What's your beverage of choice, comrades? I really love espresso or green and white teas, usually an espresso in the morning and tea throughout the day. What do y'all like?

My most common beverage is and has always been just water. I drink water all the time. I think I stim with my water bottle.
But on the beverages that you actually need to make, it's tea (but I do love a good coffee).
Used to drink way too much coffee, but nowadays I just have a really good cup sometimes, as a treat.
When I decided to stop my coffee drinking (thanks covid gi issues) I went all in with the tea stuff and got myself a nice teapot and started to buy better tea. I really like teas from Yunnan or Vietnam. The Yunnan golden monkey tea I got last year was one of the best teas I've ever had. But I do enjoy a good assam as well and my daily tea is Russian Earl Grey or some other strong Earl Grey with lots of lemon flavour. Or a tea called Yunnan Golden Needle.
I love the teas that have lots of the golden tips in them, also loving loose leaf teas more and more. Also tried a tea called dragon pearl a while ago, it was amazing.
I also discovered that I don't like puerh at all. Although I like other fermented stuff, but this funk is just too funky for me.
Nice! It's expensive, but sometimes I treat myself to Silver Needle tea. Very clean tasting, normally I like a bit of funk with my coffee but for tea the cleanliness is part of the appeal.
Yeah they can be pricy. I love that I have a local tea shop where you can buy a tasting bag of a tea to try it out first. It's always still enough to make a whole pot or several cups, but it isn't terribly pricy. This is how I was able to try the handrolled dragon pearl.
I have gone very bourge with this tea stuff I'll admit. It's become my main caffeine treat so I splurge on it.
Oh, sounds nice! I might have to see if there's something like that around me. I splurge on coffee equipment (but not to the extreme levels some people do) so I totally understand!
