[Anonymous No.]

[Arcueid Brunestud !ARCIkc4cG6 No.]

I'm amused by the way the Japanese are doing their damndest to pretend she doesn't exist.

The only thing better than this is that picture of a white Otaku wearing a coolie hat.

On a train full of Japs.

SO AWKWARD.

At least she isn't that guy with the rice farmer hat.

dude, I just said that.

[Anonymous No.]

No, Australians aren't that well behaved. They're a major part of the reason why Japan remains xenophobic.

Have two examples.

Yeah...only she is. Well, not really, she laughed like a bitch when Oprah asked her if she there's a certain way to pour tea. WTF, right? That's a valid question. I mean there is a whole fucking ceremony just for that.

My parents recently went to a Japanese garden with some of their friends, they got a shortened version of the tea ceremony. For some reason Japs shorten their 4 hour long tea ceremony in Europe.

I don't even drink tea. It doesn't have enough caffeine in it.

Tea is glorious

Tea is seriously half the reason I even like Japan.

If everyone in the world spent quality time together drinking tea it would be more peaceful ;_;

Japanese drink piss weak green tea though.

Rest of the world drinks proper, robust black tea (milk and sugar optional).

[Anonymous No.]

>>5276462

dont drink green tea then, it has very little caffeine. a strong black tea can be stronger than a lot of coffee

[Anonymous No.]

I don't see it. It just looks like a regular underground station scene to me. Everyone pretends everyone else doesn't exist.

I drink green, red black and white tea.
Also herbal tea.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5276980

"Red" tea isn't really tea, it's from a different plant. Nor are any herbal teas really tea.

Technically tea is nothing but the 'camellia sinensis' plant, meaning white, oolong, green and black are the only true teas.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5276989
Red tea is real tea, just because some racists don't want it to be tea doesn't make it tea.
Herbal teas are sub-teas though.

Did anyone else find fruit teas disappointing? They're just too watery.

She looks nice in a well tailored kimono and she's not causing a ruckus or being a nuisance, I approve. My question is why the other rider;s are avoiding her. Look at the lady with the brown bag, she's literally leaning on on the man so as to reduce any contact with the lady. That's a bit rude.

[Anonymous No.]

Japanese fermented green tea that is drunk in their ceremonies is no good.

actually, its a insult to green tea, which should be dried, full leaved tea, that is neither roasted nor seasoned, but simply dried.

pic related. Tie guan yin, up to 3000 dollars a kilo.

Not sure if I qualify as a gentleman. I drink tea out of a large cup, not a small one, and don't do the pinky thing.

White tea at the moment.

Bagged, but I can only get decent loose around Christmas time.. Seasonal vendor

>>5276964

Green is good, I usually prefer it in the morning and evenings. Although during the day black is the route I go.

>>5277085

I agree, it really seems they make it more complicated then it has to be. But tradition is tradition I suppose

[Anonymous No.]

I don't drink tea from a tea cup and I use instant bags. But once I get my own place I'd invest in some teapots and tea-ware.

I don't use cups, I just suck on the tea bags.

They're could simply be trying to avoid getting in the way of the picture, the camera should be easily visible.

I assume simple elitism, it's harder to make tea with open leaves. But I'm sure the taste is different also.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5277283

Tea bag tea is made with tea chaff, basically. Its the tea-equivalent of corn husks.

[Anonymous No.]

>>5277352
I use both and loose tea tastes a lot better.

that feel when you are sitting on the train trying your hardest to look at nothing in particular, knowing that everybody is staring at you.

I usually stand by the door and look out the window for this reason.

>red tea is tea

No, it's not. It's called Rooibos and it's from an entirely different plant.

Black tea is red tea if you are Chinese.

[/jp/'s Resident Tea Fag !bjPAHqTeMk No.]

The only tea that is really tea is stuff from the "camellia sinensis" plant.

Black tea is fully oxidized, green partially, oolong less so, and white has little to no oxidization. Pu-erh is fermented tea that has been aged like a wine in the open air for many weeks or months. It gives it a very earthy taste and a smell that resembles soil.

Everything else is a "tisane" (proper term for herbal tea). With the exceptions of stuff like "red tea" which is called Rooibos and comes from "aspalathus linearis" plant, more similar to legumes than real tea.

But for the sake of the English language, it's all tea in the end. Pic related, I think tea plantations are very pretty.
