A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

As far as I can tell, Darjeeling and regular old Irish breakfast tea essentially taste the same. But the former is more expensive. I think I've been scammed by Big Tea. (self.showerthoughts)

I'm on a weekend vacation and forgot to bring my tea and the international grocery didn't have it, so I settled for Darjeeling. I can barely notice the difference. It's so subtle that it might as well just be a different tea brand.

IBT is best tea and I will die on this hill.

Or maybe any hill. Perhaps I just want to die on some kind of hill? (/s btw:-P)

Try a single estate Assam, it's what it's made out of, but better

I've literally never seen or heard of that, but that does sound nice!:-)

This is where I get mine from: https://www.tea-and-coffee.com/buy-tea/location/assam-tea

Very reasonable, especially when you compare it to equivalent quality coffee beans. And you don't need the equipment to go with it ...

One sugar, splash of lemon, it is really great.

Often I will just drink it straight, especially if with a yogurt. Or a bit of creamer, whereupon you can still taste it through that and also with breakfast:-).
