Breaking my silence with a picdump! I’ve been focusing mostly on posting on Insta these days and you can follow me there (at)tsaa.ny. These days have been challenging, but more and more I see the importance of bonding over tea and taking time out to appreciate this most magnificent plant.

Enjoying some Taiwanese organic shanlinxi oolong this evening as a treat. After a grueling day of work, slowing down and settling into my routine always helps! ☺️🍵

It’s been a while but I just HAD to share my new shiboridashi because I’m so excited about it! It’s by Japan-based ceramicist Chie Kobayashi and holds ~40ml. It’s the perfect size and shape for a thick, juicy gyokuro! I’m not such a huge fan of gyokuro, but I noticed how balanced and sweet the tea liquor became when I brewed it in the shiboridashi, and it helps that it’s just so pretty to look at!

Beautiful ancient bush Yunnan Hong Cha this evening! Pictures don’t do it justice...

From yesterday: Guanyin and a cup of black tea for a frigid afternoon!

Beautiful notes of plum, burnt honey, and a hint of black olive on the finish. Smooth, silky mouthfeel and a taste that became more even with subsequent steeps. My companion agreed with me: wonderful cha qi. I had to take some home with me on my way out!
