Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

TEA! I got really into tea over covid. I have loads of paraphernalia, a monthly tea subscription and strong opinions on what is good tea.
As a British person I heartily agree. What's your favourite type of tea?
If they don't say Yorkshire I'm leaving.
Passionately agree
Yorkshire Gold ☕️🤍
You are going to be disappointed I'm afraid
flounce
I have two different tea categories. A normal cuppa or brew serves a very differs purpose to 'fancy' tea. So I have two answers.
For a cuppa my go-to is 1 bag of twinings english breakfast and 1 bag of twinings earl grey made in a teapot. Its kind of just what I really associate with that kind of tea as it is how my mother made it when I was young. I'll happily throw a bag of Yorkshire tea in a mug but its not my favourite way of doing it.
Fancy tea... I very much came down on green teas as my favourite but lighter oolongs and sheng (raw) pu erhs are up there too. I'd be hard pushed for a firm favourite but I have a wonderfully sweet and creamy gyokuro karigane japanese 'twig' tea and a chinese 'yun wu ming qian cloud mist' that was light, sweet and utterly delicious.
I go for a cuppa as a caffeine hit or just something nice in the morning or a drink when doing stuff but a fancy tea during the day as something a little more ritualistic as a nice break from work.
Those are excellent choices! You sound like a proper connoisseur you know your shit
I got really, really into it. I get a monthly subscription box with 4 uncommon and expensive teas, 2 light and 2 dark per box. I have a whole tea battle station in my living room (my mother's ercol cabinet that no longer fits in her house) with all the tea and excess equipment inside and tea making facilities on top!
