive than the Stump.

I swear by ingenuiTEA (they also have a 64oz one). I've bought all the tea lovers in my life one. It's dishwasher-safe, the handle never gets hot to the touch, and you can steep as little or as much loose-leaf as you like. It's freaking magic to everyone who sees it for the first time, because it's gravity-fed and all the tea drains out through the bottom into the mug.

Make sure you buy at least one spare filter, though. I've accidentally thrown one away when throwing out the used tea leaves (look, I don't function well in the morning before I've had my first cuppa, okay???) and another time I accidentally popped one out in the sink and it fell down the garbage disposal, I didn't see it, turned on the disposal, and it made the most god-awful noise.

Seconded. My only additional comment is that it is important to remember that you should adjust your grind depending on the quantity that you're making.

For instance, if I'm only making a cup for myself in my v60, then I'll use a medium-fine grind. If I'm making a full pot, then I'll do a medium to medium-coarse. The reason, which may seem obvious, is that you still want similar extraction times. A coarser grind will allow you to hit that same extraction time on a larger batch.

We brought one of these and filled it with water. We also brough a little scrub brush and some soap. Precooking as much stuff as you can is definitely the way to go. And if you are going to cook bring foil and it will make it a little less messy if you put that down first.

I have this one and it's held up fine so far. It's a Buono style copy but with an integrated thermometer.

I got one of these bad boys about a month ago have have used it multiple times daily since then. I can't even drink tea/coffee without frothed milk now, that's how amazing it is.

Is that similar to this

u/allergictoapples · 4 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I have this. It's great. You heat the milk on the stove.

I believe it's this set. I have that set my self.

[Stainless] (https://www.amazon.com/X-Chef-Stainless-Espresso-Shatterproof-Unbreakable/dp/B012FRA8UC) Steel Coffee Press. I used to break them all the time till I found this one. I love it.

I ordered this. I was gonna get an electric one but this is a lot cheaper and has the thermometer built in so that's nice.

I sort of prefer the mechanical ones:

If you froth it a bit then put it in the microwave it gets real poofy.

We make espresso with a stainless stovetop percolator similar to this

Our aerolatte frother recently died, we liked it until we replaced it with this which makes an incredible microfoam

Absolutely agree on milk frothing. Bought a manual (pump) one a few months ago and have used it every. single. day. A little more expensive at $20 but no batteries and it's not just plastic for the landfil! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000X7GF40/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Personally I have been using this one from Amazon for a long time and have nothing but good things to say about it, although I recently left it on my stove for way to long and ruined it, so I've been thinking about replacing it with this one.
