I say that green is for foreigners and black tea is for gentlemen.
Already said but… Why not both? :D
Honestly, I love them all 😍
This is dangerously close to pizza toppings, isn’t it?
Personally, I’m a massive floozy for a particular blend of Ginseng Oolong - Most Oolongs I’ve tried taste/smell like ARSE, but one of my local companies does it somehow different and it coats the inside of my mouth beautifully (like coffe, wine or whisky can do, for example).

Both! Both is good ;)
White tea getting no love smh.
Definitely black tea. Somehow it feels more versatile to me, not sure why that should matter but it does, haha!
It depends on my mood. There’s so many teas within these two categories. I hate limiting myself.
Black for me, but in the summer I tend to prefer blue tea (oolong tea, kinda half-way between green and black).
Yes, Oolong too, though personally, I mostly prefer it in the autumn - in summer, more greens and whites
I started out only drinking black, though as I’ve spent more money on tea, getting higher quality, I’ve enjoyed the depth of fresher (greener) teas. I’d have to say green, but with the caveat that I enjoy drinking all types often.
I mostly drink iced tea, and iced green tea is kind of weird.
Have you tried it with Chinese Gyokuro?^^ Or even “real”(Japanese) Gyokuro ;)
Hmm, probably not. May be worth a shot, next time I get over to the Asian grocer.
It’s funny, I live in what one would probably call a small city, population around 90k. The Asian grocer is three miles away, but it’s still like, ughhhhhhhhhhhh I need to work up the energy to go.
Might actually be easier to find at a tea shop, an Asia market might only have sencha - “real” Gyokuro tends to be kind of expensive(and i don’t think you’d find Chinese Gyokuro at the Asia market because i think it’s made for the western market) XD
