I'm all about real brewed tea. None of that fruity flavored/sugary artificial stuff for me. When I need a little pick-me-up, I brew Tieh Kuan Yin (I think it translates to "Iron Goddess"). Occasionally, I'll mix some milk into the TKY and add in some freshly boiled tapioca pearls (aka pearl milk tea). Sometimes I'll brew some Oolong or nice, imported Jasmine.

However, our traveling friends sometimes get us this amaaazing, high-quality tea that I think is pronounced something like "pou ni". It is AMAZING. Silky smooth, bitter yet sweet, with no aftertaste. I'm craving it now

We brew our teas in porcelain teapots when guests are over and we use a plain ceramic pot for everyday brews.
