A friend brought back this tea set and tea from Vietnam for me. Excited to fill it up and try the teas! #tea #teasky #teafeed

For National Hot Tea Day (US) I'm enjoying a massive quantity of black tea in a new dragon scale tea mug I received as a gift. It holds so much tea. I love it. #tea #handmadepottery

I usually assume that people who love tea are lovely people, but getting blocked for requesting ALT text isn't lovely. I manage a starter pack to help people connect with tea people (yay!), but inclusivity is a priority. Please use alt text and I'll be happy to include you. #teafeed #teasky #tea

You can also get a reasonably large bamboo board with hose attachment that is less artistic than the carved boards but lightweight and can be stored in it's box more easily. Holds your full gong fu cha set, can squeeze three gaiwans for a group or tea comparisons. Same places as the small wood tray.

You can get smaller, fairly plain wooden teaboards off many online purchasing platforms like Amazon, Etsy, AliExpress. They hold one gaiwan/teapot fine, easy to store, easy to travel, inexpensive. You can manage two gaiwans if you crowd the board, or switch out. I bought this off Amazon.

This one is mine, I love it. Downsides are that it's not very portable, takes up a lot of space when not in use, and they are expensive to buy.

Packed up tea, teaware, tea board, snacks to serve tea at a friend's family's house. Forgot the teaware next to the door at home, of course, so brewed this Wild Sky pu erh in a pitcher that was in a box of donation items in my car trunk. The tea was still delicious. #tea #teafeed

I liked the weird way that the lights reflected in my cup of tea.

Crafternoon at a friend's home (I love her china!) and we enjoyed Gingerbread Festival tea from @harneyandsons.bsky.social sweetened with a bit of maple sugar candy. (Not the whole piece.) It went together really nicely.

Book club tea selections:
* Yunnan Gold from Floating Leaves Tea
* Imperial Grade shou puerh from Crimson Lotus Tea
* Bloodberry from Spice Traders Tea

Also had Mr. Darcy's Delight from @fridaytea.com but we didn't get to it. It will be our starting tea next month.

Love this derpy tiger tea set.

Visited the new Tea Steeps teashop in Edmonds today to kick off planning for the 2025 Cascadia Tea Festival.

Tried the Signature Breakfast and Strawberry Swirl blends and their delicious scones. Maybe two delicious scones.

The first Tolkien I read, and my favorite, was a book with The Smith of Wootton Major and Farmer Giles of Ham. I read it when I was in 5th or 6th grade.

Later The Hobbit and LOTR didn't feel as fairy tale mythic as SWM/FGH or as glowing magical as the Hildebrandt Brothers art promised.

Malachi McCormick blend (assam and keemun) from Harney & Sons Tea while I tried to capture a picture of this quick-winged friend.

Invested time this evening presenting a session on tea for a Girl Scouts troop. Loved spending time with 2nd - 5th graders exploring tea and its history. We had a black breakfast tea, a scented black tea, osmanthus oolong, and a 2022 Vietnamese dark tea. It was really fun.

Voted! Women's federal healthcare rights are already diminished, and it is worth voting to maintain what's left. Please vote. Not for GOP.

Four BS initiatives in WA, No to all of them. "Would decrease education spending. Would decrease transportation spending. Would repeal taxes on the rich." Nope.

Beware the sinking mud paths of Bob's. Doom! Despair!

... we had fun overall.

Visited Bob's Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch today. Brought a thermos of Cascadian Dong Ding Oolong from Floating Leaves Tea and was really grateful for it an hour+ into the corn mud pits. We eventually made our way out, but it looked like Woodstock 94 in there.

Tasty apple and pumpkin donuts.
