Thanks, @trinsec!! I have so much to learn. I’m just now realizing there are different types of honey.:) This could be a deep rabbit hole. I will start with Acacia honey as the favor profile looks delicious and I guess it is good at being mixed with liquid.

@derickflorian I absolutely love me some acacia honey in my teas. So much so that I just can't stand the default flower honey anymore, heh.

In fact, I'll go make me a simple ceylon tea now with lots of the good acacia-y stuff.

@trinsec I will try that combo and I will have to bug you as I explore more teas!

@derickflorian Even though I drink tea every day, I'm actually not a big tea connoisseur. I'm rather picky and have a narrow taste there. :)

Edit: That's to say, I've tried testing out some unconventional teas, and found some tastes that I can add to my tea-vocabulary in order to avoid the caffeines found in normal black teas. But it is not a huge vocabulary.

@trinsec @derickflorian (Don't want to intrude but have to recommend rooibos/red bush tea and fynbos honey.)

@dimi Yeah, I don't like rooibos at all. So you two can have a seperate conversation all about that if you'd like. ;)

@derickflorian

@dimi Though I'll have to look up about that honey someday. But honey is pretty expensive here lately so I'll stick to which I know I like for now.

@derickflorian

@dimi I will write that down. I have had rooibos in the past and remember liking it! That looks like a good non-caffeine choice.

From googling it I like how both the tea and the honey are coming from the same geographic area.

@derickflorian @dimi Rooibos is very excellent but you will want to get either a super fine mesh strainer or a fine weave cloth bag to brew it in as it comes in very fine leaves.
Rooibos is one of my favs during the day and it is even good after it gets cold.

@JensHannemann I will have to look out for east frisian tea! I have not even heard of it. I will also check at the tea store at the mall near me. Maybe the owner would be able to order it if they don’t have it. I need to buy more from there because every time I go to the mall I nervously check if they are still around but then don’t buy anything. :)

@derickflorian Yeah, it's the only tea-drinking region of Germany. Otherwise coffee reigns supreme. You'll be most likely to get Teekanne, which is not from East Frisia, but a decent mix. As I said, Bünting is probably best, followed by Thiele, but that's probably even harder to get outside of #Ostfriesland. It traditionally goes with large rock candy sugar called #Kluntje and some heavy cream.

@hasmis Haha, thanks, Harold! Is this the start of qoto secret santa exchange lol

@derickflorian I'd send you some bitcoin to cover it, but I seem to have lost my wallet...

@hasmis 😂 My check for your gift is in the mail too!

@derickflorian I'm funny because I am an old Canadian who has seen it all. I sit on the old-man bench in town. On my one side sits Jeff who keeps trying to give poor people Amazon stock. I keep whacking him on the head. On my other side sits Elon who gives people a dollar bill and then snatches it from their hand. I leave him alone.

@bluehazy Now we’re talking! Much better than coffee and donuts.

@derickflorian
Ah yes! A large mug of steaming tea goes down a treat. Sorry, not a coffee drinker. Do love a jammy donut though 😋
