Today I am drinking Orange Black Pekoe Ceylon tea from Tiesta. It's the same tea as they put in Lipton bags. See the difference for yourself, leaves (as they should be) in picture 1 or powdered (floor sweepings) in picture 2. Premade bags also do not allow the leaves to unfurl and expand as the properly should (not an issue with the powder from Lipton bags), different from tea sachets, but I am concerned with the microplastics that are released with the sachets (microplastics = bad). I am using a Bodum French Press today as I am making a quart, 2.5 grams of tea leaves per cup, so I pictured 10 grams. Have a great day, enjoy your tea however you like it! My opinion is just that and not necessarily your opinion or correct. I am really a newbie in the world of tea and not an expert at all, I have a lot to learn before I can open my tea house!

Tea of the Day is Tiesta's "Lean Green Machine", a light citrus green tea with lemongrass, orange peel and lemon peel. Lighter on the caffeine side, it is still a wonderful afternoon sip. I read in my Tea Enthusiasts book that the proper amount of tea per cup is 2-3 grams of loose leaf per 6 oz of filtered water, which is different in tsp. depending on the variety and how it is processed. You can't just go by the American packaging instructions of 1 tsp. per cup, resulting in 150-200 cups per pound of tea. Interesting, I know I make mine on the strong side, but always use a teaspoon to measure. Now I am going to have to invest in a better kitchen scale that is meant to weigh grams, which mine will do, just not very accurately (1 gram increments) with this small of an amount.

Tea of the Day: I rarely drink bagged teas anymore, finding them to be more expensive and lesser quality (broad generalization here) than most loose leaf varieties. Today I have a bagged tea called Fast Lane by Celestial Seasonings, the variety that first introduced me into the World of Tea. (I don't count Lipton because, growing up, that brand was, well, the reason why I did not like and many Americans currently don't like tea.) Fast Lane is highly caffeinated which I need today being a sleepyhead. It sort of reminds me of zucchini bread or something similar in taste, I think it must be the cinnamon and nutmeg. I believe this variety can only be purchased online, I bought a couple of cases on the Celestial Seasonings website a few years ago.

An evening entry, caffeine free Fireberry by Tiesta Tea. I pictured the package so you can read the ingredients. It is interesting!

Today's tea on my Tea a Day journey is Jade Leaf Ceremonial Grade Matcha. I don't prepare this using a Tea Ceremony, no offense to those who do, my mug is my favorite baseball team and I use an electric frother. I hope everyone has a superior day!
