One of the teas I was most happy to find on my recent trip to Vietnam. Everywhere I asked for #orientalbeauty Oolong, it was only available from plantations. But persistence paid off - turns out there is WILD BEAUTY too!

Small cicadas nibble on the #tea leaves in summer, triggering a natural reaction from the plant. This develops the characteristic honey and fruit notes for which this tea variety is known. The power of wild tea trees adds a special layer of depth.

Happy Wednesday! I hope it’s wonderful!  

Today’s reminder is to add some kindness to the world! Leave a kind note on that fanfic you’ve been reading (keysmashes always count!), check in on a friend, or even just give yourself some extra kindness today! Here’s hoping the day’s as kind as we can all make it!  

Today’s tea is chai, it’s always so comfy! What are you brewing up?  

#Food #Tea

When studying needs fuel, tea or coffee are both amazing.
This morning was some siphon brewed Arbuste cafe blend which came out nice as usual.
This afternoon, some Indonesian black tea (with a touch of sugar for the first cup, a crime, I know).
Now back to getting ready for the upcoming conference !

A #tea review: Luxmi Saffron Chai

A loose leaf black tea with chai, cardamon, and saffron flavors. Honestly? Compared to the Orange Spice from Luxmi, which was a home run for me, this one is underwhelming. The chai and cardamon flavors aren't forward at all, and although I got it out of curiosity because I don't think I've ever had saffron before, I don't think I like the saffron flavor very much. It's not bad, just not exciting either. Both the leaves and the brew smell quite good though.

"Between the sand and the tents,
between smoke and flames,
the true meaning of strength is born.
When life becomes difficult,
hope continues to simmer in our hearts,
just as tea boils over the fire. ☕ ✨"
