Tea Places Can't Make Fucking Tea (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I believe every single time somebody offers to buy tea for me or gets me to go out for tea with them, I get the worst frickin tea I've ever had in my life.

Typically, when I go out to these places, I get a jasmine or oolong tea, which is typically their specialty, and they absolutely bastardize it. Overbrewed garbage, either steeped too long or temps too high, but it just releases sour acidity in the tea. They have the fucking audacity to ask me if I didn't like it because it's "heavy-roasted". It's not because the leaves are roasted, it's because you fucking overbrewed the tea.

Anyway, ofc the general populace gives these places good reviews for their sugary milk teas and thinks it's the best shit ever.

I am also a big tea fan and have just too much of it. I really never get tea when out, I would never trust someone to do it for me. The exception is going to an old school teashop, like a Chinese place, where they really put time and effort into it. Otherwise, I will only have tea out if it's required because of travel or some such.
