This wasn’t exactly my coziest tea moment - I was waiting for my train, which had a substantial delay, and it was so cold! - but it was a tea-bringing-strangers-together moment.

A girl my age and I sort of fell into this tiny tea shop at the same time. There was only one table with two chairs left, delivery had come and the place was stuffed with boxes, so we decided to sit together and had a nice little chat with the middle-aged lady running the place and the other people in the shop. The tea was really good, too! One sip and the tiredness from the train ride was gone. In the end she gave me a cookie and a second cup for free so I have „something to warm my hands while I wait“ ♥️🥺

April 5, 2023 — Scenes from a morning session.

Drinking this sencha & lemon is so familiar, drinking it always feels like coming home. It's been a stable and welcomed Christmas gift for the past 5 years, and has such a gentle flavour that it's perfect for sharing with less enthusiastic tea drinkers. This session was a bit of an hybrid, brewing Japanese tea in a small Chinese tea pot from my travel set, and drinking it from a Western style tea cup!

Feeling a bit off today. Hoping some tea will help me feel a bit more regular.

Getting into gongfu style tea! I thought it might be helpful to keep track of my preferences as I delve into the many categories of tea out there. Today’s tea is my first sheng puerh! Part of Yunnan Sourcing’s First Steps tea sampler, harvested in 2020. It’s interesting but I think I prefer the ripe/shou puerh that came in the same sampler as there’s an astringency with the sheng. I’ll have to try a more aged one next time I place a tea order to compare.

Today's tea: Arueshalae's blend from @starlightcleric's Wrath of the Righteous teas. The lavender and mint make this a really soothing tea!

Today's knit: I doubt you can see much difference on the Kinross Avenue Wrap from yesterday's pictures; it's pretty repetitive at this point. So instead, I pinned out a bit of it so you can see the faux-cable (done just with increases and decreases, no crossed stitches) and bead diamonds on the border. What's harder to see in photos is the lovely sheen of silk in this yarn! That silk fiber may be frustrating to untangle but it sure does knit up pretty.

Roses, roses, roses.. 🌹

The herbal & floral flavors in the Sencha are really subtle, the tea is very much the star of the show. The pastry tongs I picked up from a thrift store for 2$.

tea is such a little friend on your nightstand

Today's tea: Aramenté, Keyleth's blend from Black Lotus Tea Co.'s Vox Machina sampler. Green/white tea blend with fruity flavors and a bit of mint - it's very nice!

Today's knit: Ebb and Flow continues! I'm almost done with the neck and then it will go into a v-shaped shawl section so that it's part cowl and part shawl/neckerchief.

Enjoying about 5Gs of Puerh Junky’s Mincemeat (which is now out of stock). It’s a 7536 from 2007. I reviewed this one a while back, early in my tea journey, and I still like it! Maybe even more so now. I’m on spring break right now, enjoying the 10 days-ish away from school.

I'm sorry, your boyfriend? Yeah idk how to say this... But he fell into my teapot and now he smells like herbal lemon tea. Sorry about that.
