That tea looks really awesome. I have never had loose leaf tea like that before. The way you describe it makes it sound like something I would really like though. I might have to look into it. I really like that quote as well. I haven't seen it before now, but I appreciate you sharing it here!

Thank you, Bozz! I'd encourage anyone who is on the fence about tea to try the loose leaf varieties. Almost always the tea found in tea bags is subpar quality "tea dust" that is swept off the production facility floor. The loose leaf teas, brewed properly in tea baskets that allow the leaves to expand during brewing, makes a superior cup every time. A good English Breakfast or Earl Grey is amazing this way.
I used to have a little metal thing I could put over my mug that had like a strainer on it. I think I got rid of it a long time ago though. I don't drink a lot of tea these days due to the caffeine.
Oh yeah, those work too. I think they use those when they brew the tea leaves directly in the pot. The strainer is put over the mug to catch the leaves. The black teas can have about 1/3rd the caffeine as coffee, more if they're brewed strong. I was just diagnosed with a heart murmur so I have to be aware of that now too.
I have some caffeine free green tea at home that I enjoy from time to time. I'm guessing it's more of a naturally occurring thing and they need to do some science magic to make it not caffeinated, so the choices are quite low.
You may want to try white tea. It's super low in caffeine and is made from the same plant as the green and black teas. Some of these white teas are really phenomenal.
I might have to look into that! Does it still have the same health benefits like antioxidents and stuff?
Yeah, white tea actually has more than the other varieties because it’s not processed as much.
