Oh geeze, this subject.

So, I am an avid tea drinker. I have worked in several teashops in my life and I love gongfu cha (chinese tea 'ceremony'). I have well spent a lot on supplies and hoards of tea whether my favorite selections of elegant wuyi wulong, toasty macha genmaicha, chrisp white needle, or smoky lapsong souchong.

Shamelessly, I have placed time in researching the perfect yixing pot, wulong tea, and even specialties (No, that is not puerh. Yes, that is a cake. Yes, that is wuyi wulong. Yes, it is delicious. Yes, it is expensive.)

Tea for me is a special culture that not only rich in flavor, but in history. I devote time and excellence in presenting, brewing, and ascertaining prime leaves.

THAT SAID!

Even though I love tea, its history and culture, and its taste (some more than others). I do enjoy coffee more for consumption. I am not picky about coffee and anything from grab-and-go Dunkin' Donuts' ice coffee to shoddy french pressed made for a bit of extra taste: well, I am a filthy casual for coffee.

Tea or Coffee? For me, that answer is complicated (as is my response).

For excellence? Tea.

For everyday consumption? Coffee.

What you are referring to is 'Oolong' (or wulong). It is not necessarily a mix as wulong has a different fermentation process and can be very different in its taste: Some can taste more green, some more black, some very distinctly wulong.

It is by no means at all a mix as some white teas that are aged can very much taste black. Taste does not always indicate type.

I usually dunk 2-3 teaspoons of sugar until I get used to the awful plain taste though.

Turkish tea! An black tea (called riza). It is usually taken without milk. The lumps are sugar and usually made of beet (as opposed to cane sugar which many places will import to use).

If you like strong tea like that I suggest getting some lapsong or dark wulongs.

I have never drunk any other tea than the tea we have here which grows in black sea region. I don't have any idea where to get other tea neither. Did you ever drink Turkish tea?

Turkish tea is delicious, much like their coffee it is rich and bitter. Literature says to steep the leaves above the usual 212F, but I do not believe that is for good steeping for a bit.

Yunnan Sourcing is the best website for mid quality teas: Here is their Lapsang Souchong. They actually have zheng shan leaves so it is pretty damn good.

Coffee

With milk

Not for it's taste but to stay awake in school
