I’m brewing this to Mariage Frères’ instructions for this morning in my new teapot: http://www.redblossomtea.com/teaware/xdj-teapot-iron-spot-1017.html. I may have over leafed it. It’s been so long since I’ve attempted to use an recommended amount of tea that I have misplaced my tea scale…That’s embarrassing.

Ugh. I really didn’t think there was anything special about this tea. It was incredibly smooth and, but just didn’t have enough going on. Oh well. I have a lot of this, so hopefully my next steeping will be better.

Preparation

Tea means so many things to me, it is so deep and it is revealing new meaning to me all the time.

Tea is a mindfulness practice, and a doorway through which to explore different philosophies, cultures, and historical times. Tea is hospitality and a way of communion. Tea is an art, a ritual, and a tradition. Tea is a complement to the foods I eat (preferably vegan desserts) and is something I enjoy collecting and curating.

I love to swap, or even just send people samples, so if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, just send me a message!
