Kinda ranty, (Iam sorry Iam a tea account ik) but why is everything AI now? Pinterest is getting bought by OpenAI soon, I already get AI posts there, even tho I turned them off - it feels like my favourite platform is dying. The thing Iam studying is very likely getting replaced by AI, and I feel so dumb and rejected amongst my classmates because I don't want to use it in the design aspect. Social media apps are now riddled with chatbots that I don't want there. Mom sends me a video? AI slop. Youtube has some sections with AI summaries of short comments?? The video of a cute puppy or cat? AI. Now I have to question everything I see. It honestly has put me into a state of sadness I haven't felt in a while. Iam an adult now, and although I knew adulthood won't be easy, I did not expect it to be this level miserable. All the wars, genocides, climate change and this weird techfacism going on. How is one supposed to be hopeful for the future? How does one stay mentally healthy and sane really?

Cup of whippedcream instead of tea because what the f*ck.

drinking pai mu tan (i bought a whole cake some time ago) while watching the amazing anime adaption of a manga ive been a huge fan of for years,, i think ive been collecting it since the day it started coming out in czech, which was back in 2020. ive never expected wha to get such a great adaptation, i was quite skeptical about it at first, but oh man, this is some of the most beautiful anime ive ever watched.

also, this was an awesome train ride! not just that there were no delays, but i got to watch the sunset and had the whole coupe just for myself, so i did not have to struggle with anxiety that i would otherwise experience if i had to share the space with someone. oh god, if it was always this nice...

Night blossom fragrance oolong from One River Tea! Absolutely delightful. It is delicate and floral without being perfumed and overpowering.

Almost forgot to share but my new gaiwan is in! It's super light and the edges are quite wide so I don't burn my fingers lol

It's so cute I'm so happy with it! 🪻 I'm going to try to find other green or nature inspired teaware to complete the set ~

The difference of a steeped and unsteeped tea is so crazy. Here you can see jasmine dragon pearl tea in different stages.

Do you guys have those teas that you just don't touch? Not because they are bad, but because they are soo good and precious to you? It has been a while since my Prague tea trip. And there I found my most beloved tea that I keep hidden for very special occasions - Manwa Yesheng Yabao from Banna House.

I just realized how little I actually drink it, even though I love it so much. Smells and tastes like fresh roses, a super elegant white tea it is! While finally having it today, I realized it is important to cherish this tea, but it should be in the form of drinking it.

Cheers!

started reading the last goddess (or žítková goddesses) by kateřina tučková today. last week, i visited the area where the story takes place, although only for a day. still, it has helped me a lot with picturing and imagining the written scenes. i saw the village žítková only from a distance, but we spent a night at starý hrozenkov, another village that often gets mentioned in the story. how nice! and what tea did i pick today? well, the sample that came with my order yesterday - shincha nakahata zairai / yabukita asamushi 2026!! i was thinking about buying this one too, but it was quite expensive aand i also prefered the description of the other shincha that the store offered. this one was nice, im glad i got to taste it. the flavor stayed strong for a while. though, i woud prefer it a little less sour and floral. i prefer my shincha a little sweeter!

also, my dog was accompanying me for the most time! hes so fun to be around. i gave him strawberries too, since he loves fruits and vegetables. i may give him raspberries, blueberries or a watermelon tomorrow, but only if i decide not to go on the planned trip to prague zoo (im really excited to see the new bird species that went on show recently).
