Blue Jay eggshell!! Gorgeous!

Worth it!! Looooove persimmons!!

Surreal & stunning visuals! Wow!

I love tea season too, all shou, all the brief days. Contrast of cold & cozy. Raising a cuppa to ya, friend!

Love these little guys! I have never seen them grow on a pine cone before, wow! Great shot.

Happy Native Feast Day! Renaming today, & choosing to honor connection & gratitude. 🧡

It is definitely a complicated day, I feel that for sure.

I’m thankful for you & all the lovely tea community here, raising a cuppa to you all!!

Now that’s my kind of community!

Love these textures!

The english language doesn’t have a very good selection of vocabulary words for tastes & smells, I find it makes relating tea experiences to others most challenging. Well done!

We all seem to be going through it personally in addition to the big going through it. Sending out tiny mushroom vibes to everyone!!!

So fancy, love her!!

I feel you. No amount of tea can override hibernation mode some days 🙄

I love how their tail matches the chaxi

That looks freakin’ delicious!!

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that HING!

That’s real. Thermos tea is its own whole adventure; currently I’m making a long decoction of chaga, then using it to overnight brew shou pu’er chunky nugs in a thermos. It’s magnificent!

I have used the water cooler hot water function, & if that’s not an option, thermos of hot water. My partner created an entire gongfu setup at his desk in the before times when work-not-from-home was the dominant thing. A portable kettle is another option if you have to bring it home each night.
