It’s nice to set some time away to sip away at some delicious tea (and coffee too). Tea is big where my family is from so I just happened to pick up on it. Definitely recommend experimenting and brewing methods and types of tea as we all like different taste profiles. I typically stay away from most store bought tea bags as the flavor is distorted from the compressed bag and the use of lower quality parts of the tea leaves for mass production. I like the natural flavors so I tend to stick with the natural flavors and avoid the blends but I do like a good cup of Earl grey here and there 😁
