Brewed tea leaves, think they're the best part. There's a good number that are terrible (the cheap CTC blacks especially) but think most green teas and floral oolongs are great.
Weird to brew a cup of tea and then eat the leaves but there's also some legit recipes with tea leaves. Burmese tea leaf salad and longjing shrimp are two. There's also matcha.
Yeah, I joined to talk about books and even though I'm going to agree with the politics of most of Beehaw's news posters, I can't mentally handle another doom-scroll. I ended up blocking a bunch of communities but it's made my local feed very empty - only one page over and I've got posts that are 3 days old. And there's still a ton of negative news.
It also makes me pretty uncomfortable blocking communities like LGBT+ because I do want to see LGBT+ content in my feed and excluding it like this feels pretty gross. And it makes me uncomfortable admitting this because the news content is important, and people being able to post about it is way more important than my avoiding a doom-scroll.
If I want to talk about my hobby I should go make the content I want, but it takes... skill, and I just don't have it. Also I'm new and don't think I have a good grasp of what kinds of posts the community'll like.
