Finally finished this piece. It’s the Genmaicha Tea Shawl pattern by RedTeapotAtelier, completed in a thread stranded Hobbii limited edition Black Friday cake colourway.

I’m so enamoured by the beautiful ombre (which is reminiscent of my wedding dress hem!) & that I managed to get the colour block lengths to size match almost perfectly.

estos días mi pasatiempo es beber té y leer a robin hobb.

tés que he estado tomando estos últimos días... kukicha, hojicha, hojicha en polvo con leche y genmaicha.

Got a new order of teas in this weekend! A collection of Japanese green teas From Ito En: yuzu sencha, genmaicha, hojicha, and chiran sencha (not pictured)

I've had the yuzu sencha and genmaicha so far. The yuzu sencha has an oddly resinous taste about it. Both it and the genmaicha are very savory and almost brothy.

It's odd, because I thought I had had high-ish quality Japanese greens before, but maybe I haven't. I'm getting all sorts of interesting herbal notes, nori, and brussels sprout notes. I do think I understand the notes the Japanese green tea people are going on about. They are obvious.

I'm really excited to try the hojicha. The bag smells almost chocolatey, and the leaf size looks pretty nice. The previous hojicha I bought from a different company I expect to be not nearly as good as this one, so I have to drink up 5 bags first.

(I only ordered from Ito En because their bottled green tea actually tastes like tea, and thus I felt I could trust them. I have since been proven correct.)
