Mistodon: before he mastered #ASCIIart, another niche field in which @littlebitspace had steeped was the world of #tea infusion and service. This piece from his back catalogue represents an overlap of both worlds, yet despite its relative vintage (only four years old!) it is still relatively fresh relatively to the materials from the '90s which it was served up alongside in the time capsule of the new IMBIBE01 electronic magazine about food and drink.
"Thursday After Thunder" teableau for 03/27/25
There was a wild storm last night- momentous lightning, ground-shaking thunder, hard rain- that caught houses on fire & blew out windows. Yet today, it's as if nothing at all occurred, just sedate calm all around. Storms be that way.
Happy Thursday! As always, I hope you know where your towel is! 
Today’s reminder is to stretch! (I am 100% calling out one me!) Take this moment to move in a way that feels good for you, from hand stretches to even eye stretches! You’ve got this! 
Today’s tea is Assam milk tea, we needed comfy vibes to start the day! What are you brewing up? 
"Dragon Cake" (2018) is another younger raw puerh from Xizihao Daughter. Not as muscular as Drunk, nor as floral-complex as Spreading Joy. A nice middle between the two. (The piece I got in the sample is ridiculously dense, includes a bit of the notch on the back of the cake.)

"Dear Ruth" teableau for 03/26/25
I love vintage greeting cards. The one here is from the 1950s.
Among Japan’s most dedicated tea producers, Honda Mohei from Mohei Tea works as a guardian of Japan's tea culture. Rooted in the tea-rich region of Shizuoka, Mohei continues the expertise of generations past, balancing traditional techniques with modern innovation.
I'm getting ready for an #art show at the Pendleton Art Center- #Cincinnati (This Friday-come visit) and
have to take a break from my daily #tea pot challenge.
Here's #teapot #11 another year of the #snake design
This is unfired #porcelain. decorated and ready for the kiln!
Happy Wednesday! I hope it’s going great so far! 
Today’s reminder is to do something nice for someone else! Maybe you check on a friend, or maybe you leave a nice note on that fanfic you just read! (Keysmashes count!) Spread joy in all the small ways in the world, it all helps so much! 
Today’s tea is chai, we’re testing a new blend! What are you brewing up?
Taiwan based Xizihao Daughter has even more opaque tea names and descriptions than White2Tea. For a long time they didn't even have a website. To be honest, I am not really sure how to differentiate their teas beyond price. They do have very nice tea wrappers. I can tell you I enjoy their 2018 Spreading Joy raw puerh more than their 2021 Drunk raw puerh.

The Teras café in Bangor University serve their #tea with a coded egg timer depending how strong you like it!! Wow! My universe is complete - must get a small one to keep in my pocket… I could use the phone’s timer but I like old style
