Could be a theory on how I became confused!

Piplup got hit by a tea bag while swimming in the ocean =o
Did it make some nice tea at least?

Something something Boston Tea Party something something too tired to come up with a joke at this time... zzzzzzzz

Did you really use like 200 000 liters of water to fill your house and put the tea inside?

Well... how else are you supposed to make tea? Don't tell me you don't make it 200000L at a time???

I like seeing positive messages, even if I don't believe in them ^^"

Yes. Finally something that's willing to tell me how it actually sees me.

Now the important question: tea bag or tea egg?

The tea I have at home came loose so it's paid off buying a tea egg for that purpose.

 

[ReKoil]

338.

I'm unfamiliar with tea eggs.

That makes two of us then. Or as I thought about posting earlier 'The *beep*'s a tea egg?'

I didn't answer too as I didn't know what it was lol

A tea egg is a sort of mini-colander thing you pop your tea leaves in and leave it in the water. It's a metallic, self-filled tea bag and they're awesome! Tea eggs all the way!

One of these things I guess:

Funny how google on my mobile didn't find that and only showed me actual eggs and then google on my laptop once I'm home does find it...

Anyway, I've only ever used Tea bags.

Theres much more choice in tea if you get it loose. For my next post I'll try to include a picture of my tea shelves!

Yeah kinda guessed it but I wasn't sure. Didn't even seem for tea tbh. Never used btw!

I just buy my tea bags from the Supermarket.
I'd probably have to find a specialty store to even be able to buy it loose.

Supermarkets and discounters usually only sell tea that's prepackaged. There are some places that additionally sell the loose stuff. Like, there are some drug stores in my vicinity.

The other option is also to go foraging and just cut leaves and flowers that fit and put them in. Never done that, myself, though.

I actually have picked flowers and herbs for my own tea, since I have a garden. Chamomile is usually what I would grab for tea. I have made it all different ways though. Simplest is just tea bags in my pantry that came from a store. I do have a tea ball in my house though, usually we call it that instead of tea egg. It's more work to clean the leaves out, but I have made it this way. A schoolmate of mine would order delicious tea leaves blended with chunks of dried fruit from this company, and together she and I would make tea the old fashioned way. I can still taste the berries. Those were teas worth the extra time.

One tea I don't drink though is the flowering kind that turns into a big bloom as it sits in the pot. It gives me invasion of the body snatcher vibes, though many think it is pretty and magical.
