I find I usually prefer green tea since it has lower caffeine and a softer taste. Thoughts?
Neither: oolong
Best of both worlds, slightly oxidized so blackish but still has fresh herbal and floral notes like green. You can even mix some oolongs with milk and get a nice creamy but still flavorful drink (like black) that doesn't taste watered down (like green)
Hell yeah, Milky Oolong (it's just the name of the oolong, so lactose intolerant comrades be not afraid) is the best. Just fucking delicious.
Do you know of a good loose Oolong? Haven’t had much luck upgrading from BigEllow
It's actually been a while for me, switched to coffee lately. But I remember liking the Adagio milk oolong. It's on the lighter side though, but has a creamy taste so I enjoyed it plain
Looking at prices now though, yikes looks more expensive than I remember

Hmm so maybe I need to try to find some good black tea then. I can kinda see your point, I used to have some really nice loose leaf black tea mixes. I wonder if the bulk loose leaf black tea at the Not White Ppl (not specifying nationality bc don't wanna dox myself) is any good: I think the green tea has been fine
Had a Spanish teacher from Argentina that brought around maté and bombilla all the time, that shit’s great.
Did they ever say what a raktajino is? That's the DS9 drink of choice
Oolong and your false dichotomy is proof that you're not a tea snob and thus not a real human being.
NOOOOO MY CREDIBILITY AS A TEA SNOB IT'S THE LAST THING I HAVE LEFT IM SO SORRY I WILL NEVER FORGET TO INCLUDE OOLONG AGAIN
Pu'er is kinda what I've been into lately but Chinese white tea is also pretty damn good. Also genmaicha (brown rice green tea) has always been a favorite.
I used to drink a lot of green tea but now my favorite is Oolong. My grocery store caries Ito En and it's the brand I go to.
Yeah I've had some Ito En before, but it was herbal teas I frankly hated (but that's not a bad thing!). I would love to get back into it so I'll definetly take a look at it!
I prefer Moroccan mint tea, but i always end up getting turkish black tea when i'm in town.
Oh yeah I'm a true believer in Moroccan mint. I'll have to try out Turkish black tea though!
Yes, and no. There are different subspecies/cultivars that have been breed by humans. Some are specifically breed for green, others for black tea.
Green tea or black tea?
Yerba Mate.
