    It's very good! It smells/tastes like a campfire sort of. I guess the leaves are burnt or something before packaging that gives them that particular taste.

    For Earl Grey I like the Stash Double Bergamot variety. I like mine extra bergamot-y... if that's not obvious lol.

    I'm new to the tea lingo so I'm honestly not sure what bergamot is lol. Hm, smoky flavored tea? Sounds interesting. I'm curious if I'd like it :o

But it's nice because you can do it indoors
    This sounds amazing! How much tending to do they need? I'm not an avid tea drinker currently, but I'm curious about this in general for the future.

    Keep in mind that these aren't tea leaves or anything and I'm not sure what else you'd need to make an actual lavender tea But it doesn't take much tending at all! Seriously the only thing you have to do is add water when the light turns red on the water button and add plant food when the light turns red. The lights turn on and off on their own on a timer you set. It's so self sustaining lol. It seriously waters itself too.

    Ohh I love tea
    Here it is very common to buy tea strands from native plants, or to grow them yourself. I usually make my own infusions and my favorites are lemon, ginger, mint and chamomile. Sometimes I mix more than one
    ah... I think I'll make myself some tea now.

    Oh that's amazing! See I'd love that! The only native plant worth noting for me is honeysuckle which I'm sure would make an excellent tea actually lol. Everything else is...poisonous lmao.

    Bergamot is a plant that produces citrus fruit, and the oil from it is infused in Earl Grey blends. That's the hint of citrus-y, kind of tangy flavor you get in most EG.

    It's a very comfy blend! I recommend trying it. I think it's a blend of oolong and black teas.

    YAAAAASSSSS I am 100% not a coffee person (hate the taste) but tea is my jam! Definitely into black and red teas, I don't really drink herbal or floral ones at all. (At bubble tea stores though if I'm not getting a milk tea I'll get a black tea with a fruit mix, especially during the summer time)

    My go-to tea in the morning is Twining's English Breakfast Tea with a (healthy) splash of milk! Although I've been drinking considerably less as of late because it is summer and I don't fancy a hot drink when it's hot outside. xD My favorite tea flavor though is Earl Grey, for sure. Love having desserts with Earl Grey flavor like macarons or ice cream! Jasmine has been steadily climbing up my favorite list though, because a local bubble tea place makes an amazing cold brew Jasmine milk tea that I could just inject straight into my veins LOOOL

    I don't mind coffee but I never got really into it I got this green tea with some herbal leaves in it (can't remember which flower it was lol, might be jasmine). It was just too floral for me.

    I never really got into putting milk in my tea I was in Kenya last year and they have a designated tea time since they were once a British colony. They put milk in their tea and I HATED it lol. But their raw tea was excellent. So I just had to be the weird one that liked their tea naked lol. We don't have any local bubble tea shops around but when I'd get it, I'd get the taro tea. Tasted so sweet like cake or something XD
