Last updated May 13, 2022 By Daniel 1 Comment

Can You Add Milk To Green Tea

Adding milk to coffee is common. As is adding milk to black tea. But can you add milk to green tea in the same way? Of course, you can add milk to green tea. You can add milk to anything you want. The real question is if it is a good idea. And that is where things differ a lot from black tea or coffee. Keep reading to learn why it is not a good idea to add … [Read more...] about Can You Add Milk To Green Tea? (Why You Shouldn’t)

What Is The Difference Between Irish And English Breakfast Tea?

Last updated April 18, 2022 By Daniel Leave a Comment

What Is The Difference Between Irish And English Breakfast Tea?

Is there even a difference? At first glance, Irish vs English Breakfast tea seems to be mostly the same. But there are a few key differences. The most important one concerns the composition of each blend, which affects the strength of the tea. One of these two teas is considerably stronger. That makes the two distinct enough that one or the other will definitely … [Read more...] about What Is The Difference Between Irish And English Breakfast Tea?

Oolong Tea Vs Black Tea (Which Is Right For You?)

Last updated April 17, 2022 By Daniel Leave a Comment

Oolong Tea Vs Black Tea

If you're looking for me to tell you which of these teas is better, you will be disappointed. I love them both and simply can't choose. Of course, that assumes good quality teas. The black tea we tend to drink in the west is usually pretty unexciting in terms of flavor. That's probably why it has become normal to add milk and sugar to it. Good black teas are much … [Read more...] about Oolong Tea Vs Black Tea (Which Is Right For You?)

Is Green Tea An Herbal Tea? (The Difference Gets A Bit Confusing)

Last updated April 16, 2022 By Daniel Leave a Comment

Is Green Tea An Herbal Tea

How much do you know already? Do you know that tea is an herb? So technically, tea from the tea plant (like green tea) should be an herbal tea? But that it is not, in fact, considered an herbal tea? Confused yet? Honestly, it doesn't really make all that much sense. There are too many overlapping definitions. But I do believe I can clear things up a little … [Read more...] about Is Green Tea An Herbal Tea? (The Difference Gets A Bit Confusing)

Does Tea Have To Be Refrigerated? (And How It Affects Flavor)

Last updated April 15, 2022 By Daniel Leave a Comment

Does Tea Have To Be Refrigerated

Tea goes bad, just like everything else. But not right away, of course. Personally, I always drink my tea right after I brew it, because I enjoy it hot. So this is never an issue for me. But perhaps you like to brew a large amount at once and drink it over time. Or you're making tea in advance for a party or picnic the next day. Whatever the reason, sometimes you … [Read more...] about Does Tea Have To Be Refrigerated? (And How It Affects Flavor)

Can You Microwave Water For Tea? (Don’t Do It)

Last updated April 14, 2022 By Daniel Leave a Comment

Can You Microwave Water For Tea

All you need to make a cup of tea is tea leaves and hot water. Some people believe you need boiling water, but that is only true for some teas. But no matter the type of tea and the temperature of water you need, you will need to heat the water to the correct temperature somehow. And the microwave presents itself as an obvious solution, if you don't have an electric or … [Read more...] about Can You Microwave Water For Tea? (Don’t Do It)

Can You Eat Tea Leaves? (Good Idea Or Trip To Hospital?)

Last updated April 13, 2022 By Daniel Leave a Comment

Can You Eat Tea Leaves

Did you accidentally swallow some tea leaves while drinking a cup made with loose leaf tea? Or are you thinking of consuming tea leaves on their own or in a recipe? Whatever your reason for asking this question, the answer is the same. There is no harm in eating tea leaves. That brings up another question. Is there any benefit to eating tea leaves? There is. You … [Read more...] about Can You Eat Tea Leaves? (Good Idea Or Trip To Hospital?)

Why Is My Green Tea Brown? (And Is It A Problem?)

Last updated April 16, 2022 By Daniel 1 Comment

Why Is My Green Tea Brown

Green tea is called green tea for a reason. It's supposed to be green. Isn't it? Well, not always. Some types of green tea brew to a brownish color. The majority are actually more yellowish than green. But green tea that is brown can also indicate that something is amiss. Keep reading to learn why your tea might be brown and whether you have a case where it's … [Read more...] about Why Is My Green Tea Brown? (And Is It A Problem?)

Oolong Vs Pu-Erh Tea (Which Should You Be Drinking?)

Last updated April 28, 2022 By Daniel Leave a Comment

Oolong Vs Pu-Erh

Both pu'er and oolong are not common in the west. That is a shame. They are hugely popular in China. And for good reason. They both bring something completely different to the table than black, green or white tea. And they have the same health benefits, along with a few unique ones. In short: you owe it to yourself to try them. But which one to try? My … [Read more...] about Oolong Vs Pu-Erh Tea (Which Should You Be Drinking?)

Oolong Vs Green Tea (Which Should You Be Drinking?)

Last updated October 5, 2021 By Daniel Leave a Comment

Oolong Vs Green Tea

Green tea is more popular and better known. It seems every day there is a new article about green tea in the news. Oolong tea does not get nearly the same press. But did you know that oolong tea is far more prized in China, the home of both types of tea? Does that mean that oolong tea is better than green tea? Not at all. But it does mean that oolong tea … [Read more...] about Oolong Vs Green Tea (Which Should You Be Drinking?)
