I find I usually prefer green tea since it has lower caffeine and a softer taste. Thoughts?

Neither: oolong

Best of both worlds, slightly oxidized so blackish but still has fresh herbal and floral notes like green. You can even mix some oolongs with milk and get a nice creamy but still flavorful drink (like black) that doesn't taste watered down (like green)

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah, Milky Oolong (it's just the name of the oolong, so lactose intolerant comrades be not afraid) is the best. Just fucking delicious.

[–] TheModerateTankie@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Charcoal baked oolong and is my favorite.

Bad green tea > bad black tea

Good black tea > good green tea

[–] milistanaccount09@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Hmm so maybe I need to try to find some good black tea then. I can kinda see your point, I used to have some really nice loose leaf black tea mixes. I wonder if the bulk loose leaf black tea at the Not White Ppl (not specifying nationality bc don't wanna dox myself) is any good: I think the green tea has been fine

A really good Earl grey is divine

geordi-no Green tea or black tea?

geordi-yes Yerba Mate.

[–] star_wraith@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Had a Spanish teacher from Argentina that brought around maté and bombilla all the time, that shit’s great.

[–] AlpineSteakHouse@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oolong and your false dichotomy is proof that you're not a tea snob and thus not a real human being.

[–] milistanaccount09@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

NOOOOO MY CREDIBILITY AS A TEA SNOB IT'S THE LAST THING I HAVE LEFT IM SO SORRY I WILL NEVER FORGET TO INCLUDE OOLONG AGAIN powercry-1

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

I mostly drink iced tea which I’m pretty sure is black tea.

[–] pooh@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Pu'er is kinda what I've been into lately but Chinese white tea is also pretty damn good. Also genmaicha (brown rice green tea) has always been a favorite.

[–] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

whatever the fuck yorkshire tea is is good tea

[–] JuryNullification@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Black tea in the morning, green tea after noon

I used to drink a lot of green tea but now my favorite is Oolong. My grocery store caries Ito En and it's the brand I go to.

[–] milistanaccount09@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Yeah I've had some Ito En before, but it was herbal teas I frankly hated (but that's not a bad thing!). I would love to get back into it so I'll definetly take a look at it!

I prefer Moroccan mint tea, but i always end up getting turkish black tea when i'm in town.

[–] milistanaccount09@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah I'm a true believer in Moroccan mint. I'll have to try out Turkish black tea though!

I prefer black tea if I'm eating something at the same time, but otherwise it's pretty much 50/50

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

I prefer the effects of green tea. I'm sensitive to caffeine, but do great with the L-theanine from green tea. I'll usually do Oolong for flavor nowadays though.

One of life's greatest pleasures is having pu'er made traditionally. Gongfu cha style.

The best green tea is better than the best black tea, but the worst black tea is better than the worst green tea. Given I work in coffee, I'll take a dang solid matcha in-house than I'll take our also solid earl grey.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Green tea, although my absolute favorite kind is Oolong.

Black tea I usually cannot have without oat milk

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Green. Don't like th taste of black tea

[–] The_Grinch@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I actually like pg tipps the most. I have no taste, I know.

[–] CrimsonSage@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Both are nice

[–] Ithorian@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Green tea is at the top of the list, then herbals then black. However lapsang souchong, a smoked black tea, it's my all time favorite.

[–] seeking_perhaps@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

if green tea, jasmine. if black, early grey or chai. also quite partial to matcha.

If you like tea you're an honorary member of the maw British aristocracy and an imperial subject of the corpse king, therefore have your opinion on the question null and voided for being royalist scum

[–] milistanaccount09@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

sicko-wistful non white ppl who have been drinking tea for longer than the british state has existed be like

I love white tea. I also love pu'er. Tea is just really good.

I love all tea, growing up in ukkk left me with a general inclination to black tea.

I’ve been drinking a lovely holiday blend lately, and my wife got me a tea advent calendar

I also really got into fermented fireweed tea this year…lovely caffeine free alternative

[–] oillut@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I like that Green Tea has a seaweed flavor, hard to beat Sencha
