Reading a few tea textbooks right now. :blobfoxread: #TeaFacts
Fukamushi Sencha (深蒸し煎茶) is a type of green tea and is the most commonly consumed tea 🍵 in Japan. It is preferred for its rich taste and full mouthfeel. It is best prepared with 70°C (~158°F) to avoid harsh flavors and excess bitterness...
This explains why just dumping freshly boiled water doesn't work, got it.
Mrs Flannestad requested some green tea, so got out the plunger pot to make a larger batch. Trying to remember what timing/ratio I used to use with this thing. 7g in 500ml 190F/90C for 2 mins seemed pretty good. Then second steep for 3 mins.(White2Tea's Emerald Buds green Tea.)
Yay! The National Library's café in #Stockholm has opened again after closing in 2020! And in August the basement restaurant named for an early runologist's enormous note-taking tome will reopen too!
Morning my pet. Do you like being teased over breakfast? I'm holding these scrambled eggs with veggies and cheese just out of reach. You're here to pour my jasmine tea for me and kneel at my feet, after all. You get your treat after you do something for me: tell me what a good pet you are and that you're going to take care of yourself today. ❤️
Morning my pet. Today's breakfast is duck eggs. The yolks were prepared as a crispy treat and the whites were made into an egg white omelet. This pairs really well with an Earl Grey tea or a ginger tea if you don't like caffeine. Of course, I'll feed you a bite if you come to my table and beg me just right. ❤️
2021 JingMai MiYun raw puerh. Farmer Leaf's "Daily Drinker" JingMai blend from younger eco farmed trees is a treat that will probably out live me before it reaches it's peak drinkability. So, there is no time like today.
Morning my pet. Would you like a bowl? If you crawl towards me and swear you're going to be a good pet today, I'll let you have some. I'll even feed it to you. Would you like that? Tell me something positive about yourself and swear you're going to be good for me, my pet. ❤️😈
