Plocealauda Alström et al., 2023 (new genus)

(An individual of Plocealauda assamica, photographed by J.M.Garg, under CC BY-SA 3.0)

Meaning of name: Plocealauda = Ploceus [genus of weaverbirds including the Asian golden weaver] Alauda [genus of larks including the Eurasian skylark]

Species included: P. assamica (Bengal bush lark, type species, previously in Mirafra), P. affinis (Jerdon’s bush lark, previously in Mirafra), P. erythrocephala (Indochinese bush lark, previously in Mirafra), P. erythroptera (Indian bush lark, previously in Mirafra), and P. microptera (Burmese bush lark, previously in Mirafra)

Age: Holocene (Meghalayan), extant

Where found: Open habitats in Southern and Southeast Asia

Notes: Plocealauda is a genus of larks, a group of largely ground-dwelling songbirds that live in open habitats, mainly in Afro-Eurasia. The members of Plocealauda are among the many larks that were formerly classified in the genus Mirafra. Traditionally, Mirafra included about two dozen lark species that have relatively robust bills and range across Africa, southern Asia, and Australia. However, a new study finds that this classic conception of Mirafra not only includes many more species than other lark genera, but also probably originated substantially earlier than closely related genera.

For the sake of consistency, the authors of this study suggest that Mirafra should be split up into four separate genera. One of these genera keeps the name Mirafra, whereas the old names Corypha and Amirafra are resurrected for two others. For the fourth group, the name Plocealauda has been used in 19th Century literature, but because past uses of this name did not fulfill the requirements of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature to establish a new genus name, the authors of the new study had to formally coin Plocealauda as a new name in their paper for it to be considered valid.

Tea Time: December 18th 2023

For a while now I've been chronicling my daily tea sessions to my friends on discord, but realized today that they'd actually make for halfway decent blog posts!! Expect these bad boys daily from now on

December 18th, 2023 Tea: Red W Vendor: White2Tea (Monthly Club) Brewing Style: Gaiwan, 100C, 5s rinse + 9 steeps

Red W is a black tea (also known as red tea in China, fully oxidized leaves) that has been pressed into a small cake. There are two varieties of tea leaves, assamica and sinensis, and this is made from the former which is somewhat atypical. Most tea we drink in the west (the tea grown in india, kenya, argentina, etc) is assamica, while chinese and japanese teas are mostly sinensis. The leaves of assamica are more broad, the flavor is more intense, and it's used for black tea most of the time. That's why Chinese black tea (red tea / hongcha) tastes so different than something like English breakfast-- it's a completely different cultivar of the plant

This particular pressing is made from leaves from super old trees (a classification known as gushu / old arbor). The only reason it's within price range is because it was plucked and pressed in the fall-- spring old arbor is far more expensive than fall old arbor. It's a pretty decent find, so I'm lucky enough to have gotten it in the rotation

The tea itself has mellowed out considerably from when I got it in February, taking on a much more velvety texture and thick, soft mouthfeel. It keeps most of the notes I would expect from a black tea, but with a heavy body and muted notes of malt and grass. It reminds me of a more "fluffy" version of a lot of western teas, drawing on the same flavor profile with more viscosity and a heavier feeling around the mouth and throat. There isn't really any lingering sweetness or other finish worth noting, but the tea maintains a mellow, cozy feel throughout the steeps. Solid cup for the winter

What are they? What do they mean!? Pokémon characters are mostly named after plants or flowers and I like to think there are deeper meanings behind the type of character and the chosen floura. Here is some research I did into the Camellia plant, its uses, meanings, and more! All of my sources will be available at the bottom of this post for ease of access! I will be referencing this post for my own head canons and fanfiction, but anyone is welcome to read this assortment of tingz ‘n stuff.

Beginning with the plant itself,

Camellia sinensis is a species of evergreen shrub or small tree in the flowering plant family Theaceae. Its leaves and leaf buds are used to produce the popular beverage, tea. Common names include tea plant, tea shrub, and tea tree. White tea, yellow tea, green tea, oolong, dark tea and black tea are all harvested from one of two major varieties grown today, Camellia sinensis (sinesis variety) and Camellia sinesis (assamica variety). Direct quote from Wikipedia

The genus for the plant was given by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 after a Jesuit pharmacist and missionary, Georg Kamel, as an homage to his contributions to botany; the species was taken from the Latin “sinensis,” which means “from China” since this stinky plant originated from East and Southeast Asia as well as the Indian Subcontinent.

It is an evergreen shrub or small tree that is usually trimmed to below 2 m (6.6 ft) when cultivated for its leaves. It has a strong taproot. The flowers are yellow-white, 2.5–4 cm (0.98–1.57 in) in diameter, with seven or eight petals. Direct quote from Wikipedia

The seeds of the plant are used for tea oil and cooking oil, and the leaves have 4% caffeine! It keeps bugs and other pests away by paralysing and killing them, but humans love it and it is very made of yum! The smaller leaves are plucked and harvested to make teas. If you let the Camellia sinensis plant live its best life and don’t mess with it, it will grow up big and strong and evolve from a shrub into a whole tree! To avoid a giant tree of stinky Camellias, the plants are normally trimmed to make plucking easier.

Interesting fact: herbal teas (or herbal infusions) are labelled as such because these kinds of beverages do not come from the Camellia sinensis or any of its variants; instead, herbal teas are comrpised of infusions from other plants, fruits, leaves, or chamomile.

In Japan

In Japan, the Camellia plant is used for tea and ornamental purposes. The flowers have their own religious and ceremonial significance.

The native tsubaki (椿) or "tree with shining leaves" held a special place in Japanese thought. It was a belief of the Shinto religion that the gods in spirit form made the flowers of the tsubaki their home when on an earthly visit. Plantings of the tsubaki were an essential feature of temple gardens, graveyards, and other areas associated with the religious life of the community. Today, many old varieties of camellia may be found in the old temple compounds of Japan. Camellias are not as popular as cut flowers in Japan because they are associated with "beheading". The camellia blossom often falls off the plant in its entirety, symbolic of a man's head being cut off. Direct quote from The American Camellia Society

The Camellia japonica is one flavour of Camellia that does originate from Japan which can grow into trees of 30 or so feet. The Camellia japonica plant blooms in the winter season with big red flowers that have five to six petals. They can also come in pink or white, but the red ones are the norm for this type of stinky Camellia!

Some of these babies come out during the fall months of September to December like the Camellia sasanqua, which is another Japanese flavour of Camellia. These have white, extremely fragile flowers that are harder to keep as cut flowers. They are also apparently less hardy than the japonica species which makes sense if the japonica is used to coming out of hiding during the winter!

Hanakotoba 花言葉 (flower words), are the Japanese equivalent to floriography: the Victorian symbolisms and meanings given to different kinds of flowers, and the use of flowers as a subtle way to communicate certain thoughts and sentiments. The meaning and symbolism of the Camellia flower depends on its colour.

Generally, red camellias mean “in love” or “perishing with grace.” For warriors, however, they symbolize a noble death. White camellias mean waiting. Pink or yellow camellias mean longing for or missing someone. Direct quote from Petal Republic

The Camellia is a very stinky gift to injured or ill people in Japan because as they die, the flowers fall off which (as mentioned above) resemble beheading. Mayhaps a different gift would be better in that case…

In China

These flowers are a big deal around the Lunar New Year because they bloom during this transitionary period, so they appear a lot in Japanese and Chinese celebrations and décor for this annual occasion! Wow!

The camellia is native to China where it has a rich national history, particularly in the southwest region. Here, camellia flowers grow wild and during the early spring entire fields will be covered in colorful camellias. In China, the camellia represents the union between two lovers. The delicately layered petals represent the woman, and the calyx (the green leafy part of the stem that holds the petals together) represents the man who protects her. The two components are joined together, even after death. Direct quote from J. Parker's

In Western Floriography

Like the Japanese hanakotoba, the meaning of a Camellia flower varies with colour: the general meanings for all Camellias are admiration; perfection; good luck, or “gift to a man.” Pink ones convey a longing for someone. Red ones communicate that “you're a flame in my heart.”  White ones are an indirect way of saying “you’re adorable!” I wish that Victorian floriography was brought back along with pockets in women’s dresses; it sure would make flirting and rejection a lot easier!

In Pop Culture

The most obvious pop culture icon is stinky sMelli himself, but here is another notable one from literature! La dame aux camélias (the Lady of the Camellias) is a novel written by Alexandre Dumas in 1848 which was then adapted into a play in 1852.

The novel tells the tragic love story between fictional characters Marguerite Gautier, a demimondaine or courtesan suffering from consumption, and Armand Duval, a young bourgeois. Marguerite is nicknamed la dame aux camélias (French for ''the lady of the camellias'') because she wears a red camellia when she is menstruating and unavailable for sex and a white camellia when she is available to her lovers. Direct quote from Wikipedia

I may or may not be back with more behind the meanings of floura—I do think it’s hilarious that giving someone a yellow carnation means they’re a disappointment, and that certain flowers can be given as an elegant, yet refined middle finger! Please bring back flowers as a way to communicate things—consider this a patch update to living that I so desperately yearn for. It would remove a lot of ambiguity and cut down on the time I must spend, deciphering whatever the heck neurotypicals are feeling.

So I was trying to find out how much caffeine is in the tea that I drink (earl gray, so I knew it would be a good amount but didn’t know how much it was) and I tried to find the nutrition facts since I couldn’t find anything anywhere else (well I could find 30-60 mg but a possible 30 mg difference is crazy so I wanted actual answers and—)

So I couldn’t find any more specific info about the caffeine content so I’m just gonna say 60 to be safe but.

25mg is 8 fluid oz???? What????? I’m assuming they’re saying to put one bag per 8 fl oz of water but like they aren’t giving the actual nutrition facts of the tea then.

Also Zinc is %. How much percent? Percent percent.

I get that the rest could be so little in terms of g/mg/cal that it can’t be or round up to a whole number but wtf???

Also their ingredients list is unhelpful “black tea, natural oil of bergamot” ok cool but like what flower? What plant? Don’t y’all love giving hard to pronounce and stupid names for your ingredients? Why stop now?

Also kinda unrelated but this is what a black tea (camellia sinensis sinensis/camellia sinensis assamica) flower looks like

Darjeeling tea is harvested in distinct flushes or seasons, namely first flush, second flush, monsoon flush, and autumn flush. Each flush has its own unique characteristics, influenced by factors such as weather conditions, temperature, and rainfall.

The tea leaves are plucked by hand, ensuring the selection of only the youngest and most tender leaves, which are prized for their flavor and aroma.

4. Flavor Profile:

Darjeeling tea is celebrated for its complex flavor profile, which often includes floral, muscatel, fruity, and nutty notes. The tea exhibits a delicate balance of sweetness, astringency, and briskness, with a lingering finish that tantalizes the palate.

Grab Your Cup of Assam Black Tea and Enjoy the Flavors of India

India is well-known for having various tea plantations across the country. The tea leaves and buds from each region have a distinct taste, flavor, texture, color, and strength. The tea plantations in Assam are among the best and famous for their rich golden color. 

The climatic conditions make it possible to harvest the tea leaves twice a year. The harvests are called first flush and second flush. Our Assam best tea contains premium second flush (summer flush) black tea leaves harvested mid-May. This tea is also called tippy, as the leaves have golden tips from being exposed to the summer sun. The brew from second flush black tea is darker and sweeter, reminding us of the beauty of summer. 

What Makes Assam Tea Special

Assam tea comes from the plant Camellia sinensis var assamica, native to the region. It is different from the tea plants in other regions like Darjeeling, Nilgiri, etc. The higher caffeine content makes it a perfect choice for breakfast and day-time consumption. The climate in the valley of the Brahmaputra River produces warm temperatures and higher humidity, resulting in greater taste and yield. Don’t be surprised to detect a subtle hint of earthiness or smokiness in Assam Black Tea. 

The leaves are harvested, dried, and oxidized (also called fermentation), where they are exposed to oxygen in a temperature-controlled environment. This changes the chemical composition of the leaves to bring out the malty flavor, rich color, and mouthwatering aroma. The intact leaves are of higher quality. These are carefully vacuum-sealed in neat packages while the broken leaves and leftover dust are used elsewhere. 

Assam tea is easy to make. The lovely golden-hued leaves take less time to brew. You can leave them a minute or two longer for a stronger and bitter flavor.
