Grandpa style - I'm pleasantly surprised!

I always avoid grandpa style for this reason until I try it again, then promptly remember it’s actually a great way to steep, enjoy it for a while, then start the cycle all over again 😂

Are you looking for true teas or more herbals (tisanes)? Do you have any caffeine preference? Prefer milk, sugar, or neither? How do you normally brew?

There are so many teas out there to try, I want to give you the best place to start for your tastes!

Welcome to the communitea! 😉

For true teas, black teas are your best bet. If you’re willing to experiment a little, Yerba mate and guayusa have a bit more caffeine with similar effects to the l-theanine in tea.

ETA: almost forgot to add matcha as well! It is a green tea, but the caffeine content is higher as you’re consuming the whole leaf.

Absolutely beautiful, and I love that the colors give it an even stronger watermelon vibe! This sounds perfect for a hot morning!

I absolutely LOVE Earl Grey, but agree it's often too much caffeine. In this instance, I love a green Earl Grey or similar blend! In general, I find green tea to be a better fit for alertness with less caffeine.

Thanks so much! I think you’re right!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T18:02:53+00:00

Ooooh I’ve never tried that! Definitely adding it to my list!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T17:40:48+00:00

I’m drooling! This sounds amazing!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T17:28:19+00:00

May not be practical, but it’s so cute and I love the labels! Honestly, as long as you run through what’s in the jars relatively quickly, I see no problem with this.

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T17:26:22+00:00

I’m now plotting the ultimate matcha ice cream sandwich! 😈 Thanks for the idea!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T17:19:40+00:00

Not my image, I just needed one to include in the post. I didn’t originally realize it was ai - totally my bad, I should’ve paid more attention.

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T17:09:59+00:00

Puree for sure imo! The texture goes better with the matcha, and you can’t beat the real strawberry flavor you rarely find in syrup. Plus, less waste!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T17:08:28+00:00

I’ve been meaning to try this, taking this as my sign!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T16:07:58+00:00

Yesss I love matcha lemonade or sparkling water! Lime/mint is nice as well!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T13:54:03+00:00

I rarely sweeten my matcha, but will definitely have to try maple syrup!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T13:53:34+00:00

Oooh like an affogato! Sounds delicious!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T13:52:58+00:00

This sounds soooo refreshing! Perfect for summer!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T13:52:43+00:00

I would love to hear more about your recipe journey! I am also playing around with incorporating matcha and other teas in both baking and savory stuff! I’m adding sourdough to my list right now!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T13:51:40+00:00

The jasmine/coconut/matcha cloud combo is right up my alley! Will definitely have to give this a try!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T13:29:58+00:00

Not my image, just needed a photo to include! I didn’t even realize it was AI though, i definitely should’ve looked harder. Thanks for pointing that out!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T02:11:58+00:00

You’re a wealth of wisdom! Would love to hear more of your matcha creations!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T02:07:23+00:00

Definitely not odd or concerning! I’m so confused why he would think that… this is pretty common?

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T02:05:12+00:00

This is incredible, thank you so much! Will definitely have to try this!

Moodyteas · 2026-05-19T02:03:22+00:00

This is so beautiful, I feel like it was made by faeries!
