You would enjoy loose leaf tea a lot better most likely.

For example good loose leaf chinese tea from a vender like https://yunnansourcing.com / https://yunnansourcing.us and the other good vendors in our list brewed gongfu style will be many times stronger than a standard proper brewing.

But even just getting a little basket infuser for real cheap like one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LQ7NQTW/ and decent loose leaf tea will be far better than what you have tried.

If you have questions feel free to ask and we will do our best to help you :)

u/Hopeful_Skeptic · 5 pointsr/tea

Check out Harney & Sons online for a start- they have free shipping to the US and samples of each variety so you can try a ton to get familiar with them.
For brewing loose-leaf tea, I'd recommend a mug basket (something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LQ7NQTW/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_ZYLJDbX22BVEJ -- You set it in the mug and add a heaping teaspoon or so of the tea and then pour the hot water over it) It's the simplest way- in my opinion!

Also, for green tea you'll definitely want a simple digital thermometer to check the water temperature. Water temps should be only 160 to 175 for green teas, vs 200-212 (boiling) for black.

When choosing teas, there are 2 categories to consider- flavored and unflavored. It's easy to be drawn to flavored teas (with enticing names such as "chocolate chai"). But if you want to really become acquainted with tea and what makes the different types distinctive, I'd recommend trying pure, unflavored teas. It's incredible how flavorful they are and you'll know that what you're tasting is only the pure tea, not added flavorings.

The more common types of tea are black, green, and oolong. All originate from the same plant. They vary greatly in flavor based on where/how they're grown & processed (China and India are the major origins of Black tea, Japan and China for green tea, and China and Taiwan for Oolong.)
There's also "tea" which is not actual tea but called tea anyway- like rooibos, and herbal infusions such as chamomile. It's a mild personal pet peeve when they're referred to as tea only because it can be confusing/misleading for people who don't yet know much about tea.
(My favorite types of tea currently are Japanese greens- try out Japanese Sencha, Sencha scent of mountains, Genmaicha [green tea with toasted rice], & hojicha [roasted green tea]- all are delicious and very unique from each other!)

More details please! (Also I assume you meant infuser - but if you do want a tea scented oil diffuser then let us know!)


What's your budget? Is this person Really Into Tea or just Kinda Into Tea?

​

This one is my favorite https://www.adagio.com/teaware/ingenuiTEA_teapot.html

​

This style of strainer is another favorite. https://www.amazon.com/Yoassi-Extra-Fine-Approved-Stainless/dp/B01LQ7NQTW *They make a lot of versions of these so you may want to find others and read reviews.


There are plenty of cute and silly ones out there but I find them to be more of a pain to clean and care for.


u/oldhippy1947 · 4 pointsr/tea

I'd recommend staying away from those little tea ball infusers. Loose leaf needs room to expand and they can't do that in a little tea ball. Either get a teapot with a builtin infuser or if you want to start out smaller and slower, get a cup infuser like this one:

https://smile.amazon.com/Yoassi-Extra-Fine-Approved-Stainless/dp/B01LQ7NQTW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=cup+tea+infuser&qid=1550600315&s=gateway&sr=8-1

u/dda0002 · 3 pointsr/bloomington

I'm partial to something like this instead of the bags though mine is plastic rather than stainless.

u/ShinigamiSirius · 3 pointsr/Nootropics

I find the gourd method to be an overly complicated way to make a simple tea. Just throw some loose leaf in a tea infuser, soak with some cool/cold water for a minute, then pour hot water (around 180ish). Brew for ~5 min, strain, done. You can throw your theanine in at this stage.

u/john-bkk · 2 pointsr/tea

I'll list some of my own favorite teaware, but I'm not sure how it would match up with your expectations or her preferences.

ceramic teapot, grandma style: I had one of these I really liked, which was lost in a move (stolen by customs, probably). If you are ok with the idea of looking at local thrift shops for that might be the way to go. There's no reason something like this couldn't be sold new but a really classic look and feel works even better, and ceramic cleans up as well as anything you might buy.

glass teapot: I have one just because I picked it up in Chinatown on a whim, a Kamjove version. Since I don't brew tea Western style much and usually use a different device I hardly ever use it, but it is functional, and cool looking.

basket infuser: my parents bought me one of these (not a teapot, but it seems as well to move off that theme). It's a "For Life" brand version, and it works a lot better than I expected, so I actually do use it. Those cost more than I'd ever pay for a Western style brewing device (around $30, as I recall), but other versions online cover the same function, one just mentioned here in a post not long ago: https://www.amazon.com/Yoassi-Extra-Fine-Approved-Stainless/dp/B01LQ7NQTW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=basket+infuser&qid=1574063246&sr=8-1

gaiwan: way off the subject; this is a much better way to brew tea. It's just a different approach, "Gong Fu" instead of Western style, kind of a long story. For as inexpensive as these types of items tend to be you could probably pick her up an inexpensive gaiwan, that basket infuser, and a glass teapot for not very much at all, and kick her tea habit into a next gear.

We might talk about the tea part; a token effort at upgrading her exposure to that too would be great. What kinds does she like?

u/Mojo_of_Jojos · 2 pointsr/kratom

Hey!!

I tried this tonight! I haven’t had the tea yet I’m waiting until closer to bedtime, but we drink lots of tea in our household, so instead of the melitta plastic thing you linked, I used the brown coffee filter with a fine meshed tea infuser I had in the kitchen, it’s not exactly like the link below, but pretty much. The paper filter fit fine.

I didn’t let the water boil, but get hot. I don’t have lemon right now so I made a paste first, transferred the hot water, and am now filtering it. I added a bit of stevia for the bitterness, and I was advised against using teaspoons so I measured 3g on my food scale. I’ll get a more precise scale eventually, but does this method sound close to what you were describing? I assume the lemon is for taste, I can get it tomorrow. Have to admit, the 3g was more than what I was using originally, so it goes to show using teaspoons aren’t always accurate. I’ll report back on sleep this weekend. Thanks!!

u/spicynavigator · 2 pointsr/ExmoPsych

I agree with the general advice to not take psychs with an anxious mindset... BUT with that low of a dose and the trip sitter you'll have, I wouldn't worry too much about it. In fact starting low isn't too bad of a strategy to alleviate that anxiety and make the feeling of shrooms more familiar.

But you should do some research to know what to expect. This post is a good start.

This is the first place I would look: The Shroomery Dosage Calc: https://www.shroomery.org/6257/Magic-Mushroom-Dosage-Calculator

Based on 1.5g and your standard cubensis shrooms, you should expect a level 2 experience which you can read the effects of. Basically, as others said, you will probably be really stoned.

>I was planning on 1.5 grams for each of us. And making a tea with it.

This is my preference. This is what I do specifically:

  • I use herbal tumeric ginger tea. (Couple it with a tea with a strong flavor to counteract the ick of the shrooms. Ginger is supposed to help counteract nausea.)
  • Use a loose leaf strainer. It just bought it in a tea shop its its essentially like this: https://www.amazon.com/Yoassi-Extra-Fine-Approved-Stainless/dp/B01LQ7NQTW
  • Boil the water. It doesnt need to cool down before brewing because your brew time will be long and the hotter water will extract the drug better.
  • Brew the tea for 5 minutes with coarsely crumbled shroom and then add the other tea; brew 5 minutes longer. (adjust for how long your other tea needs to brew, just as long as the shrooms get 10 minutes total brew time)

    For grinding the shrooms, anything works. I usually try to get it coarse so I dont end up drinking so much shroom powder :P I tend to use a kitchen mortar and pestle, but crushing it in a sandwich bag works great too.

    >Fasting before hand.

    Meh. Just don't eat a big heavy meal beforehand. I've heard that fasting helps (and I have), but it didn't move the dial for me too much. Its just less food to throw up if you get nauseous.

    >Will we have munchies? Should we plan for that?

    It has the opposite effect. You really wont want to eat. Just have a healthy plant-based snack for when you come down. Fruit is a great choice.

    >Anything else we should plan on?

  • Make a playlist and bring some headphones. At some point you may just want to lay down and close your eyes. The music can help center you. Find something mostly instrumental and epic. Sigur Ros, m83, shoegazey music in general works well for me. Anything forceful sounding is going to feel like a hammer against your temple--- avoid it.
  • Bring paper and pen to takes notes or draw on.
  • Dont count on using technology with screens -- phones, TV, etc.. It will feel like a major drag at some point.
  • You are going to be giggly, like a laughing Buddha. I believe thats the effect of new pathways opening up and surprising your brain with unexpected insights-- pure comedy for your brain.
u/articulating_smoke · 2 pointsr/PsilocybinMushrooms

Here's my tea recipe:

-In a sauce pot, bring 14oz of water to a boil, turn off heat

-Steep green (or your choice of) tea for 5-7 mins, throw out tea bag

-Turn heat back to medium and add dry ground up mushrooms

-Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer making sure the material is moving around

-Boil for 12-15 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides

-It's going to reduce a bit, so make sure you watch the pot and don't let it boil dry

-Strain through a fine mesh tea strainer or nut milk bag, discard mushroom material

-Add a few ice cubes to cool down

-Say a prayer, turn around 3 times clockwise while tapping your head and rubbing your belly, then down it (or just sit down and sip it while listening to some chill tunes)

Occasionally on high doses (7.5g+), I'll get some stomach pains. This is probably due to the fine powder I grind my mushrooms into, so a decent amount can get through the mesh. A bit of cannabis clears that right up. A 75 micron nut milk bag should be fine enough to catch most of it. Haven't tried it with finer mesh because this method works well for me.

I use a tea infuser https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LQ7NQTW. Very light, it goes inside my pot and is large enough itself to hold my stove.

Lovely! Could you share the brand of your strainer? It looks really nice!

Edit: I think it's this one?
