Preparing tea. How too?

Many people will go out and buy fancy ceramic kettles, strainers, and lidded Dragon cups & so on.  But do you really need all those????? In fact by doing so, you're not reaping the benefits and full potential from the tea you are drinking..... All you really need is a long spoon and a tall glass, and Hot water.  Stir every 2-3 minutes Or so.  Let it sit for 6-15 minute.  And spoon out the floating leafs on top, and now you have a better suitable stronger tea for consumption.  Enjoy!



(Recommended tips; Place a coffee filter over the cup, When microwaving.)

Cleanse your tasting palette.

Many Indo, or Hindu groceries will carry a different brand of tea.  The most popular : IMPRA.  It is strong in taste and can wash your palette of any foul tasting meal. 5/5

Blue Or Green? Leafs...


If you cannot find the Red box of tea, I recommend the cylinder containers of either Blue or Green. They are both Jasmine Tea.  SPROUTING JASMINE TEA.  5/5

I do not recommend however,  The Orangery yellow Ones that comes in tin boxes.

Trà mạn sen. Best kept secret

I discover this fantastic Brand, that can only be found in the inner city community shops.  But no where else in the outer suburbs.  This brand is known by Trà mạn sen, it has the most aromatic scent to it.  From what can be read from the box the distributor is located in New York.  This tea gets a 4/5
