Audiophile Tea

[The Computer Audiophile]

Of course there is no such thing as audiophile tea, but I know many of us in this community are tea drinkers. Let's use this thread to share favorites.

 

I look forward to seeing everyone's recommendations. I can always use new teas to try :~)

 

I'll start.

 

The black tea I drink everyday because I love the flavor and I like what the company is all about.

Of course, it's all welcome. No blind taste testing required :~)

One of the habits I have picked up traveling to London a couple times of year, is high tea, usually at Fortnam and Mason, every now and then The Ritz and others. Yes, the Ritz is Ritzy. I love to brew my own tea as Chris knows with a Brown Betty and come nice English silver strainers and such. My favorite tea which I brew a two cuppa in the morning is F&M Smokey Earl Grey. I usually buy 8 250g bags at a time.

 

 Haven’t been back since Feb. 2020. Can’t wait to get back some day,

When I have a minute I will tell about a friend of mine who actually not only did that but also was good at that 

 

Yeah, we audiophiles aren't the only weirdos on this planet..

A little civilization every now and then is a good thing. Can’t be an audio barbarian all the time.

I found MQA tea on Amazon, it was listed under "Rat Poison"    

[Confused]

This is your 18" subwoofer of tea ....

Funny NOMEDES but let’s keep MQA out of our Audiophile tea.

Tea done correctly (probably Earl Grey for her Majesty)

 

 

But do not spoil with inappropriate accompaniments

Bamboo Stick Pu-erh, 1980s – In Pursuit of Tea

 

I did buy this for my wife for Christmas one year. That is how the Chinese used to ship expensive tea, in Bamboo.

 

She still has not used it....

Of late, I've gotten addicted to loose leaf Persian Shamshiri tea, steeped in a glass pot. Yum.
