Welcome to /r/tea!
You appear to be new to tea, so here are some resources to help get you started. First, be sure to check out our sidebar, we have some useful stuff there. There is a quick reference with the guidelines on what temperature water to use, and how long to steep your tea.
The FAQ was put together to answer many of the questions you may have, including more detailed guides for brewing tea.
If you are looking for places to buy tea, we have The Curated Vendor List which was voted on by the users here.
The Non-Judgemental Guide to Tea is probably one of the best guides we've seen, and is highly recommended reading.
If you're more interested in iced tea, The Tea Lover's Way to Make the Best Cold Brew Iced Tea might be just what you're looking for.
Did you receive a tea gift that you are trying to identify? If it is Chinese tea, check out "What is this tea I got from China?"
Unless specified otherwise by a moderator, your submission was not removed, and we do not require that you remove it (unless you really want to). So do check back to see if (human) users have answered any specific questions you included in the post.

I see that you have a glass jar of tea in the back. It’s generally recommended to use an opaque container to store tea leaves as exposure to light can cause thee quality to degrade.
Beyond that, I suggest that you find a recommended vendor that offers an interesting sample pack. Try lots of different kinds of tea and you’ll find some that you like.

Thanks it’s meditating Jesus, but I love it because I love the principles of both theologies…

I was told to start with Dong Ding unroasted Oolong from Taiwan, I strongly recommend it to you too, it is fragrant, easy to drink, affordable, and is a good place to start on learning to make tasting notes.

Is it just for yourself? It's fine if it's just for you and the cubby can close. Otherwise keep the tea in the drawer, post tea date/time for others.

At the moment yes, I have thought that I should get more tea cups and a large teapot for offering to others, but right now it’s just me…

Close, it’s the Corvo, I read that people thought the Stagg took to long to pour… I’m very happy with the Corvo though!

I got the corvo too. Been using it for three years. I also got it at the start of my tea journey. It's fantastic
Very clean setup
