Bluesky is my one politics-free space, so expect to see me post a lot about chanoyu, books, and pictures I’ve taken. Seattle based, gay, nerdy.

Every six months in Seattle, right around robiraki and Shoburi no Shiki, there is the Kyoto Arts & Antiques sale.
Against all odds, I found a new and nearly complete chatsubo. All it’s missing is one of the shin/gyo/sou cords. (1/2)

Things like this are why i shouldn’t go look at tea dōgu stores. Look at it! It’s so cute.
I mean, it’s only really appropriate around Tanabata (July 7), but I can see it joining my collection in the future.

Today’s tea break is Lunda Blandning from Tehuset Java in Sweden: black tea, lemon peel, rose petals, blackberry leaves. Not normally a black tea person, but I love this combination.
A friend’s in-laws send it her family. Through a beautiful series of coincides this bag made it to my house.
