A gift from derk, and leaves she esteems highly, so… an honor.
I christened my first proper tea bowl with this tea. I was terribly patient in seeking a bowl, and patient to find its first leaves… sitting quietly with it today felt easy and comforting. Patience gets a thumbs up.
It’s been a long week of work-related-but-phenomenal classes, and I head out for a straight 48 hours of actual work in the morning. These minutes were welcome respite and afforded some reflection.
The orchid is just so. So grounding, but so light; so beautiful, but so… hm, practical. The evergreen lets the florals hang in a way that feels tenuous… ah, but they persist. I watched the leaves unfurl and churn and resituate and drop, absorbing water like inspiration for the next right thing. I thought about the so-many hands that had touched them before I sat dumbfounded, watching them rewind.
I need to watch more tea leaves.
Flavors: Butter, Evergreen, Orchid, Vanilla

Phenomenal classes sounds wonderful. I love School, and books, and learning! Getting to do some hands on stuff now will be equally exciting for you, I hope!
Ugh, me too! I wish someone would pay me to go to class for a living!
Yes, watching tea leaves unfurl can be magical. :) Where did you get your tea bowl? I’ve been thinking of getting one, but they’re all so expensive.
It’s funny you say that, because the website sells the most expensive, ridiculous indulgences I think I’ve ever seen. But the bowl was reasonable for handmade from an artist who really seems to have his heart in it.
That is lovely!
Derk, can you save me some for our swap lol? I’ve got all the roasted Japanese ready. I need to try out the Yuzu smoked tea too!
Daylon – certainly
Sweet. Same Address? I’ve got all of the smoked tea.
