Imperial Green. Expensive as hell but worth it.

Yeah, roomie has some of that. I tried it once. Tastes like green tea. Which is good, don't get me wrong!
We have a lot of tea drinkers! Excellent!

If you brew it for just the right time, it has a flavor that doesn't require any sweetening agent yet has a delicate sweet hint to it.

Gyokuro is the best kind. Teavana's is pretty good.
Can you get Teavana (my roomie's preferred brand) outside of a Teavana store?
Iced Lipton, sugar and bacterial mat for me \m/O.O\m/

It's been a year since I've been in a dispensary, but I think Imperial green tea might be more expensive than weed here in Colorado.
Of course, it's much better than weed, so that's fair.
Can you get Imperial Green Tea for a Keurig I wonder?
You can get a refillable basket for a Keurig, but it probably won't get the same results as brewing the tea at the exact right temperature for the proper amount of time. But it's quick and easy.
I have a bad habit of miss timing things, the Keurig is a machine it brews the same every time. And a fancy tea pot seems like too much in my growing pile of countertop appliances.
Writing it was fun but now I am feeling rather ambivalent about it...
I like it.
I was looking through documents I edited in the past couple of years and found that several have been published, with my own little name as editor! And one even got a "good editing job" from Endzeitgeist. So weird seeing my name on stuff in a store.
EDIT: Nope, very good, not just good. Squeee!
Huzzah!

BIG old Raccoon stopped by for dinner, sitting on the porch nomming on peanuts and peanut shells.
He had a very clear understanding of how a glass door worked. Paid absolutely no attention to anything the humans were doing on the other side of it, 2 inches from his head. had to let the cat in through the window, because he wasn't going near that thing.

I can vouch for those. The wife uses them for her coffee. She mixes two different kinds of coffee into them and then brews it in the Keurig. I am sure that it also works for tea leaves.

Yeah I've used that for tea. Loose rooibos or honeybush mostly.

Me too, but only certain things. I like writing my PbPs. I can't stay focused on a story. Three/four pages in I lose focus.
is the tea discussion still going?
Twinnings English Breakfast for, well, Breakfast at work, followed by an after-breakfast-cup-of-coffee
at home not much tea, sometimes a loss leaf Twinnings Earl Grey or a pure Roibusch, sometimes a dogrose infusion
and wen ill, camomile infusion
I grew up drinking the inexpensive store brand of orange pekoe/black tea brewed and chilled. When dad got promoted to manager/foreman, we upgraded to drinking chilled Luzianne*, which is still my preference. I only drink hot tea when I have a sore throat or feeling sick, and even then I think I only use it as a delivery mechanism for honey and whisky. I'm not a fan of Lipton, but it's better than Nestea or Tetley.
* Using my grandma's hand-me-down 1 1/2-qt pyrex measuring cup filled with water and microwaved until just under boiling, then steeped for about an hour. Never owned a kettle. Dad is the true heathen: he brews his tea in the spare drip coffee maker. But then he also drinks Busch beer {shudder}, so I think his taste buds are nearly shot.

LOL!
Oh, wait,... That's me too,... :/
(The taste buds shot, NOT the Busch beer! Ew!) ;P
Dang, NOW this conversation is re-igniting my love of Tea!
To the store! (I'm out of my requisite morning Earl Grey or English Breakfast Teas anyway)
I always just boiled mine in a sauce pan...
Uff da. OK, I'll admit to being a purist in some ways. You bring a kettle to the boil, then pour some boiling water into the tea pot to heat it up, returning the kettle to the flame while you swish the water around. Pour out the cooled water, put the tea in, then fill the pot with boiling water. Put the lid on, put a tea cozy on, wait a couple of minutes, then pour off an ounce or so of the tea.
Now you're ready to drink it.
What are these "Taste Buds" that you keep talking about?
Black tea with sugar. I happen to drink Lipton occasionally, though I don't buy it myself. Currently I am buying Teekanne Nero bagged black tea, though I make about 1 liter of it out of two bags steeped for 50-100 submersions. Yes, I am standing over the pot and immerse the tea bags for a moment, pull them out, and then immerse again, repeat fifty to hundred times, depending on my current reserve of patience and focus.
Freehold DM. Netflix has a new show on it called Kuromukuro that might just be right up your alley.
