Spring tea harvest season has me reminiscing back to last year's green tea workshop at Minto Island Tea. The softness of young tea leaves, the sticky texture while kneading, the aroma of steamed greenery…there's a vibrant romance to spring processing! 🌱🥰

The Last Meeting

We who are young, and have caught the splendour of         life,     Hunting it down the forested ways of the world, Do we not wear our hearts like a banner unfurled     (Crowned with a chaplet of love, shod with the sandals         of strife)?

Now not a lustre of pain, nor an ocean of tears     Nor pangs of death, nor any other thing That the old tristful gods on our heads may bring     Can rob us of this one hour in the midst of the years.

—Geoffrey Bache Smith, Spring Harvest (ed. J.R.R. Tolkien)

“Large quantities of fine rhubarb grown by Lloyd Leaver, Port Credit, are finding a ready market in Montreal and other cities. Recently, Mr. Leaver, his father George Leaver, and three assistants were busy packing the first consignment for shipment to Montreal.. The photograph above shows Lloyd Leaver, right, and George Lennorth showing samples of their hot-house product. Last year more than 5,000 dozen branches were shipped and this year The mark will be exceeded by 1,000 bunches.”

- from the Kingston Whig-Standard. February 27, 1933. Page 12.
