This is a Chinese Puerh tea stuffed into a pomelo (You Zi Cha), c. 1990s, and allowed to age. I purchased it from David Lee Hoffman of “The Phoenix Collection” in Laguinitas, California, in 2017. Since then I’ve been chipping away at it. It brews very clear and aromatic infusions, both earthy and yes, citrusy. I brewed it a few times one morning, then again later that day, then again the next morning. By then it still had such nice flavor. A sign of a good tea. See the original post on this tea.

On Friday my mom surprised my grandma and I with afternoon tea at @parisinacup in Orange, CA. I’ve seen them written up in @teatimemagazine before and was hoping someday I’d get a chance to go! The food was very good and served in really generous portions, so you can take a little nibble home and make the experience last even longer. Atmosphere was cool and there were neat touches of design everywhere you looked. I can’t wait to go back someday and treat myself- hopefully after a long and fruitful day of antiquing, since they are nestled in amongst an entire block of antique stores! We were there to celebrate my Gramie turning 91 on Wednesday. Doesn’t she look great?! They even brought her a separate little tart complete with candle to celebrate. #teatime #teatimemagfeed #afternoontea #teatier #tealover #thisistea #thisisteatime #teasandwiches #pastries #scones #teaandscones #grandmacore #californiateatime #teaaesthetic #tarts (at Paris In A Cup Tea Salon & Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-XhvlAnle/?igshid=1477rptcnaruf

With all the talk about kettles on my Facebook feed gave me an "excuse" to make tea. Not that I really needed one 😂😂😂😂. Having a little Boston Des-Tea-Nation tea from @harneyteas tonight. #adultlife #wednesdaynight #tea #harneyandsonstea #thisistea

What remains after we drink tea? My Interactive Session at the Berlin Tea Festival features two answers: 1. pigment to make unique prints, and 2. a certain beauty in saved leaves…coming soon. Festival Date 23. Nov, my Interactive Session at 13:45.

I’ve loved matcha for a very long time, but rarely prepared it for myself at home. It was more common for me to try working it into baked goods and desserts. But recently I switched out my 5am coffee for a 5am matcha. So I finally decided it was time for a real matcha whisk! Wonderful matcha, beautiful whisk, and whisk holder from @smithteamaker . This matcha smells heavenly and has none of the bitterness I’ve encountered with other brands. It’s simply emerald goodness, and makes those early mornings a touch magical. #tea #teatime #mytea #matcha #greentea #matchalover #peonies #teatimemagfeed @teatimemagazine #japanesetea #japanesematcha #insteagram #creativitea #thisistea #timefortea #matchatea #greenteapowder #tealover #teablogger https://www.instagram.com/p/CCI7NkzAEiY/?igshid=nz7int93beb
