these tea diaries are turning my tea drinking into a practice and i really appreciate that 🙏 even when I'm doing anything special, just writing about it makes me put more thought into my tea-making

I've also watched a Japanese movie about a girl learning tea ceremony (Nichi Nichi Kore Kojitsu) so who am I kidding about calming down :D

I'm currently drinking a rooibos-fruit tea mix, with gerbeaud cake flavor. Herbária is terrible, they do flavors well but my 4 dl mug needs 3 bags so that I get a flavorful brew.

I've also started to think about when I should lift the tea-buying embargo, but I guess it will happen based on categories, so when fruit teas run out, I get more fruit teas, when greens and whites run out, we can get more of those, etc. Black teas are the biggest issue...

I'm thinking about buying a bunch of the wintry fruit teas and reviewing them, a LOT of the bags have so little tea even though the flavor profile is fun and often other brands do the same thing much better.

I'm also at the end of our bagged green teas.
Jules said she actually likes rooibos so I got out our reserves for her and I can forget about it :''D I do like some at the evenings, but I'm picky with rooibos.
We are also doing well on fruit teas. Should I post a shelfie about we are working with? :D

i'm thinking about whether I have calmed down a little since I got my travel set, but I think actually it's the fact that now I'm learning about tea again and the validity of differenty styles uwu
I drank the last cup of a cookie flavored Bird and Blend batch and it was really nice.

nyáron a Beauty of Joseon fényvédőjét használtam, most visszaváltottam a revoxra és 🙏 finally hidratál is picit a fényvédőm, azt néha hiányoltam a BoJból…

we tried it with some coconut milk oolong (ok, but not super suitable) and turkish green tea (way too bitter), and overall it was fun. I'm learning a lot :D
I think i will give some chais away because we are not drinking them at all, I made one yesterday and it just did not sit well with me...

after many days dreaming about gongfu style brewing, I finally bought a travel kit for it, it's not a proper gongfu set but it's enough to get started. I do want a proper gaiwan though still, and I need proper tea for it as well.

Lehel út? mi is oda mentünk egyszer amikor sürgősen kellett állatorvos, arra hogy éjszaka kapjatok valamilyen ellátást ok, de utána mi is átmentünk a szokásos dokijainkhoz másod meg harmadvéleményért, aztán az ellátó dokink elintézte hogy inkább az egyetemen maradhasson.

Maybe I will set up a reminder 3 times a day to check in with myself to do something I would enjoy/would make my life nicer (I do have some admin stuff to do...)

Hi! It's been somewhat of a dry season when it comes to work lately, and I've had some projects cancelled, so any shares are truly welcome! 💫

Hi! I'm Lur Noise and I do illustration, concept art and comics.

I love drawing sci-fi, fantasy, tech, architecture, critters and plants. I'm available for both commissions and longer work!

Poster style color illustration of An Antidote for Strychnine, a song by The Mountain Goats. It's composed of several panels displaying different images based on the song: lab rats, chemicals, fish bones... Green and blue tones predominate, but the band's name and the song title are written in yellow.

Color illustration of a gas filled armored being. The armor is translucent in parts on the limbs and their spherical head, where said gas can be seen.

Color illustration of some red slipper lobsters resting atop of a tiled, half flooded floor. The tiles are blue and yellow, with fleur-de-lis flowers drawn on them.

I would love to have a reading marathon but I honestly don’t think I could keep it up… but I want to try…

I’m trying to put together how I could fit Everything into my 10 days of vacation and aaaaaaaaa
What if I did not make thematic days where I tried to read and watch everything but instead took out a few hours for Stuff I Like To Do 🤔 although I might still put a day away just for movies…

also it turned out that I kept scalding our black teas, so I'm being gentler with our teas now...

today we have emptied the Highland tea's tea caddy and we also finished a breakfast tea. I threw out some mystery teabags that we had lying around and I organized the fruit teas we have. I'm thinking that I will make a thread about the wintery fruit teas available in Hungary because I have Opinions.

the last few days were slow but I have jumped into a rabbithole of gongfu tea, which is the Chinese "proper"-ceremonial type brewing and after I dreamt about it several times, I'm getting a little set next week! not a proper one yet, but it will be a good start.

Ez mekkora menőség már! Edukáció és kapcsolatteremtés a füstölgés és utálkozás helyett.
Hajrá MK! Hajrá Futárok Ligája! Hajrá terézvárosi önkormányzat!

Elkészült a Magyar Kerékpárosklub első urdu és vietnámi nyelvű kiadványa

Az új kiadványainkkal egy olyan közösséghez is el tudunk jutni, akikkel eddig nem tudtunk kapcsolatot teremteni – pedig ők is mindennap velünk közlekednek Budapesten.

Mi is érezzük, hogy nő a feszültség a járdán közlekedő, gyakran külföldi futárok körül. De mi nem büntetni, hanem megszólítani szeretnénk őket.

Ezért a Futárok Ligájával közösen egész októberben kimegyünk az utcára, összesen nyolc alkalommal, hogy beszélgessünk a futárokkal, tájékoztassuk őket, és átadjuk az angol, urdu és vietnámi nyelvű anyagainkat.

Köszönjük Terézvárosnak, hogy beálltak a projekt mögé és támogatják ezt az úttörő kezdeményezést! A projekt végén beszámolunk majd a tapasztalatokról, és a kiadványokat is megosztjuk.
