712. Blooming tea

Japanese tea bag maker Ocean-Teabag has been making waves by creating little parcels of aroma in the shape of marine animals. Luckily for us, their wide range of tea bags are available at online Japanese novelty retailer Village Vanguard, maker of such fine products as Space Tea and cat-shaped kitchen utensils.

Ocean-Teabag’s earliest designs included beautiful dolphin tea bags filled with blue mallow tea leaves. Steeping them turns your otherwise normal pot of water into a tranquil ocean. Proving to be a hit among tea lovers, Ocean-Teabag expanded their repertoire to many other sea creatures including the sea turtle (butterfly pea jasmine tea)…

the distinctive ocean sunfish (Japanese hojicha — roasted green tea)…

the graceful manta ray (tropical mango tea)…

and even a blood-thirsty shark (blended herb tea).

The newest addition to their robust series of marine creatures is a tea bag shaped like an innocuous sea cucumber. This little parcel is filled with jasmine tea, as well as a smidgen of sea cucumber powder to lend some authenticity. Ocean-Teabag warns that some people who have a sensitive tongue may find it tasting a little fishy.

The company also crafted a deep sea series that will satisfy even the most adventurous of tea drinkers out there. A few such examples are the anglerfish (earl grey tea)…

the creepy giant isopod (Eastern Beauty oolong tea)…

the horseshoe crab (white apricot tea)…

…and lastly the king of them all, the enormous giant oarfish. ( Delicious Assam tea of epic proportions! ) Just like its namesake, it measures a whopping 19 centimeters (7.5 inches). Drinking tea becomes an art when half of your tea bag hangs out of your cup.

 While the notion of turning your cup of tea into fish-inhabiting waters is not new, these tea bags will hopefully conjure up images of gentle ocean waves in your mind.

Out here early this morning pressing our 2019 Arbor White. We love being a part of the process with our tea, from picking to pressing. After a few months in the mountains this spring it is really fulfilling to see all the teas coming together. P.S. The smell is amazing, wish I could send it #white2tea (at Menghai) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxOK21cB2f1/?igshid=1thvkeps9zdu

if we do get confirmation that pornhub is buying tumblr I’m leaving. I honestly love a lot of what this site is, but if they get their hands on it, I want nothing to do with it. I’ll post twitter links if things go down

Another old tea photodump. Well “old” as in I took the photos forever ago, but just got around to pulling them off my camera and processing them today. I’m… really slow about that.

I love dragonwell-style teas; something about the flat pressed leaves and how they look so beautiful unfolding in a glass vessel… it enchants me. If memory serves me correctly, I enjoyed sipping it as much as I enjoyed looking at it.

Dai Pottery Hand-Made Gaiwan and Cha Hai

These gaiwans are made by local Xishuangbanna Dai People using the same clay and kiln firing techniques that have been used for centuries. These are entirely hand-made from start to finish and require great skill to carve and scrape the patterns into being!

Volume: 180ml-200ml

Each Gaiwan comes in a plush padded gift box like the one shown in the pictures!

Please note: These are hand-made from multi-layered clay, and after firing there can be quite a variance in the color of the clay, particularly on the inside of the bowl and lid, as well as the color in the grooves on the outside of bowl and lid. If you are uncomfortable with some variance in coloring from the pictures please do not order this! We do promise if you do order this item that it will be high quality, beautiful, and great for making tea!
