new to tea

by Calebh » Feb 25th, '09, 12:31

Hey everyone! My name's Caleb and yesterday I ordered the black tea starter kit. I have never really drank much tea before this, but I'm trying to stop drinking so much Diet Coke and this seemed like a good alternative.

Anything I should know before I get my starter kit?

- Caleb :)

To start, I really liked my green tea better than black.

Well basically - it's best not to microwave your ingenuiTea.
And - start with 3min rather than the 5mins that Adagio suggests.

Welcome! :)

Glad to hear that you're going to be drinking less diet coke- but hopefully you'll be drinking tea real soon because that's what you want to be enjoying. Have fun playing!
