Did you know? By replacing your coffee with green tea, you can lose up to 92% of what little joy you still have left in your life.

@Strandjunker eh, what? Is green tea that bad?

@ejner1 @Strandjunker some people do not know how to make proper tea thus they will say it's disgusting
Show threadMagnus AhltorpJan 3
@louisrcouture @ejner1 @Strandjunker Some people have gotten the weird idea that green tea is ”healthy”, so they’re drinking it even though they don’t like it, driving up the prices for us who do.
Show threadLouis CoutureJan 3
@ahltorp @ejner1 @Strandjunker well green tea is health y. So is black tea. I am more of a black tea person but I do enjoy the occasional green, and even matcha
Show threadMagnus AhltorpJan 3

@louisrcouture It’s healthy when you live in Tibet and don’t have any other access to the nutrients that tea contains, but that’s hardly relevant for the rest of us. It’s tasty, though.

(To be clear: I mean healthy compared to pure water, not compared to sugared water)

@louisrcouture @ahltorp @Strandjunker I am prone to migraine attacks, which is why I switched to black tea years ago. But I never heard anyone saying green tea is unhealthy in general.
Show threadMikko TuumanenJan 3
@ejner1 @louisrcouture @ahltorp @Strandjunker Just don't take any green tea concentrates or green tea pills. Those might be bad for liver. Drink tea as tea.
Show threadMagnus AhltorpJan 3
@ejner1 @louisrcouture Tea in general is not unhealthy (except for the caffeine, which can be), but it also doesn’t make you healthier than drinking plain water (excluding hygge/mys effects).
Show threaddraeathJan 3

@louisrcouture @ejner1 @Strandjunker to be fair, most green tea you buy at the supermarket has you pouring boiling water on and steeping for 5+ minutes.

That's way too hot and long! No wonder they hate it.

(For those who don't know, as far as I have learned, the water should be a few degrees below boiling (like 90C) and you steep it for like half a minute to a minute)

@draeath @ejner1 @Strandjunker i boil my green tea at 75⁰C for 5 min and for black tea at 100⁰C for 5 min
Show threadScott Miller 🇺🇦 🇺🇸Jan 11
@louisrcouture @draeath @ejner1 @Strandjunker I do my green tea at about 175 F (80 C) for about 3-4 minutes, but yeah, the one thing we are unanimous about is green tea takes a lower temperature and a shorter steep time than black tea.

@Strandjunker i had to do that due to health issues with coffee for about two years. Now I can drink coffee again, not much though and not strong one.

I like both, I prefer Black tea for breakfast and coffee in the afternoon. Coffee goes better with cookies and pastries. Green tea in between or evening.
