Collecting my husband from a routine hospital thing.

Collecting my husband from a routine hospital thing. Very nice of them to have this tea machine for me to play with. I’m alarmed that many of the “pods” mention coffee. But how bad could it be? I’m not such an incurable tea snob that I can’t have a little adventure!

It smells like lemon. I think it’s been sweetened?? And when I looked in the “pod” after using it… it’s full of what looks like coffee grounds! not a leaf in sight

Tea drinker tip: You can put the tea bag into the cup before putting the cup into the microwave.@wakame What in the name of Lu Yu…

@futurebird I can’t tell if this thread is sarcasm, so appologies if I’m reply-gal-ing here.
These pods are all just freeze dried products. Nothing is actually brewed, it’s just rehydrating previously brewed beverages (except for the hot chocolates, which is just cocoa powder and sugar). So yeah, no leaves.

There is no keurig pod labeled “hateraid”
(I’ve never tried this thing before but I am playing it up a bit)

@futurebird Oh yeah I know this one ! It's almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

@futurebird @wakame
And yet, Lu Yu is said to have boiled tea with onion and orange peel as medicine.
Consider also this quote from the first paragraph of Okakura's Book of Tea:
"Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence... It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect..."
(nevermind. I should not justify the existence of keurig and pod machines, except on their convenience and accessibility. ;p) -

Don't ask for the best way to make tea. Invent increasingly worse ones.
Wear a necklace of tea bags while showering. The waste water is "tea". Yes, including the soap.
Just chew the leaves. But teabags on a sandwich. Put some tea in your coffee.
Morning dew on grass? That's tea.
Spaghetti water is also tea because wheat is a plant.
A cigarette bud floating in your beer? Tea.
