Speaking of tea, this has been my favorite tea all year.

“Most of the people who drink sweet potato flavor in Chaozhou are around 65 years old or even older , the taste of sweet potato flavor is their memory.”

I’m a person from Chaozhou but I’m below 65, maybe it’s the flavor my great-grandparents enjoyed. In any case I’m really enjoying it (and this is my favorite tea vendor)

Sure, a grower can adulterate CTC more easily with poorer grades of #tea. But the high-end stuff I buy tastes great! And also, quality grades in tea are partly a question of how intact the leaves are -- which is irrelevant after the CTC process and unimportant to me with my simple taste.

@innoera I don't know the brands, because I buy my tea by weight in a 110-y-o tea & coffee shop near the Swedish History Museum. But I can tell you that I don't see why CTC-processed #tea has such a poor reputation. I like it strong!

"Blood Moon Eclipse" teableau for 03/14/25

It was too cloudy for me to see the eclipse, so I made my own.

Tea tableau commemorating March 2025 total eclipse. There is a luminous red moon, three marbles signifying Sun, Earth, and Moon, and a backdrop that is a dramatically lit poster of an orca breaching before a full moon with dozens of glowing sea creatures below. A fat round red mug sits upon a coaster tile that matches the poster. A black teapot is beside it on a red and black crocheted mat.The tea is Yunnan Noir black tea from Adagio.

Nah, more like puerh. Still dark and bitter, but desired by a select few, many of which leave me to sit alone in a dark cupboard for years at a time instead of letting me out to socialize and breathe.

Other people pour themselves a whiskey to start their weekend off. I also hit the mood-altering substances with a cup of Assam & milk.

A nod to some of the things on or in Puget Sound: Lighthouses. Giant Pacific Octopus. Sailboat. People who paint Giant Pacific Octopuses on spoons.

Tea tableau in white with red and blue with a lighthouse motif in fabric, china, and figurines. Also a wooden sailboat, a MidCentury glass creamer and sugar set, a white linen tea towel with wild crocheted fringe edges, a tablespoon handpainted with the image of a waving red octopus with yellow eyes, and the tea is English Teatime black tea from Bigelow.

Typical start to the day, this will last until late morning, then there’s the pre-lunch tea. Review of overnight logs, work and personal email, and work chores await.

Hot earl grey, hot cinnamon spice tea, iced green tea from Starbucks, and homemade iced tea (black tea with a hint of orange pekoe).

"Greenery" teableau for 03/12/25

The cup & saucer at center are very old, given to my octogenarian friend in her childhood by a WWI English vet disabled from being gassed in the trenches. My friend, raised in NZ, gave it to me in WA State. It's seen some things.

Tea tableau with a green Irish theme including a picture of a leprechaun, an Irish knitted cozy, vintage china and green glass figurines of bird, frog, and teacup, on a crocheted rectangle, with Irish Cream black tea.

The Official Best Decaf Tea Awards (Non-flavoured)
- UK Division -

Thanks to everyone who entered, by which I mean the 5 different boxes of tea I bought this week at great expense. I only really wanted 2 teabags of each brand and now have just under 400 unused decaf teabags. So thanks for that. The results are as follows.

5th place:
-- Dorset decaf, Twinings decaf --
Both just as fishy as every other well-known brand like PG Tips and Tetley but just about bearable.

3rd place:
-- Waitrose own-brand decaf tea, Yorkshire decaf --
Waitrose was the cheapest and also surprisingly mediocre in a good way. Yorkshire decaf has been in my cupboard for years so this is the average standard against which all teas have since been compared. As a Yorkshire lass, Yorkshire tea is part of my religion.

1st place:
-- Clipper Decaf --
Almost like normal tea! That's why it won! But also, it's a B-corp company (which these days is somewhat meaningless. Nestlé is B-corp? Well, okay then...) with environmentally friendly values in all the ways. No fishy tea here, my friend!

Thank you for all the sciencing!

(...Does anyone want a shit ton of decaf teabags that taste a bit like fish?)

"Still Winter" teableau for 03/11/25

Tiny tendrils of spring notwithstanding, winter lingers (and I'm okay with that).

Tea tableau in white, blue, and purple with a vintage Johnson Brothers dish showing a winter farm scene, and antique opalescent white china, a cozy tea cozy, a tiny glass polar bear figurine, upon a striped, knitted square. The tea is Earl Grey Bella Luna loose leaf black tea from Adagio.

I always want green tea this time of year but the fresh stuff (i.e., tea picked right about now through early April) doesn’t make it over to me until late spring. So I saved some of last years to drink during this time.

They are surrounded by a mint green tea-for-one set with gold leaf trim and a green and gold tea tin of Southern Belle black and green tea blend flavored with peach, rose, and sunflower petals.

Morning my pet. Today's breakfast is eggs on rice with lavender green tea. Things can be stressful and overwhelming, but we can take a moment to collect ourselves and enjoy being tied up in a different way before getting twisted into knots by the days events. And stay hydrated my thirsty pet.
