Mean while, me: chasing the perfect origin flavor from beans only from specific farms around the world, roasting only to city or city+, takeing notes with each grind mil size and brew time and brew method, constantly chasing such small and slight subtle changes, completely convinced that I'm ever getting closer to the perfect cup.

It's about 70$ per 2 lbs of un roasted beans. And I don't want to figure out how invested into equipment.

More recent me: yerba mate.... welp time to invest in a nice kalabash and buy every blend under the sun ! And start the chase for the perfect brew !!

Pardon me? Only uncultured american teenagers who donΒ΄t know anything about good taste believe such utter nonsense! What "tea" are you drinking anyway? Must be the dust they collect after sweeping the floor of the packing plant and then put in teabags to sell it to people who know nothing about tea. Do yourself a favour, go and buy some nice loose leaf Darjeeling, FTGFOP or even better SFTGFOP, prepare it properly and apprechiate something truly good, maybe itΒ΄s not too late and your taste can still be saved ...

I was so obsessed with Dutch Bros Paris tea that I went and ordered a bag so I’d stop spending $5/day going there. It’s still the best tea that I’ve ever drank, IMO. Add some agave and it’s my own little Dutch bros at home.

Harney & Sons is the brand they use.

I should try and convince my GF to do that, she is addicted to dutch bros!

Their tea is cheap as well. I got 3 bags/150 satchets for like $50.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are you telling us you were spending $5 every day on a cup of tea, and then you bought 150 teabags for $50?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not everyday, but most days. I had always intended to buy the tea myself, but kept forgetting to look at the tag, finally my husband took a picture of it. In my defense I was pregnant att and pregnancy brain is a real thing.

Coffee is very cheap if you actually just make it. Maybe not cheaper than 4Β’ tea bags sure, but cheap.

Edit: if anyone is curious about making coffee simply at home, buy a French press (fancy doesn't matter, get a $15 one on Amazon) and some coffee grounds (taste is just an experiment of what brand you like. Eventually you'll want to grind your own beans but don't worry about it for now. If you can, get medium grind grounds, as that's supposed to be good for French presses) follow a guide online for making it. You'll need a way to measure hot water like a kettle, but that's the same for tea so hey.

Funny. I stopped drink energy drinks few years ago. I started going night shifts, and I used energy drinks and coffee. Then, I once said to myself I don't like the taste of energy drinks. I stopped drink energy drinks just in one day. Never have then since. Five years and still counting. On the other side, I started slightly drink more coffee.

I remember when you could get a kilo of pure caffeine powder on Amazon which worked out to like $0.0001 per 50mg dose, and then one idiot had to go ruin it by overdosing.

Eh. I went espresso -> (homemade) coffee -> coffee & tea, over the years

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Homemade espresso >>>

(Of course, if it's financially viable for you. In any case, try not to become an addict.)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Coffee wins every time, even if I have to pay $9+ for a goddamn bag 😭

Embrace tradition, 100 tea bags for $4! Your ancestors fought for access to tea!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro, my ancestors dumped tea in protest πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because the tea was expensive! They fought for cheap tea!

Feel free to remake it!

Honestly I feel like the top one could have been old timey distracted boyfriend meme because 1800s was when US swapped to coffee hard.

Then could have made middle one look more millennial/z.

Then bottom one have it zoomed out to see Thor and could make him look raggedy and like a broke teen realizing that buying 2 monsters a day does not go over well.
